Tonya, You could do what I do.....dip your spoon in the peanut butter jar and then stick it straight in your mouth...... Clean up sure is easy with this one.

Here is a recipe of 'Magical peanut butter cookies' that my aunt does. She is a diabetic and this fits her diet while tasting great.....

I believe this is from Paula Deen on the food network. It yields around 18 cookies and the clean up is just a bit longer than my version. Here is the simple recipe.

1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
1 1/3 cups baking sugar replacement (recommended: Splenda)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet.

In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, 1 cup sugar replacement, the egg, and vanilla, and stir well with a spoon. Roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. With a fork, dipped in sugar replacement to prevent sticking, press a crisscross design on each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes, remove from the oven, and sprinkle the cookies with some of the remaining sugar replacement. Cool slightly before removing from pan.

Some days there is more laughter than others....Just depends on what/who you focus on....

I made the recipe I posted last night with Summer and it is REALLY good! and easy! I only baked them for about 8-10 minutes, tho....Doug couldn't believe there was no flour involved.

Cindy- I almost read your post WAY wrong!
