answer to UNICORNDEB's question about using Splenda as substitute for sugar. The answer is YES! I wondered about that.I wanted a reduced calorie cookie. I tried it and it works. I added 1 Teaspoonful Vanilla extract to my mix and my husband says he likes them better than the original recipe! - 3/21/09

These are very yummy cookies! But DEFINITELY not teaspoon sized...makes a LOT more than 14!! I made them teaspoon sized and I made 40+ mini cookies! But they're nice little because if I have two its like I'm really having one. And my kids think they're getting more when they are really getting l - 4/18/09

I LOVE cookies and these ones were great! I made mine with the baking powder and vanilla extract. I also added oatmeal to half of the batter and it tasted great! The ones without the oatmeal were a bit soft, but its because I didn't use all the sugar. The oatmeal helped with that problem though. - 6/24/11

I tried these on my husband and he liked them. And he's pickier than any kid! They're easy to make & I added the vanilla as well for a little extra flavor.
The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it's not exactly healthy but atleast there is some protein and no flour so the lesser evil. - 3/15/09

I was excited to see I had these ingredients in my pantry as I was craving sweets like crazy! I used brown sugar & added a wee bit of vanilla (as suggested). I was able to get 24 cookies from this recipe and they cooked in 8 minutes!! They are delicious for flour-less & butter-less cookies!! - 10/23/10

I'm sorry - I've never used sugar substitutes for cooking/baking, so I don't know how well it'd work. If you *do* try using Splenda, maybe you want to try a much smaller batch? Like a quarter of the recipe? (Beat the egg separately, and use a 1/4 of the beaten egg - use the rest in an omelet?)

I WAS skeptical but made these anyway. I used the suggested vanilla and b/p additions the pb I had was low sugar and low sodium so I left the sugar at 1 C. I made them with my Daycare and they were a big hit! Making them AND eating them I call these Amazing PB cookies! :-) I got 36 to the recipe. - 12/8/09

Does this hold it's shape after baking? I would like to use this in a sugar-mould set that I no longer use (for sugar!) Very cute shapes and would do the portion control perfectly. Also going to try to substitute sunflower nut butter since peanut butter often gives me migraines. - 3/30/09
Reply from BIGGIRL2082010 (3/31/09)
The cookies do hold their shape - if you use the amount regular sugar called for here and let them cool after baking. I don't know what would happen if you make substitutions. If reduced quantities of sugar (or a sugar substitute) are used, the cookies may turn out too moist to hold their shape.

My 12-year old daughter and I made these, I only used half the sugar and added the 1/4 tsp of baking powder, and 1 tsp of vanilla. For an added touch and an extra boost of protein we put a honey roasted almond right in the middle after we flattened and criss-crossed them. My whole family loved them. - 4/19/09

these sound great but Im afraid to eat them at 170 calories a cookie. I'm thinking this isnt the right place for this kind of recipe. High calorie/fat. Anyone agree? - 3/23/09
Reply from BIGGIRL2082010 (3/24/09)
They are definitely only a once-in-a-while treat for me. I agree, if I ate more than 2 of these, I'd totally blow my calorie allowance for the day! I actually typed in this recipe to get a more accurate calorie count! :)

I've used both sugar and Splenda for this. Normally don't have a problem w/ Splenda or its "aftertaste" but I did this time. Now we're tweaking the amount. Using a sugar substitute also changes the texture--more crumbley instead of soft and chewy. I'm going to try adding powdered milk next time. - 3/15/09
