Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies (Parve)

By Giora Shimoni, About.com

An enthusiastic visitor to the About.com Kosher Food site and mother of three has contributed this Healthy Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe. These cake-like cookies are made with natural applesauce instead of oil, butter or margarine.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup of natural applesauce
  • 3/4 cup of smooth natural peanut butter
  • 1 box Duncan Hines yellow cake mix (parve)
  • 1/2 cup mini-chocolate chips (optional)

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan.
2. Mix eggs, apple sauce and peanut butter.
3. Slowly add cake mix. Mix in a small amount, and repeat until the entire box is mixed in (usually in six different mixes, especially if mixing by hand).
4. Batter will be thick. If a thinner batter is desired, add a bit more applesauce. If a stronger peanut taste is desired, add up to another 1/4 cup peanut butter.
5. Pour batter into pan. Batter can be spread within 1/3 inch from edges and it will spread out during cooking.
6. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for 25-30 minutes. Cool on wire cookie rack.

VARIATIONS: Mix chocolate chips into batter before baking.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Enjoy cold or warm with a big glass of milk.
