Peanut Butter Cookies homemade with Splenda


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Splenda white sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed Splenda brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (I added another heaping spoonful of PB. ;-) )
  • 1 egg
  • 1 & 1/4 cup flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

Beat the butter until creamy, 2 minutes. Add the sugars, beat for 2 more minutes. Mix in the peanut butter and egg. Mix together the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the sugar butter mixture.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with a fork. Bake until light brown, 9 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for a minute; transfer to rack to cool completely.
For chewier cookies, bake at 300°F for 15 minutes.

* If you want to use regular sugars, it would be the same measurements as listed above.  
* I spray a fork with a little bit of oil spray before I make the crisscross pattern.  Seems to help a lot.
   Or you could put the dough, wrapped in plastic, in the fridge for a few hours before baking.

Thats It!!!  They are so good.  I dont taste any difference with using the sugar substitutes either.  
ENJOY !
