Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

[Oh.2.B.Fit]

I got this recipe from Amy too
She said it was from the South Beach Diet Cookbook.
These are YUMMY so be careful eating them
One thing I would change is wait to put the jelly in the cookies till AFTER you bake the cookies. I change it in the recipe too. They say to bake it with the jelyy in it, but it just runs out of the cookie and you can't taste the jelly at all if you do it that way

Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

• Sweetzfree OR 3/4 c Splenda
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 c creamy peanut butter
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 c Walden Farms Sugar Free/Calorie Free Jelly

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with PAM or line with parchment paper. Mix Splenda, egg, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on low until blended (2-3 minutes). Add peanut butter and baking soda. Mix until it forms a dough (for me, it was about 30 seconds to 1 minute). With a spoon, scoop out a spoonful of dough and form into a ball. Place on baking sheet about 1 inch apart. You should have 24 balls when you are done. Press your thumb into the center of each ball to make a well. Bake 12-14 minutes and then cool. Fill each well with a little bit of jelly. ENJOY!!!

I fixed these today..and they are pretty good.. 2 fills me... Did you use Natural peanut butter? I of course didn't get 24 cookies out of the batch.. This is something I will not be able to eat often.. But I had a birthday party to go to tonight and a BIG church picnic tomorrow where there will be a zillion desserts...
