What is powdered peanut butter?

To make these peanut butter cookies low in fat, I used powdered peanut butter instead of regular peanut butter. Powdered peanut butter is essentially peanuts have have been pressed to remove much of the oil and fats. This leaves the taste but reduces the fat and calories, leaving you with a peanut powder that can be reconstituted in water.

I often use it as a replacement for peanut butter, especially in sauces, and I also just mix it with water to eat as a spread or dip.

These cookies definitely taste like they’re healthy but they’re enough of a treat to satisfy my sweet tooth and cookie cravings. You can always add dairy-free chocolate chips if you want them to feel a bit more like dessert!
