Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
1 1/3 cups baking sugar replacement (recommended: Splenda)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet.

In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, 1 cup sugar replacement, the egg, and vanilla, and stir well with a spoon. Roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. With a fork, dipped in sugar replacement to prevent sticking, press a crisscross design on each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes, remove from the oven, and sprinkle the cookies with some of the remaining sugar replacement. Cool slightly before removing from pan.

good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I baked this cookie just now.... it came out perfect and yummy. Mine are not crumbly if u don't crumble them yourself. They... were moist too. Probably because I did not use too much sugar. I use brown sugar too about 2 teaspoons and probably about less than a quarter cup of sugar, because peanut butter is sweet already. I didn't measure my ingredients..:-) just toss them all together. I Sprinkled a bit of pancake mix to get to the consistency that I want. My kids want to put M&M's in the middle, so we did. And whala!.... we had a perfect peanut butter cookies. We'll be making these again. Thanks Paula!Read more

These are perhaps the worst cookies I have ever come across. Not only did they taste like garbage, but they literally took a... layer off of my tongue. It was like putting peanut butter in the oven accidentally. For goodness sake Paula, don't put your name on a recipe that you clearly have no tried.Read more

Pleasantly surprised
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was very skeptical of this recipe because it has no flour and no butter but the cookies were awesome. I used regular sugar... rather than Splenda and the cookies were great. I also used about a cup and a quarter of peanut butter and didn't sprinkle the top with sugar because my husband doesn't like it. The cookies were so good that the first batch was gone before I got the second batch out of the oven!!! I don' t know how these cookies work, but they do and this recipe is awesomeRead more
