Smart Cookies

Hi Everyone,
I found this recipe for these cookies this weekend, when I was reading a magazine.

                                      Smart Cookies

Heat oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using an electric mixer, beat all ingredients in a large bowl until everything is completely mixed together.

Drop a teaspoon full of cookie dough about 1 ½ inches apart on the cookie sheet. Bake until the cookies are puffed and starting to lightly brown around the edges. 

Bake the cookies 8 to 10 minutes.  Let them cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

1 Cup Chunky or Creamy Peanut Butter—I used JIF Extra Crunch

¾ cup Splenda Brown Sugar

1 large egg

¾ tsp baking power

I figured out the Nutrition Facts on "Our Daily Plate."  Both my husband and I loved them.  Now remember ONLY  1 or 2 cookies.  They are 64 calories per cookie.  Remember we eat SMALL amounts of food. 

It is always nice to find something like this and to be able to share it with you.  You could also find a Peanut Butter that has NO SUGAR and that would cut out some calories too.  They do make Peanut Butter that does not have sugar in it.

Hugs, and enjoy them

Doesn't Splenda brown sugar have sugar added, too? I know Kroger makes one that doesn't. Just thinking that might be another way to cut some carbs. I made carrot cake protein pancakes this morning... very good and very few carbs with zero sugar. Happy baking!

 Would you please share the recipe for that? 

Hi,

You are so right and I plan on using it next time.  There is some sugar in Jif Peanut Butter.  McAdams makes a peanut butter that hase NO sugar.

Thanks.
Suzanne

 Could you use PB2 instead and save a ton of calories?

Hi,

What is PB2?

Take care,
Suzanne
