God Bless Paula Deen for Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies! - ThinnerTimes

Borrowed from another WL site:

God Bless Paula Deen for Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies!

1 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 tbsp vanilla
1 cup Splenda

Mix and roll into balls (about walnut sized) and flatten with fork dipped in Splenda. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.

TIPS
-Do NOT overcook -- they will get crumbly since there's no gluten
-Peanut butter is naturally low sugar - the low sugar kind only reduces it by 1g per serving.

Sorry Kel, I should have mentioned I haven't made them yet. But girl, they've got PEANUT BUTTER in them!

What's not to like?

The fat?

I'm guessing that recipe is going to make somewhere around 15 cookies. That'd work out at around 9-10g of fat per cookie.

No problem if you know that you can look on them as an occasional treat - unfortunately, I can't.

If there were gold medals being dished out at the olympics for cookie eating - I'd win gold every time.

It's all about making wise choices (as Claire would say) - I just can't be trusted to have them in the house - they just keep calling to me! LOL

Let me know how they turn out - I can dream!

OMG!

Thanks for alerting us Corrine. I think I would have eventually realized this by the time I assembled the ingredients and looked at the peanut butter label, but by then I would have been CRAVING them.

I think I'd rather pass on these. Sorry everyone!

You don't have to be sorry Sherry. They're not bad cookies - but they're cookies! The original devil food.....or is that M&M's! lol

If you know that you can restrict yourself to the odd treat then it's fine. But speaking for myself - I didn't arrive at this point in my life because I was eating bad things. I just ate too much of them and ate them too often.

So! Cookies are are a no go area for me (along with peanut M&M's) purely because I can't have just one.

There look to be a lot of low fat cookie recipes there.

I made these this weekend for some company we had over, trying to be a good host without having to buy any ingredients I didn't want to keep in the house (like sugar and flour).

This recipe is originally listed as 1 cup of sugar (in the cookbook). For splenda I don't think this should be a full cup as these as incredibly sweet. Even my dog refused to eat a second bite. I am going to do some tinkering with the amount but thought I would let you know.
