Magical Peanut Butter Cookies

These were a total hit! The only issue (not that it really was a problem) was that I made the cookies smaller than was intended; therefore I ended up with sixty cookies instead of eighteen. Honestly, I didn't think the ones I made were too small, but they would have been better if they were thicker. Regardless, they were delicious!

Here is the recipe, curtesy of the foodnetwork.com:

Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
1 1/3 cups baking sugar replacement (recommended: Splenda)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet.

In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, 1 cup sugar replacement, the egg, and vanilla, and stir well with a spoon. Roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. With a fork, dipped in sugar replacement to prevent sticking, press a crisscross design on each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes, remove from the oven, and sprinkle the cookies with some of the remaining sugar replacement. Cool slightly before removing from pan.
