Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies



Every month, our dietician at work puts four new healthy recipes on the bulletin board for our patients to take home and try. This month, she outdid herself with this recipe for peanut butter cookies. These are great! Note: I don't have a nonstick baking sheet so I used a Silpat baking sheet liner.

Low Carbohydrate Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Preheat oven to 350 F
In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, and baking soda until well combined. Stir in peanuts.

Place dough by teaspoonfuls on a nonstick baking sheet.


Press down with a fork (dipped in water to prevent sticking) to form ridges.


Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Makes 30 cookies.
