Absolutely Easy Magic Peanut Butter Cookies!
Now in all fairness, the Queen of White Southern Cookin' isn't the first person to use this recipe; but my she sure does it all so well. Funny what men like about cooking. Anywhooo....
Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
1 cup sugar, or 1 1/3 cup sugar replacement (recommended: Splenda)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a large baking sheet. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, 1 cup equivalent of the Splenda, 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 Splenda 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 Splenda. Cool slightly before removing from pan.
