Ingredients

1 cup smooth peanut butter (select natural or a brand with the lowest sugar grams) or crunchy, if you want even more of a peanut crunch

1/2 cup Splenda (plus 3 teaspoons +/-)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 teaspoon Vanilla extract

1 large egg

1 cup crushed, unsalted peanuts

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray non-stick cookie sheet with Pam.

Chop peanuts (preferably unsalted). Set aside.

Cream together (by hand with spatula) peanut butter , egg and vanilla. Add in Splenda, cinnamon and crushed peanuts.

Directions

Bake on center rack at 350 degrees 12 - 15 minutes.
Yield: approx. 8 3"-4" cookies

Place mounds of dough onto cookie sheet, keeping approx. 3 to 4 inches between each mound. If you are using your hands, coat them with Splenda --- the dough can be sticky.
With a fork dipped in Splenda, flatten the mounds with a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Carefully remove cookies from baking sheet (they may be a little crumbly) onto a cooling rack. Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with a very light dusting of Splenda. (Looks like powdered sugar without the calories & carbs!)
