I make this same recipe but I call them 1,2,3 peanut butter cookies as they have 3 ingredients, 1 C. sugar, 1 C. PB, 1 egg. I do not use baking soda.

Brown sugar makes them more chewy, white sugar makes them more crisp, and splenda makes them crumble. - 9/3/10

I saw this recipe on Paula Deen's show except hers used Splenda and 1 tsp vanilla instead of baking soda so it is okay for diabetics. My mother (diabetic) loves them. - 1/24/08

Very easy and tasty! I'm always looking for natural healthy wheat-free recipies. Make sure you let the cookies cool before you try to move them. When they're warm they crumble. - 3/29/08

I've been making these for a few weeks now. I have never put baking soda in them though. Just the PB, sugar and 1 egg. Def take them out a little early cuz they are nasty if over cooked. My toddler love them and is allergic to diary. She actually helps me make these. - 9/18/08

Easy to make and they taste good too! A little more on the crumbly side than regular PB cookies, but well worth it to have a homemade cookie that my son can eat! - 2/6/08

This recipe is great! My cookies turned out just perfect. I didn't have the problem with the crumbling. I baked them 10 minutes then I left them on the cookie sheet a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
This is definitely something I will make again. Perfect for a sweet tooth. - 2/22/10

I don't use sugar anymore since I am diabetic. I substituted Pyure or Stevia in the raw. I reduce the peanut butter to half and replaced other half with apple butter low sugar. I will let you know how it turned out. I also put some spices in like cinnamon since that helps with my disease. - 6/1/20

Was looking for an easy cookie recipe and this fit. Only change I made was the addition of vanilla extract. Also, mine baked to perfection in 8/9 min, but ovens can vary. I subtracted a star because I think they're too sweet, but of course that is a personal taste preference. - 8/28/16
