Chewy Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

 

adapted from recipe byJessica Merchant 

  • 12 oz powdered sugar
  • 2 oz organic cocoa
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 c. chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp Saratoga Peanut Butter (either Plain Jane or Chillin’ Chocolate)

Preheat oven to 350.

Stir dry ingredients together in a stand mixer. Turn mixer on low and add egg whites one at a time – the batter will be very dry until the last egg white. Add vanilla and turn mixer on high for 2 minutes.

Spoon batter onto a parchment- lined cookie sheet. They will be very sticky. With moistened fingers, “pull back” the center of each cookie and insert about 5 chocolate chips and a scant tsp of peanut butter. Close the cookie. (procedure shown below)

Bake for 15 minutes, then let cool before removing from parchment paper.

Makes 14 cookies.
