Now, I am not going to say these are "healthy" by any stretch of the imagination, but what I can tell you is that these cookies baked to approx. 128 calories per cookie. Being flourless, not only is it a wonderful cookie solution for my gluten free followers, but reducing refined flour isnt always a bad thing! The good thing about these cookies is there is healthy proteins & fiber! *Dont forget to read your labels too - I chose Jif Natural for these cookies, which contain lower sodium than other brands - 65mg per 2tbsp!)
To make, in a large bowl mix together:
1 large egg
3/4cup granulated sugar
1/4cup packed brown sugar
1/2tsp vanilla
1cup peanut butter *i used crunchy*
Preheat oven to 350*
On baking sheet lined with either parchment paper or aluminum foil, make 1inch balls of dough and spread out - i was able to fit 9 per baking sheet (rows of 3) **recipe makes 18**
In a small bowl or cup, mix together a little brown sugar and granulated sugar, take a fork and dip it into the sugar mix and then lightly press down on each ball in a criss-cross. (re-dip your fork for each cookie)
Bake for 10 minutes *NO MORE NO LESS - TRUST ME* they may not look "baked" and it may be hard to see the browning process, but it can burn rather quick
Cool on rack for 3-5 mins still on cookie sheet then transfer directly to the rack.
My husband is eager to enjoy these later with a glass of milk!
Again, I am not saying they are healthy, I just thought Id share! Especially if you are looking to make your spouse smile! =)
