Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 10 min./batch YIELD: about 4 dozen.
This soft and chewy low-carb cookie recipe, developed by our Test Kitchen, calls for canola oil instead of butter to reduce the saturated fat. It's hard to eat just one!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup baking cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Beat first four ingredients until blended. Add vanilla; beat in eggs one at a time. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture (dough will be sticky). Stir in chocolate chips.
  • 2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten slightly with a glass.
  • 3. Bake cookies until set and tops are cracked, 8-10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool.
