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.

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

Best ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm not big on sugar substitutes and have to be careful with my kids allergies to them. This recipe is awesome for people... cutting calories and trying to use more natural ingredients. Everyone that I've made them for loves them and can't believe they are "diet"Read more
