Lower-Calorie Peanut Butter Cookies

Vegetarian Times Issue: May 1, 2005   p.87

30 minutes or fewer

 

These are very tender cookies, and they break easily, so handle carefully.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray, or line with baking parchment, and set aside.
  2. Mix peanut butter, apple juice, sweetener and vanilla until blended but not smooth. In second bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda, and fold into peanut butter mixture. Stir until thick. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons onto baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Use fork dipped in flour to make crisscross marks on top of each cookie.
  3. Bake 12 minutes, or until light brown. Remove from oven; cool on sheets.

These were amazing! Make sure to stir until thick-they were great! I wonder what it would taste like to use less than a cup of apple juice concentrate, and use a ripe mashed banana.
