Better'n Peanut Butter Chocolate cookies
Have you ever heard of Better'n Peanut Butter? It's this crazy stuff made from defatted peanut flour and it has half the calories of regular PB and only 2 grams of fat per 2 Tbs serving! I know seriously, how do they do that!?
I read about this stuff a long time ago and wanted to give it a try (it can be hard to find, I got mine at Trader Joe's). It definitely doesn't taste exactly like PB. It has a PB-y flavor to it, but something is a little off. John can eat it straight up no problem, not me, I tend to like it baked or mixed in with things. Hence the cookies I made :)
These are basically a low calorie/ low fat cookie to fulfill your PB and chocolate cravings :) John and I both give them a thumbs up for sure :)
Better'n Peanut Butter Chocolate cookies
(I was just experimenting with these so this recipe only makes 12 cookies, next time I'll double the recipe)
1 egg
1/2 cup splenda granulated (or 1/2 cup white sugar)
1 Tbs brown sugar
1/2 cup Better'n Peanut Butter
2 Tbs cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
Beat eggs, sugar, and peanut butter in a bowl until combined. Stir in flour cocoa, and baking powder. (FYI, the dough is really thick and sticky) Drop heaping Tbs of dough onto a silicon baking mat, press cookies a little flat. Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes.
Chow!
