Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies
| Tue, 07-22-2003 - 9:22am |
Saw this recipe over on the Prevention site for SBD. I've made these cookies before and they are yummy. Never thought about using them on SBD.
Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies
Divide the number of cookies by the number of carbs in the peanut butter to get a count per cookie.
1 cup peanut butter (I use crunchy)
1 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1 egg
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a cookie sheet w/ cooking spray.
Mix the peanut butter, Splenda, and egg all together. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.(The original recipe says you get 20 half-dollar-sized cookies, but I usually get more like 12-14.)
Dip a fork in more Splenda and flatten the cookies crossways, like you do the usual peanut-butter cookie.
Bake 9-10 minutes.

Isn't counting carbs something you do on that stupid Atkin's diet?
Irene
There is no need to get unfriendly. The recipe was probably originally for low-carb dieters who do count carbs so the carb count per cookie would be important to them. Since SBD doesn't work that way, then you can just ignore it.
And it's not fair to criticize Atkins when you admit that you know nothing about carb counting (and I'll assume that means you do not know about the concept behind low-carb diets) which is perfectly fine but not fair to those who have had a lot of success with them.
What if someone posted on a Weight Watcher's board about "that stupid South Beach Diet"???

If you used 1 cup of peanut butter for your cookies; that would equal 48 (teaspooons). According to the book the servings of peanut butter for phase one, we are allowed
1 teaspoon per day. I think the cookies would have to be very small to make 48 out of the recipe and you could only have one per day to stick to WOE. Please let me know if this is incorrect. mramary

If nothing else, I'll make these for the kids and hopefully they will like them as a healthy replacement for other things.
