Peanut Butter Cookies

This is another one Kaya found. Mind you, she is making 98% of all these recipes herself. I am around to make recommendations or help is she is stuck with something, but otherwise she is in the kitchen all by herself. She is 12 and an aspiring artistic chef.

These cookies are soft but yummy. Try baking them for an extra minute or two to make them a bit crispier.

1/2 cup sugarless/ natural chunky or smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup Splenda or Stevia
2 tbs agave nectar
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup chopped pecan, almonds, peanuts, or hazelnuts, if desired.
1/2 tsp baking powder
4 tbs almond flour or processed almond meal
1 tbs macadamia nut flour (optional - processed oatmeal works well too, or whole wheat flour, but this will change the carb count a bit)
2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375. Mix well all ingredients in order and drop onto greased cookie sheet by teaspoonfuls (you can also use parchment paper). Bake about 10 minutes (I recommend 11-12) or until set but not hard. Be careful not to burn!!  If making 10 cookies - 3.8 carbs per cookie.  If making 16 cookies, 2.4 carbs per cookie.

  1. We added a 1/4 cup of chopped chocolate chips to our most recent recipe and they were great! This christmas, we are going to make the PB cookies with the PB cup in the middle, and use sugar free PB cups! VICTORY!
