Snap-Quick Peanut Butter Cookies for Diabetics
Printer Friendly Page

Submitted by: Bocci

There's no sugar OR flour in these cookies. The peanut butter, Splenda and egg stiffen the dough, which also has vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg for flavor.

Ingredients
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 cup Splenda (sugar substitute)
1 egg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all of the ingredients. Using a small spoon, drop cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie. Press each ball of dough with a fork to flatten it into a cookie shape about 1/3 inch thick. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Notes: Baking time may vary upon oven. You can substitute almond or cashew butter, if you'd prefer (but peanut, I think tastes best). Number of Servings: about 1 dozen
