Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup no added sugar peanut butter (contains 2 grams sugar per 2 tablespoons)
- 1 cup Splenda Granulated Sweetener
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the peanut butter, Splenda sweetener, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to form a smooth dough. Then chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to help it firm up.
- Form Dough Balls: Scoop tablespoons of chilled dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart. Use a fork to gently press down each dough ball and create a crosshatch pattern on top.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. If using a dark cookie sheet, start checking at the 8-minute mark to avoid burning.
- Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring or serving.
Notes
- Using no added sugar peanut butter keeps the sugar content low, but there is still a small amount of natural sugar.
- Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape better when baking.
- Adjust baking time slightly if using different cookie sheets or ovens to prevent overbaking.
- These cookies are soft and chewy; do not overbake to maintain this texture.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
