Lightened-up peanut butter cookies with Hershey's kisses on top.
Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time9 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Course: Baking, Dessert
Keyword: cookies, peanut butter, weight watchers
Servings: 20 people

Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp Baking powder
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar or 1:1 zero-calorie replacement
  • 3 tbsp Light butter substitute
  • 4 tbsp Reduced-fat peanut butter spread
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 20 Hershey’s kisses

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, gently mix together the butter substitute and the peanut butter. Once they are well blended, you can add the sugar or sweetener and mix to combine.
  • Next, add the egg and vanilla, followed by the dry ingredients. Stop mixing once everything is evenly distributed and the dough comes together (refer to tips if it is dry).
  • Use a tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop 20 cookie balls. Roll them into a ball and place them on the tray with some space in between. Then gently press them down with your hand before baking.
  • Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until they barely turn from shiny to matte (watch closely during this time window). While they bake, unwrap the Hershey's kisses so they are ready to go.
  • After removing the cookies from the oven, immediately top each one with a Hershey's Kiss before the cookies set. If your kitchen is a warm environment, you can keep the chocolates in the refrigerator or freezer before topping the cookies to prevent them from melting too much.
