almond- soy peanut butter cookies
I was trying to create a dessert that I could eat without guilt, & came up with this recipe. I did not make them real large to keep the calories & carb count to a minimum. These cookies literally melt in your mouth when you bite into them, & the best part is there is only 1 gram of sugar per cookie, & just 2 net carbs each, & each cookie is under a hundred calories. I did make one batch by drop teaspoon, but refrigerated the remaining batter, & prefer the smoother texture cookie after they have been rolled & pressed with a fork before baking. Both methods work dropped or chilled & rolled

How To Make almond- soy peanut butter cookies
-
Step 1These are the main flours for this recipe. Use room temperature ingredients for better results. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. -
Step 2Combine both flours with the salt, baking soda, & baking powder, & chopped peanuts in a medium size bowl, then whisk together to blend ingredients.
-
Step 3In a larger bowl add the softened butter, eggs, peanut butter, zero calorie sweetener and vanilla.
-
Step 4Beat until batter is creamy and smooth. You can drop by teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet, but I prefer to chill the batter at least 1/2 hour to 45 minutes or longer to firm up the dough.
-
Step 5Once dough is chilled, pull off enough dough and shape into a round ball about the size of 2 teaspoons. Place on greased cookie sheet, and press lightly with fork tines.NOTE: I PREFER TO USE AIR BAKE COOKIE SHEET PANS. Then Bake in preheated 350 F. degree oven for 12 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges.
