" Amazing NO FLOUR Peanut Butter Cookies "

One of our readers asked if we had any substitutes

for flour as they were allergic to all types of

flour.

I didn't have a substitute for the reader, but I

remembered a cookie recipe that does not have any

flour in it at all. It is super easy to make and

has only three ingredients. The original recipe

was made with sugar, but I have substituted

Splenda.***

The calories are about half the calories of the

ones made with sugar. Please read all the

instructions before making them.

Amazing NO FLOUR Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)

1 large egg (or 1.7 ounces egg substitute)

1 cup of Splenda***

Combine the peanut butter, Splenda*** and egg. Mix

until smooth. Roll into about walnut-sized balls.

Place the balls at least 2 inches apart on an

ungreased cookie sheet or line a baking sheet with

parchment paper. Flatten with the tines of a

fork. Turn 90 degrees and use fork again to create

cross hatches on the cookies. You can use a little

of the Splenda on your fork to keep it from

sticking.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bake for about 6 or 8 minutes. Do not over bake!

These cookies are best when they are still soft

and just barely brown on the bottoms. Also, you

can sprinkle a little Splenda*** on the cookies

while still warm to give the " powdered sugar "

effect.

This does not make but one batch of cookies.

Probably very good for " Cookie Monsters " like

myself. The amount of cookies you make will depend

on the size of the ball you make. I made them a

little smaller than the walnut and got a dozen

cookies.

These cookies are something you can make to take

to covered dish suppers or to a friend or family

member's party.

*** Before you write me about using artificial

sweeteners, please note... I realize there are

conflicting views on using them. The choice is

yours and your doctor as whether to use them or not.

When I was teaching home management which includes cooking, this is the

recipe I used for teaching and it works wonders.
