Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies - That taste great and are low glycemic...

Sometimes people think I do not like sweets or treats, but this is not the case, I just believe we are being overwhelmed with sugar and high glycemic foods and that we are becoming very sick as a country, because of it. So, today I thought I would just send you a treat to bake with the kids and to enjoy. These are fine for Diabetics and people with Metabolic Syndrome.


Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

INGREDIENTS: For 6 servings...
1 cup peanut butter plain or crunchy
1 cup Splenda
1 slightly beaten large egg
1/8 Teas of Vanilla Ext.

DIRECTIONS:
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix peanut butter and sugar until creamy.
Beat egg & add to peanut butter mixture. Mix well.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet, 2" apart.
Dip a fork in Splenda and make a criss-cross pattern on the cookies.
Bake until slightly browned, but still soft to the touch, about 10 minutes.
Don't over cook or they will be crumbly.
Let cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes.
Transfer to wire rack until cooled.

Enjoy...
