easy peanut butter cookies recipe?

[antoy]

does anyone have the WW easy peanut butter cookies recipe? my group leader had it posted @ the meeting last night, but she wrote "T" for many things ... and I couldn't catch her to see if she meant teaspoon or tablespoon ... http://www.healthdiscovery.net/ubb/eek.gif

they're only 1 point each -- i'm dying to make them!

Tried these, YUMMY!! I substituted the 1/4 c. sugar with splenda and also the 3 TBS. I got 42 cookies 1-tsp. each, and then after they baked I put a Hershey Kiss on top. Each one came out to 1.3 points, but I rounded it to 1.5. Great recipe! Thanks http://www.healthdiscovery.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

I've been looking for a Peanut Butter cookie - but I thought I'd try and shave a few points off this one -- I'll let you know if it works!

Sub in applesauce for the 12 points worth of oil
Sub in egg sub for the 2 points worth of whole egg
Sub in 4 pts (2/3 cup) whole grain flour for the 6 points of white
I don't know if I want to take it as far as to sub in fake sugar for the real macoy -- I don't like the chem taste, or the potentials.
But I figure that would shave 15 points off the total of 48, take it down to 33, if I can either make them bigger for the 1 point - or smaller and have them 1/2 point each -- perhaps I have too much time on my hands, eh?

Thanks pam for the points-minimizing tips!
I'm just starting out in the world of baking, and i'm always trying to get as much "bang for my (point)buck". I'm gonna try your changes to the recipe the next time i bake cookies.

Hi Pam...or anyone who has tried this recipe with the substitutions graemlins/wave.gif

How did they come out? I'm desperate for Holiday Cookie recipes & these sounded great. I did not point the original recipe but thought 1 pt sounded low; what with the egg, oil, brown sugar, peanut butter...everything! :confused:

I've had very good luck substituting with Splenda, but what about the brown sugar? Have been unable to find "lite" variety. Also considering going 1/2 & 1/2 on the flour.

Would sure appreciate hints from anyone who has "fiddled" with this recipe! :D

...also feel free to add any other good low point cookie recipes you have up your sleeves, teehee :eek:

Good - morning everyone, Holiday cookies my downfall graemlins/ugh.gif 1 cookie is never enough as fall as homemade holiday cookies go even if they are 1 pt. so like some of you I will try to tweak this recipe a little to maybe cut the pt. down a little bit, maybe use egg whites, applesause or less oil maybe be able to have two of these. tongue.gif

Thanks for sharing the recipe

I tried these last night, with egg whites, 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour and applesauce. They took much longer to bake than seven minutes, and the dough consistancy was wetter than normal, but they tasted good (just made it hard to roll). I would add 1/2tsp salt next time.
