No-Flour Peanut Butter Cookies! (Low Carb AND Low Cal!)

Devonwood · July 2012

Another recipe I've adapted to make healthier, though the original (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/claire-robinson/flourless-peanut-butter-cookies-recipe/index.html) isn't bad either.

1 cup Peanut Butter (I used Reduced Fat Jif)
1 cup Sugar Substitute (I used Sweet N' Low, and about 20 packets, which is slightly less than a cup)
3 tablespoons Egg Substitute (I used original Egg Beaters)
1 teapoon Vanilla Extract
Coarse Sea Salt

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
2. In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar substitute, egg beaters, and vanilla until well combined.
3. Spoon approx. 1 tablespoon of mixture about 1 inch apart onto an ungreased baking sheet.
4. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making crosshatching patterns into the cookies
5. Sprinkle sea salt on top of the cookies
6. Bake until golden around the edges, approx. 10 minutes

Makes: 15 cookies

They taste and look just like regular peanut butter cookies, nothing diet about them. The sea salt gives them a really nice edge, though I actually used a bit too much and could have done without.
