Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl Cookies

Healthy Fact of the Day

While these Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl Cookies are a delightful treat, they can be made healthier with a few simple swaps. Opt for natural peanut butter without added sugars to boost protein and healthy fats. Incorporate whole wheat pastry flour for an extra fiber boost. Dark chocolate kisses provide antioxidants, and reducing sugar or using a natural sweetener can lower the calorie count. The protein from peanut butter makes these cookies more satisfying than many others. For portion control, consider making smaller cookies or freezing part of the batch. Remember, these are special occasion cookies that should be enjoyed in moderation as part of an overall balanced diet.

Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup unsalted butter
1.5 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line baking sheets with parchment paper to organize the workspace.
In a large mixing bowl, cream peanut butter, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract for a smooth blend.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the creamed mixture.
Divide batter in half; to one portion, stir in cocoa powder and chocolate chips to form brownie mixture.
Using a cookie scoop, drop alternating spoons of peanut butter and brownie mixtures onto prepared baking sheets.
Using a skewer, gently swirl the two batters together to create a marbled effect for visually appealing cookies.
Bake in preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until cookies are set and edges are lightly browned.
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto

Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto is a rich and indulgent dish, but there are ways to make it even healthier while maintaining its creamy texture and luxurious flavor. Using low-sodium chicken stock can help reduce sodium intake, while swapping brown rice or cauliflower rice for Arborio rice can increase fiber and lower the carb content. Lobster is naturally high in protein and low in fat, making it a great lean seafood choice, but using less butter and replacing some with heart-healthy olive oil can further lighten the dish. Opting for reduced-fat Parmesan or nutritional yeast can provide cheesy flavor with less saturated fat. The addition of lemon juice and zest not only enhances brightness but also delivers vitamin C and antioxidants. Serve with a side of leafy greens for an extra nutrient boost, and enjoy this creamy risotto as part of a well-balanced meal!

Bang Bang Cauliflower

Bang Bang Cauliflower is a flavorful way to enjoy vegetables, but you can make it even healthier by baking instead of frying to reduce oil and calories. Use whole wheat panko breadcrumbs for added fiber, and swap regular mayonnaise for Greek yogurt or a light mayo to lower fat content while keeping the creamy texture. Cauliflower itself is nutrient-rich, providing vitamins C and K, antioxidants, and fiber to support digestion and overall health. The Sriracha and honey in the sauce add bold flavor with minimal calories, making this dish a satisfying and nutritious snack or appetizer option. Enjoy it as part of a balanced meal!

Chicken Recipes

Creamy Low Carb Chicken Casserole

Creamy Low Carb Chicken Casserole offers a comforting, protein-packed meal with wholesome ingredients. The chicken breasts provide lean protein to support muscle health, while broccoli adds fiber, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants. Using heavy cream, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese delivers richness and healthy fats that align with low-carb or keto diets. For a lighter option, you can substitute part of the heavy cream with unsweetened almond milk or use reduced-fat cheese. The garlic and onion powders add flavor without adding carbs, and seasoning to taste with salt and pepper allows you to control sodium levels. This dish is a satisfying way to enjoy comfort food while sticking to low-carb goals. Pair it with a side of leafy greens for added nutrients and balance.
