Episode: Healthy Cooking


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.

Try this recipe. they turn out a little moist, but are really good.

1 cup sugar (you can cut this down to 3/4 cup, if you prefer)
1 large egg
1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
Combine sugar and egg in mixing bowl, stirring till smooth. Add peanut butter and mix in thoroughly. Roll into walnut-sized balls. Place the balls on ungreased cookie sheets at least 2" apart. Flatten with the tines of a fork. Turn 90 degrees and use fork again to create cross hatches. Bake 10 minutes at 375F (or till done). Let cool in pan for 1 minute before removing to cooling rack.

Answer 4

I've never run across one, but you will notice that the recipes always require a minimal amount of margarin/butter. Why not try using all peanut butter without the margarine? It should work just fine. Godloveya.
