Peanut Butter Cookie Bites

Made with a touch of honey, these peanut butter cookies are packed with flavor, but not with sugar.

Recipe Ingredients:

1/4 cup margarine, softened
1 cup creamy style peanut butter
1/4 cup egg substitute
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup Splenda® Granulated No Calorie Sweetener
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Beat margarine and peanut butter in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy, approximately 1 minute.
3. Add egg substitute, honey and vanilla. Beat on high speed for approximately 1 1/2 minutes.
4. Add Splenda® Granulated Sweetener and beat on medium speed until well blended, approximately 30 seconds.
5. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small mixing bowl. Slowly add flour mixture to peanut butter mixture, beating on low speed until well-blended, about 1 1/2 minutes. Mixture may be crumbly.
6. Roll level tablespoons of dough into balls and drop onto a lightly oiled or parchment lined sheet pan, two inches apart. Flatten each ball with a fork, pressing a crisscross pattern into each cookie. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until light brown around the edges. Cool on wire rack.

Makes 24 cookies.
