Cookie recipe For Diabetics - Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies
I all the time tell people that being diagnosed as diabetic didn't take away my desire for sweets. You see, we diabetics enjoy having "sweets", too. Here is a recipe that is favorable for diabetics to enjoy as sweetmeat or when they crave a "sweet" snack. The Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies are tasty and easy. And peanut butter is good for diabetics. Your local grocery store should have the sugar-free chocolate chips along side the quarterly ones. I buy Hershey's Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips at my Walmart Store.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies
Easy Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
pinch salt
1 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
On a large sheet of waxed paper integrate the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, and salt; stir together with a fork. In a bowl, mix together the peanut butter, Splenda Brown Sugar Blend, and eggs; stir vigorously until creamy. Add the milk and vanilla. Stir until smooth; add the flour mixture, stirring until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan; pat down smooth. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until very lightly browned at the edges. Do not over bake; or your bars will be too dry. Remove from oven and let cool 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into bars.
Enjoy!
