TNT RecipesIf you have a yummy recipe that fits in with the Campbell and Voleck's new book, The TNT Diet, put it here. Or get some recipe ideas if you are bored with eating boiled eggs and tuna out of a can!
The ones I have are pretty soft (but not chewy - they hold together though), but then again I think I could have flattened them out a bit more for baking.

Sorry for asking a dumb question (i'm a baking newb) but will flattening them out make them more chewy?
It will probably do the opposite. Since the cookies will be thinner, they'll take less time to bake. I was just afraid of mine being underdone which which is why I was thinking about flattening them a bit more.

Lost Dog must have had Oompa Loompas helping make his cookies--I don't know how he got 30 out of the batter. I tried them tonight. My 4 year old rejected them--not a surprise they weren't shaped like Scooby Doo or Spongebob. I liked them--I put 2 in a bowl and put smooshed raspberries on top.
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.
I made a double batch of these, baked for 15 minutes.
SO good. The worst thing about these cookies is you can't stop eating them. They do crumble/break easily. "Oops, broken one. Guess I have to eat it. OOOPS another one...[/em nom nom nom]"
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.
