I came home to a real treat today. One thing I really miss since I have been on this diet is cookies. Particularly peanut butter cookies which are my favorite. Well my wife has come up with a recipe that I can eat and it is so yummy I just had to share it with all of you:
1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1 cup splenda
1 egg.
Melt peanut butter in the microwave (about 30-45 seconds). Combine with splenda and egg. Form into one inch balls and place on a cookie sheet. Slightly flatten the balls with a fork. Bake about 15 - 20 minutes at 350.
This one will even impress mister Johnka!

You'll have to let us know how the cookies go with Fresca Vodkas. |

Great recipe. I made them last night, awesome, they taste just like my mom's used to (except she put sugar on the top, and that's not happening in my kitchen!). Thanks JP, good stuff!

I'm working on a muffin recipe which is pretty much the above with ground oats. The Macro is about 34/33/33 and they're pretty darn good. Just tweaking it still.
Will try the cookies!

These are definitely going on my 'to try' list.
They are definitely beautiful in their simplicity. There is nothing worse than having to spend hours mixing together hundreds of ingredients. Props to Erika!

I'll have to try this one. I've been looking for a healthier version of a cookie recipe for quiet sometime. Thanks for sharing JP.

JP, these are delicious (and potentially addictive!). Thanks for sharing.
(mqgeek, I got an even dozen out of the recipe).

These cookies are pretty good, may have to eat all of them... So much for Adam's Diet! Only thing, I need a couple cups of water per cookie, so that'll help stop me for eating them all. [img]tongue.gif[/img] |

mqgeek, why do you say "so much for Adam's diet"? The very reason I posted this recipe is that it fits perfectly with his recommendations. Eat up, brother!

I wonder how they would taste with a little chocolate protein powder mixed in? Drier for sure, but [img]smile.gif[/img]

I ate all the cookies which would be like 1700+ cals and 50+ carbs... That's why I said so much for Adam's diet!  |

My cookies came out pretty crumbly too... When I grabbed one it fell apart, is there any way to make them harder?

JP, wouldn't the Splenda conflict with Adam's Diet?
I know Splenda doesn't have much of an impact in small amounts, but if using a large amount (such as a cup), doesn't it conflict with the diet?
Because if it doesn't, I'm making myself a batch tomorrow.

Johnka, exactly why I like the recipe, simple.
My first batch was great and did not crumble very much. I pulled them from the oven before they looked done.

So less time in the oven = less crumbly? I would of thought it would be the other way around...  |

These were pretty good!
I wanted to experiment to see if I could up the protein a bit...
I made three "base" doughs and put it into 3 bowls.
Batch 1 I make one in the normal fashion.
Batch 2 I added 1 more egg and 3 tablespoons of vital wheat gluten flour. I let it "rest" for 20 minutes so that the gluten had a chance to absorb some moisture before rolling it.
Batch 3 I added more 1 more egg and 6 tablespoons of vital wheat gluten flour. I let it "rest" for 20 minutes so that the gluten had a chance to absorb some moisture before rolling it.
I tried to make all cookies about the same size for a better taste comparison. Because of the extra stuff, I was able to get 36 cookies out of batches 2 and 3, while batch 30 made 30 cookies.
At 350 degrees, all took about 15 minutes to cook to the best consistency in my oven. I tried some a little shorter and some longer, but 15 minutes kept them cooked yet not crumbly.
Batch 1 is decadent and hard to keep away from. They are almost like a candy!
Batch 3 tastes the most like a traditional peanut butter cookie. I might even press a couple of peanut halves into the top next time.
Batch 2, obviously is somewhere in between. It holds together a little better than the original, but doesn't really have the better qualities of either of the other ones.
I'll let my family taste them all later, to see what normal humans think of them.
Now, I've got to put them away before I eat even more of them and they become the lunch I should have had...

Forgot. Feel free to check the math, but here's the nutrition info.
Batch 1: Original PB Cookie
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup granulated Splenda
1 whole egg
Per cookie (1 of 30), 56 Calories, 2.7 Carb, 4.7g Fat, 2.1g Protein.
Batch 3: Original Extra Protien PB Cookie
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup granulated Splenda
2 whole eggs
6 tablespoons vital wheat gluten flour
Per cookie (1 of 36), 55 Calories, 2.5 Carb, 4.1g Fat, 2.9g Protein.
They aren't really significantly different, nutritionally, I know. I'd like to put in more gluten, but I'm afraid that they might be too cakey and dry.
