Ingredients

2.0
2 cup packed light brown sugar 0.5
0 1/2 cup Peanut Butter, creamy 0.25
0 1/4 cup canola oil 2.0
2 each eggs 2.0
2 tsp vanilla extract 2.0
2 cup white all purpose flour 0.6667

1 tsp low sodium baking powder 1.0
1 tsp baking soda 0.5
0 1/2 tsp salt 0.3333

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 3 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, peanut butter, oil, eggs and vanilla; add 5 teaspoons water and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
In a small bowl, stir together white and whole wheat flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Stir the dry ingredients into the brown sugar mixture just until combined.
Roll the dough between your palms into 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Flatten the cookies with a fork, dipping it into flour if it begins to stick to the dough. Sprinkle with peanuts, pressing them lightly into the dough with your fingers.
Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, if they last that long! Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
