This recipe comes from BlainS / Alton Brown. I've played with it a bit and I think it has the potential to be amazing. Beneath the recipe, I'll share my experience and ideas that people could volunteer to try out:
Ingredients
268 grams Peanut butter
120 grams brown sugar substitute (I used Swerve)
120 grams granulated sweetener
1 egg (if you make with natural peanut butter use 2 eggs)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (leave out to make peanut butter cookies)
Preheat oven to 350
In your favorite mixing bowl combine peanut butter and sweetener
Create a well for the egg.
Add baking soda vanilla and salt
Stir to combine
Stir in chocolate chips
Using a small cookie scoop dish cookies on your favorite baking sheet
Bake until golden brown
Should make about 20 cookies
-------------------------------------------------------
I've made this twice. I've discovered that 1 egg isn't enough when using natural peanut butter. 2 eggs seem like a bit much. The first batch had Purecane for my white sweetener and Swerve Brown for the brown. The erythritol cooling effect was very noticeable. The second batch, I used Purecane and Truvia brown. There was still a slight cooling effect.
I use a #50 scoop and it yields 24 cookies without chocolate chips. I've also found that the cookies spread a bit too much (possible due to the 2 eggs). In my oven, it seems that 16 minutes is about the optimal time to cook and have the cookies stay moist.
In my mind, the next experiments that need to occur are:
- Using 1 large egg and 1 yolk
- Using BochaSweet as the white sweetener and Truvia Brown (even though it contains molasses) as the sweetener
- Adding peanut flower or PBFit to intensify the peanut flavor and perhaps reduce the spread
- Adding collagen or gelatin to give the cookies a bit more chew
If anyone wants to volunteer to do one of these versions and tell (and/or show) us your results, let me know.
Illegitimi non carborundum
my BochaSweet supplier is all out but when I get some I'd like to give this a whirl.
Cooker of Good Food and Stuff
I've been playing around with the recipe. I'm out of brown and sugar so I'm getting creative. I replaced the brown sugar with allulose.
I also used all natural almond butter from Sam's. I used two eggs.
Since I didn't have the brown sugar I used two droppers of Sweet Leaf English Toffee drops.
I'm to try a batch with far different ingredients.. I'll let you know.
