Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Beat butter, peanut butter, applesauce, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs and beat until smooth.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl; stir into peanut butter batter. Put batter in refrigerator for 1 hour.

Bake in preheated oven until cookies begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
