Low Carb, Sugar Free, and YUMMY Peanut Butter Cookies


Now you all aren't going to believe me, but my husband who isn't low carbing and HATES peanut butter tried one of these cookies, and he said, and I quote: "This is probably the only way I will ever like peanut butter!"



1 cup of low carb peanut butter
1 1/2 cup of Splenda
1 egg
Cooking Spray
Splenda

Preheat oven to 350. Mix Peanut butter, Splenda, and egg in a bowl. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Roll peanut butter mixture into balls and place on cookie sheet. Dip a fork into Splenda and make criss cross patterns on the balls.

Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until cookies are solid.

Wow those sound great!! I will have to try those asap!!

Thank you so much.

I guess you wouldnt know a actual carb count per cookie huh?

I am going to right now Peanut butter cookies are my FAVORITE.

I love these cookies....thanks for the recipe, but I'm confused...is it one and a half cups of splenda or one half cup? I've seen the recipe two ways.

It is half a cup I tried it with one and a half cups....way to sweet. Yikes!

Thanks so much! I thought that may be toooo much

I'm off to the kitchen right now to make these. After my episode yesterday with the cookies in the house....I think I should keep a better alternative around. These sound awesome!

I just made these cookies and they were very good..........too good. I got 36 quarter size cookies out of it. so they come to about 2.13 gram of carb per cookie. I cant eat just one either. I ate 6 or so right out of the oven. I am not strong enough to resist these things.

May be a dumb question...but i dont know so here goes.. Is peanut butter allowed to be eaten in the intro stage of the atkins diet?? Are these cookies allowed in intro stage?? hehe. What is Splenda? Where do i find it?
thnx

Peanut butter is not allowed during induction. Here is the list of acceptable foods that I found on the Atkin's website. Splenda is an artificial sweetener that most grocery stores now carry in the spoonable form (similar to real sugar) or can be purchased in packet form. A lot of health food stores also carry it. I have recently seen it at my local Costco.

These cookies are WONDERFUL.. I usually chill mine before rolling them into balls to make them less messy, but I must admit, they are so good, I've often caught myself sneaking into the freezer for a few spoonfuls and sometimes don't have much left when it's time to bake them...

Is there a way to subsitute the bulk splenda for packets of splenda? 1/2 cup = how many packets?

1/2 cup bulk splenda = 12 packets of splenda

Here is a link to a very useful chart previously posted on this forum:

Keep a large glass of water around when you eat them.
