Something Magical

Got your attention didn't I?? :) Yes, you read that correctly. Something Magical. I'm sure your wondering what it could be. Well that something magical is...Magical Peanut Butter Cookies! These magical cookies are easy to make and taste great! I wish I could say I came up with the recipe but I didn't. Another wonderful chef(in my opinion) is the one that came up with these Magical Peanut Butter Cookies. Let me give you a hint: She LOVES and I mean LOVES to cook with butter. Hmmm...you can think about who it is and I will tell you later. Sorry no prizes to give out just a magical recipe. 

Magical Peanut Butter Cookies:

1 Cup Peanut Butter, creamy or crunchy
1 Cup Splenda Baking Blend
1 Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Optional: Splenda to coat your fork with and to dust cookies

Preheat oven to 350. Grease or foil a large baking sheet.

In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and Splenda. Mix together with a fork. Add the egg and vanilla, stir well. Spoon or roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts(or your desired size). Place the balls on the baking sheet. With a fork, dipped in Splenda(prevents sticking), press a crisscross design on each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes, remove from the oven, and sprinkle with Splenda. Cool slightly before removing from the pan. Makes about 18 cookies.

Note: I used natural crunchy PB and it worked just fine. I used the full cup of Splenda and it was too sweet. Next time I'm going to try just 1/2 cup of the Splenda. Also I didn't dust the cookies when they came out of the oven. I'm glad I didn't since I thought they were a little too sweet tasting.

These cookies would go great with a glass of milk. I hope you enjoy them! In case you didn't know, these are from Paula Deen.
