2. Grease a baking sheet with butter (or PAM!) and set aside.
3. Combine peanut butter and sugar in a mixer until smooth.
4. Add egg and baking soda and mix for another 2 minutes.
5. Roll 1 tsp of dough into balls and place onto the sheet. Flatten them.

    No need for butter OR Pam if you line your cookie sheet with parchment paper

    Just my opinion, and it might be better used as an ingredient rather than eating plain, but I wouldn't bother spending your money on Better N' Peanut Butter.... the taste is NOT worth the reduced calories. MHO

    I've never heard of "better than egg." I guess if it's used in baking, it would work. But the one egg in the recipe works out to less than 3 calories per cookie.

    I'm confused with the sugar substitute...maybe someone can clarify it for me. I have read online that if your using stevia and the recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar that you should just use 1 tsp of stevia....seems odd to me. Anyone ever cook with stevia and followed that conversion?

    Agreed...it is pretty gross. I'd use PB2 instead! And you can use 2 egg whites in place of a full egg, you won't be able to tell the difference.

    Makes about 15 cookies that are about 75 cals each, but macros are 5/5/5.

    Thanks for this. I love simple recipes with ingredients that are standard in my pantry.

    a cookie the size of a tsp hardly seems worth 36 calories
