K. and I were sufficiently wore out yesterday that we declared a Friday Afternoon Moratorium on all work, and I got down to baking us some cookies.
This is an awesome low-sugar recipe that even our sugar-eating friends seem to like. It originally came from the Splenda website, and has been through some mods by us. Hope you like!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Mix all of these together in a bowl.
Then cream together:
1 stick unsalted butter (unsalted is very important)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup Splenda
1/4 cup brown sugar
Then beat in:
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Chop up two bars of sugar-free chocolate. I use this kind, dark chocolate, in the 80 gram size. I should point out that, in my local market anyway, these bad-boys are three bucks apiece. Making this a special occasion cookie, to be sure.
Anyway, stir the chocolate into the batter. Drop it by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and bake at 375 degrees for 10-11 minutes.
Be sure and sit down with a cup of tea and some warm-from-the-oven cookies, and watch a fat little squirrel load up on free food from the bird-feeder on your deck. Revel in the fact of Friday Afternoon . . . especially given the other fact, which is that you’ll be working all weekend. Mmmmmmmmmmm . . . cookies.

Ooo, that looks tasty. I periodically turn my coworkers at my lab into lab rats, as it were, and bring in my baked goods experiments for them to eat so that I don’t eat them all myself. I’ll have to try this one!

I know, right?!?! Hello, Self-Employment! Sometimes, there is no difference between Wednesday and Saturday. I had to laugh because I did the same thing, except I made these low sugar granola thingies. Cheers!
