These were so good I'm ready to cry. I will definitely make them again. After reading the other reviews, I modified the recipe a bit. I used 3/4 c. Splenda brown sugar substitute, rather than the 1 c. recommended. I also ground up a handful of peanuts and threw them in. After being on Phase 1 for 9 days, I'm starting to realize that many of the foods I used to eat are way too sweet. I'm rating this recipe 4 stars because, although I reduced the Splenda, I thought they were a bit too sweet. Next time, I'll try 1/2 c. brown Splenda instead. Also, you didn't say what type of peanut butter to use (I used Smart Balance creamy.) But seriously, thank you so much for this recipe. You have no idea how much I enjoyed it.

I love this recipe for flourless cookies! I make one almost identical (the difference is the addition of 1 teaspoon of baking powder) to it frequently, as it's an easy and delish solution to making a cookie that both my sister (no dairy) and me (no gluten) can enjoy together.
I usually make them with real sugar, but both ways are still wonderful.
These DO tend to be fragile, though! Once or twice, I have made them without the baking power and they are even more apt to break apart
There are a few tricks to making these a little less crumbly:
1) Use full-fat peanut butter
2) refrigerate the dough for an hour or two
3) keep the cookies smallish- great for portion control (they're pretty rich, anyway) and for keeping them together
4) Bake on parchment and make sure they're COMPLETELY cool before removing

These are definatly a favorite in our house since my husband and I are on the SBD. We thought we were going to go crazy until we found this recipe! I love the fact that there are only 3 ingredients. I make a batch every few days or so just to keep the peace! Thank you!

Delicious! I also make a similar version with vanilla extract and ricotta cheese blended in. These aren't even close to being too sweet...I'm thinking maybe people used the splenda packets instead of granular/baking splenda? I like to keep these in the freezer and take out a couple at a time. They are very tasty while still slightly frozen.

Totally satisfied my sweet tooth! I can't stand eating ricotta for dessert anymore! I read the reviews about the cookies being too sweet but I forgot to use less when I was mixing the cookies. However, I used freshly ground peanut butter so the sugar wasn't that bad since the peanut butter wasn't sweetened. I think I would use a little less sugar next time, even with the freshly ground peanut butter.

This was Terrific! I only used 3/4 cups splenda and it still had a little after taste, not bad though. Next time I'll only use 1/2 cups splenda.

Excellent!! I needed something like this cookie for phase 1!
I was a little short on my natural peanut butter so i substituted with some ground flax seed and i used less splenda then it called for and i will even use less next time (just not too crazy for the splenda after taste) and i added a tsp of baking powder like suggested with some slivered almonds on top!!! thanks for the recipe!!

This was wonderful for South Beach! Based on reviews, I edited the recipe as follows:
-1 cup natural peanut butter -2/3 cup splenda -1 egg -1 tsp baking powder
These were so delicious and easy! My only criticism is that these cookies are quite dry, but they work wonderfully having one cookie with a glass of milk. Perfect!

Wow this is a great and the most simplistic cookie recipe ever! Thank you for this. I was nervous to try it at first but from all the reviews it seemed like a good idea to try out. I did use less splenda as others have suggested (about just under 1/2 cup) and with the Splenda Blend mix - sweetener and sugar. I also added 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1 tsp of baking soda.
Also on a few cookies I sprinkled cinnamon on top just before putting it in the oven and that turned out awesome! I'll try the brown sugar next time. Danke!

I don't even like peanut butter, but these are really good! I used a little less Splenda than suggested in the mix, but I probably made up for it dipping the fork in it to cross it. I'll definitely make these again, thanks!

Myself and significant other are on ketosis diets. His is a 'lifestyle' and mine is to drop weight quickly. I have been a vegetarian for years and the ketosis diet does not provide a variety of choices for me. Upon finding this recipe I made it for his family and everyone loved them. He was very pleased with them. I followed the original recipe. The cookies started off crumbly when hot and then harden a bit more once cooled. The recipe was a delight.

SUPER delicious. I followed the others advice and used WAY less splenda. It helped. I've been hooked on these whenever I skip the jello.

I was pretty disappointed after reading all these reviews. These were very crumbly and no where NEAR "too sweet" as some other reviewers stated. They were so dry that I feel like they are still stuck in my throat right now. I guess that kept me from eating a bunch of them.
I think these COULD be good - I just think they definitely need something more.
