Diabetic Cookies

My family is full of diabetics who LOVE cake and cookies and since I am the closest thing they have to a baker in the family I had to come up with some way to satisfy their sweet tooth, so here is a good recipe for peanut butter and chocolate diabetic cookies.

 Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter

2/3 cup Splenda granulated sugar 

1/4 cup dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 eggs

3 cups flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup creamy peanut butter

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped

 

Directions:

 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F
2. Place butter, splenda, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl.
3. Mix on medium speed until well blended.
4. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well.
6. Add peanut butter and chocolate. Mix until blended.
7. Roll cookie dough into 48 balls (1 tbsp dough per ball). Place balls on an ungreased cookie sheet.
8. Dip a fork in water and press a criss-cross pattern into the top of each cookie.
9. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes. ( 8 minutes for softer cookies)
