Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cookies

A couple of days ago I was watching the Food Network, Paula Deen to be exact and she had a recipe for peanut butter cookies without flour. Made them and they are fantastic. They are also sugar-free, made with Splenda.

Magical Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy

1 1/3 cups baking sugar replacement (recommended: Splenda)

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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.

I love this recipe except with regular sugar or xylitol. I can't do artificial sweeteners.

Thanks for posting

Just printed it out. My daughter and I will try them right now. We're going to use regular sugar. I hope that works. Doesn't it all just melt into liguidy goo? Should I throw in some rice flour? I have some sweet rice flour that I bought the other day. I had no idea what I was buying it for, it's just that I was surprised my regular supermarket had it, so I got it. The food banks benefit from my impulsiveness every Thanksgiving.

Bleah. Sweet rice flour is NOT sweet.

I added 2tblspoons of sweet rice flour because I couldn't see how the peanut butter and sugar wouldn't just turn into gooey slime. Have you seen what happens to peanut butter on toast? Anyway, I also added lots of chopped bakers chocolate *kraft brand*. They're so delicious! Thanks!
