(but the pictures are from the cookies i made!) Ingredients: 1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy 1 1/3 cups baking sugar replacement (recommended: Splenda) 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract How To Prepare: 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. Number of Servings: Yield: 18 cookies Preparation Time: Prep Time: 15 minutes Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy lala MAJOR LCF POSTER!   Posts: 1,061 Registered: March 2005 Location: SALINAS, CALIFAS see this user's products

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Quick, easy and few ingredients Cons: None! OMG! It tastes and feels like a real cookie! My kids LOVE 'em, so I don't have to worry about portion control. They'll eat them before I have a chance to eat too many! They are a bit fragile, so be careful when you bite into them. Yummmmm!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): so close to the real thing Cons: none! These are so good! I can't believe they're basically good for you (lots of protein). I would have never guessed you could make cookies without any kind of flour.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 0    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: I wanted to add I made these tonight with the new Splenda quick packets as they are equivalent to 1 cup of sugar and only 3.3 carbs per pack. I love these cookies and really wanted to lower the carb count! I also only used 1 tsp of splenda to shake on top of the cookies.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Delicious and EASY Cons: Nothing These cookies are so good that my 8 year old asks for them by name. 4 ingredients and easy easy easy.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 0    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Delicous & simple Cons: Beware: They are TOO good! This recipe is amazing - the only trouble is that it's hard to resist eating the cookie dough! It's absolutely delicious! So, I think this is the last batch I'll be making. Even being low carb, they are still too dangerous to have around!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Four ingredients and awesome texture Cons: Very good texture, just like the "real" thing. My BF said "These aren't low carb". They do not spread out when baking, so flatten them and don't worry about putting them close together. I froze half of them to keep them "out of sight". My calculations put one cookie at 3.5g of Carb (18 cookies)-24g in 1C splenda and 40g in 1C peanut butter. Will make again.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Easy,quick, few ingredients Cons: Easy to eat to many These were really good and easy to make. I broke down the counts and this is what I came up with for ONE cookie : 94 calories, 7.4 fat grams and 3.2 carbs I ended up eating 7 !!! So these really add up if you over indulge - be careful. I probably won't make more until I'm at maintenence.
jemmi Senior LCF Member Registered: April 2007 Posts: 709	Review Date: Thu July 26, 2007 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Delightful! Reminded me of those made with flour Cons: None that I can think of. I took what others had said they tried, and so I made this recipe, adding 1 extra egg, and 1 Tablespoon of butter as well. I baked them longer than the 12 minutes, as I like crispy, crunchy cookies better than soft ones. I didn't make the criss-cross marks with a fork, rather, I just put a heaping Tablespoon of dough on some non-stick aluminum foil. I can take a picture of them, but I don't know how to post that pic in here. I will say they look, feel, and taste very much like a cookie made with flour, except these are a bit lighter in weight/texture. It's just great for when you want a little dessert!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 7    Positive aspects of the product (pros): easy, quick, yum Cons: none These are super easy. I only bake a few at a time using 2 tbs of crunchy peanut butter, 4 packets of splenda, 1 tbs of egg sub, and 1/4 tsp vanilla. This yields 3 perfect cookies. So tasty and I'm not tempted to eat more than I make. Only 20 minutes from start to tummy. Thanks so much for this recipe !!!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 7    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Very easy to make Cons: crumbly, has that weird splenda taste I'm not much of a Splenda person, some diet beverages taste alright, so this recipe wasn't the oooh and ahhh I was hoping for. It could have been because my oven is whack, and doesn't heat evenly or consistently. But my cookies came out to be really rather dry and crumbly. It wasn't very sweet either. It was just okay. I'll eat them to satisfy my sweet tooth. Maybe I'll try them again next time my oven works properly.

Raini MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: July 2003 Location: island in the Sound Posts: 2299	Review Date: Sat December 19, 2009 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Maybe should have tried original recipe first... Cons: tried "tweaked" version; more like dog biscuits Too be fair, I tried the version with the coconut and flax and reduced the sweetener. The cookies that I ended up with would barely make a "5" in the ratings... not sweet enough, hard as a rock and resemble dog biscuits in taste and texture. (Yes, I did eat dog biscuits, on a dare, as a kid!) But I have tried the version above and remembered that they were okay, so I gave them a "9" in the official ratings.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Excellent Cookies!!! Cons: They do crumble easily These cookies taste SO GOOD!!!! They are also very easy to make!!!!! I kept them in the oven for 24 minutes instead of 12 and they didn't harden, they still were soft and crumbly. My father liked them too even though he doesn't follow the low carb eating plan but I will be making them for the both of us. I put them in the freezer to harden them. BUT THEY ARE DELICIOUS!!!!!!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): easy Cons: I liked the idea of just making 3 of the cookies to be sure I liked them. I did. So I made another batch tonight and couldn't find my peanut butter so I used Cashew butter instead. Yummy.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): VERY easy to make Cons: none These cookies are amazing. I was craving peanut butter cookies tonight and these hit the spot. I made my cookies a little bigger than recommended...I was able to get 11 decent sized cookies from the recipe. I made them as drop cookies and just smooshed the centers down flat. I did not add the extra splenda on the top. The cookies have a wonderful texture and are a little crumbly. They really hit the spot...I will be making these again soon. Even my 5 year old liked these cookies a lot!

No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 4    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Umm...they were ok? Cons: Very Crumbly, not very sweet, different texture. I made these, but I substituted almond butter for the peanut butter. I personally wasn't into them! They were very crumbly and not sweet...The texture to me was dry, not moist and chewy like a "normal" peanut butter cookie.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Easy and simple! Cons: A bit too crumbly. I used 1/3 cup of Stevia Extract (the bottle says 1/3 tsp equals 1 tsp of sugar) since I ran out of Splenda. The cookies were nice, just a bit too crumbly. The Stevia left an after taste that I don't care for. Will definitely make again using Splenda.
