Peanut Butter Cookies with Truvia® Baking Blend

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

In a large bowl, cream together Truvia® Baking Blend, peanut butter, shortening, butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)

In a separate bowl, whisk together sifted flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

Roll the dough into 1 1/4 inch balls and gently flatten them slightly. (10 minutes)

Arrange the cookies 3 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

Using a fork, create a classic crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie by gently pressing down twice at right angles. (5 minutes)

Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (14 minutes)

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)
