Ct in Ut's Peanut Butter Cookies - Pantry Friendly & Healthy

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 23 cup all-purpose flour
• 13 cup dried pinto bean, ground flour (or white bean flour)
• 12 cup Splenda sugar substitute
• 12 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed (break up any large clumps)
• 12 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 12 cup peanut butter (chunky preferred)
• 3 tablespoons water (only add if too dry)
• cooking spray

1. Whisk flours together in order listed in medium mixing bowl.
2. Add Splenda & baking soda, whisk.
3. Add light brown sugar, whisk & break up any large clumps.
4. Add applesauce & vanilla, mix with spoon until all ingredients are wet.
5. Add peanut butter & mix well with spoon.
6. Add 1 TB of water at a time if your dough is "very" dry.
7. This happens in arid climates & if your flours are older.
8. Tear off 20" sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap.
9. Spoon dough into a 16" log (or two 8" logs) onto paper.
10. Pat dough gently with fingertips (coat fingertips with cooking spray if you want do it the easiest way) until dough is a nice round 16" long log.
11. Wrap log tight in paper & freeze for at least 6 hours or for 3+ days for later use.
12. Preheat oven to 350F Coat two 12x17 sheet pans with cooking spray.
13. Slice the frozen dough log into 1/3 thick cookies, about 40 count.
14. Put on pans 1 apart because they will spread while cooking into a nice oval shape.
15. Cook for 9min in convection oven or about 13min regular oven.
16. Cool 5min on pan, remove onto wax paper or cooling racks & cool 5min more.
17. Enjoy!
18. Store any remaining "completely cooled cookies in zip top bag.
19. Notes: I tried several different flour combos & here is what I found.
20. Can use only AP Flour, or half wheat & half AP Flour, but not all wheat because the wheat overpowered the peanut butter flavor.
21. I wanted bean flour in there because of the added protein.
22. Do not change the bean flour ratio because it will give it a subtle bean flavor.
23. To fancy it up drizzle 1 cup of melted chocolate chips on the warm cookies for a more decadent look.
