I highly recommend it for this recipe for a couple of reasons! First, it's a little more oily than regular peanut butter, and that oil will help make these peanut butter kiss cookies soft and delicious. Second, it has less u003ca href=u0022https://the-perfect-pear.com/macronutrients-101-facts-about-fat/u0022u003etrans fatsu003c/au003e than regular peanut butter. Standard peanut butter (that doesn't naturally separate) is made with hydrogenated oils, which are a source of inflammatory trans fats. So I try to use natural nut butters whenever I can!
