If you are trying to watch your sugar intake or trying to be a little healthier, these cookies are for you. They are made with Splenda and if I calculated right, they are 1.5 Weight Watcher points per cookie. This recipe came from Paula Deen and they really are good. Peanut Butter cookies are my favorite, and these are soft and chewy and very peanut buttery...is that even a word?! You could probably get away with a low fat peanut butter, but I have to admit, I am a peanut butter snob. Only Peter Pan Creamy for me. The recipe said that Paula got 18 cookies out of the batch, I used my cookie scoop and got 22 cookies. They are a perfect 2 or 3 bite cookie, not too big or not too small.This is the first of my healthy baking, and I was not disappointed. I hope the others turn out as good!
Peanut Butter Cookies with Splenda
By: Paula Deen
1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
1 cup Splenda
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat your cookie sheet with cooking spray.
Mix together all the ingredients until they are combined. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Press criss crosses on the top of the cookies with a fork, because really, what is a peanut butter cookie without the criss crosses? Bake for 10-12 minutes.
