Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter (80g)
  • 1 Tbsp light butter (14g)
  • 2 Tbsp egg whites (30g)
  • 1 Tbsp sugar-free pancake syrup (15g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar alternative (96g) I used Swerve
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 14 Hershey's kisses (64g) unwrapped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer or with a handheld mixer, beat together the peanut butter, butter, egg whites, pancake syrup, vanilla, and brown sugar until combined.
  3. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and beat again until all the ingredients are incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Roll the dough into 14 balls and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten to desired thickness and smooth the edges of the cookies.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cookies are cooked through. Be careful not to over-bake these as they will start to get crumbly! I always take out at 8 minutes. They will seem a tad underdone but they will set with time.
  6. While cookies are baking, go ahead and unwrap the kisses. When cookies are done, immediately press the Hershey kiss into the center of each cookie, then place on a wire rack to let cool.

Notes

  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months!
  • To make gluten-free: use Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour and decrease flour by 2 Tbsp.
  • To make vegan: use vegan butter and pure maple syrup. Replace egg whites with recommended egg replacement.
