Peanut Butter Cookies - Phase 1

You're not imagining it - these cookies are great for the occasional treat in Phase 1!  This recipe is straight out of the SBD SuperCharged book, with one very important modification - no jelly!  Because there's no flour in this, it's also a great recipe for those looking for gluten-free sweets.

3/4 c granular sugar substitute
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 c creamy or chunky trans-fat free peanut butter
1 tsp baking soda

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

2.  Mix sugar substitute, egg and vanilla together with an electric mixer on low for 3 minutes.  Add peanut butter and baking soda.  Mix on medium until dough comes together, about 30 seconds.


3.  Form balls from dough (about 2 tsp size) and place on cookie sheets.  Press fork into the center of each cookie.

4.  Bake until lightly browned on the bottom, about 12 to 14 minutes.

Note:  For a phase 2 version, you can indent each cookie with your thumb and add 1/2 tsp of sugar free jam before baking.
