I am a huge fan of Paula Deen and watch her all the time on the Food Network. However, her recipes are so packed with butter and other bad stuff that I rarely make any of them or when I do I have to alter them dramatically. I saw this over the weekend though, and it is SBD-friendly. Haven't tried them yet, but I plan to!
Magical Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe courtesy Paula Deen
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Yield: 18 cookies
1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
1 1/3 cups baking sugar replacement (recommended: Splenda)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
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.

I actually saw a very similar recipe on this site when I was searching for peanut butter (the one thing I'd take with me if I were on a deserted island LOL!). The only difference was the recipe called for equal amounts of PB and Splenda (1 cup). I made the cookies - made sure it worked out to 16 cookies to each one had 1 T. of PB, so I counted each one as 1/2 of my nut serving for the day. They were delicious - but I had to bake mine a few minutes longer than suggested. And it's VERY important to remember to mash them, because they won't flatten on their own and they are very crumbly if you try to reach in the oven and smash them with a fork after they've already started baking. :>

Hi,
Welcome!
I hate to say it, but I tried the recipe and the cookies made the house smell great but tasted like peanut butte rolled in nutrasweet...yuk! I'm really glad many of you enjoy it though...maybe I am just too picky. I ended up eating too much peanut butter though :(
