Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 http://www.allhomemadecookies.com/recipes/healthy/lowfatpeanutbuttercookie.htmThe recipe is listed below. I noted my modifications: To make this yummy treat, you will need the following ingredients: 1 can (14 oz.) low fat sweetened condensed milk (I used non-fat) 3/4 cup reduced fat peanut butter (I used Smart Balance) 1/4 cup fat free egg substitute 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 1/4 cup reduced fat biscuit mix (I used Bisquick non-fat heart smart) 1/4 cup sugar Directions: Mix the milk, peanut butter, egg substitute and vanilla with a mixer on a low setting until smooth. Add the biscuit mix and blend well. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours. Preheat your oven to 350. Drop the dough by teaspoonful 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet coated with nonstick spray. Sprinkle with sugar and bake the cookies until lightly browned about 6-8 minutes. (it takes a little bit longer with modifications as above - watch closely after 10 minutes) Hope you enjoy these yummy cookies!Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Check the label to see how much fat is listed for the contents (request this info from store for bulk items) and subtract the amount you pour off. It will be a conservative estimate because some will be lost through spilling and adherence to sides of the measuring tools. I haven't measured, let me know if it is a significant amount.

They look yummy. For those who are being careful about fat, the chocolate chips do have cocoa butter and lecithin in them. Serene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably not going to be anywhere near the amount I'd need to be able to eat it. According to my sources, one serving of peanut butter (one Tablespoon) has 8.68 grams of fat. For me to eat it, it has to have 2 grams of fat. One Tablespoon of peanut oil has 14.18 grams of fat so I'd have to be able to separate out about half a Tablespoon of oil from one Tablespoon of peanut butter and I've never seen anything approaching a 50% level of separation in a container of peanut butter. It was nice for a second to think about being able to eat peanut butter again. :-) It's not to be. Peanut butter -- even " low fat " peanut butter -- is not a low fat food. My sources list " low fat " peanut spread and say it has 14.8 grams of fat per ounce vs. 15.3 grams per ounce in peanut butter. I'd suspect " low fat " peanut spread would be much lower in fat if it were possible to separate out the oils any more. After all, the people who make the spread surely have industrial machinery and techniques not available in my home kitchen. Sparrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoting Dr. McDougall (in the Healthy Heart book): " Lecithin is a fat you may not recognize as such. Most lecithin is made from soybeans and is no more effective at lowering cholesterol in teh blood than is any other similar vegetable oil. " Quoting Wikipedia: " Cocoa butter, also called theobroma oil, is the pale-yellow, pure edible vegetable fat of the cacao bean. " So they're refined fats, yes. (Note that I'm not saying anyone shouldn't eat them if they want to, just pointing out they're there for those who want to limit fats.)

Mary McDougall (the doctor's wife, for those who don't know the McDougall plan) suggests doing this, too. It makes it lower in fat but it's still a high fat product.

A few weeks ago we were in a mall we hadn't been to in a decade and stopped in a gourmet food store to look around. In one section they had a load of extracts, and there on the shelf next to the vanilla and almond ones was a peanut extract. Maybe you can track it down on the Internet, now that you know it exists, and see if that might help you fill the peanut craving.

What would I mix it with to get that " stick to the roof of your mouth " texture that peanut butter has? (It's not a peanut craving, it's a peanut butter craving. Paradoxically, I have always rather disliked peanuts and always as a child refused to eat any dessert or snack bar that had peanuts in it . .. . but enjoyed peanut butter greatly.)

It wouldn't replace the peanut butter feeling (and I'm struggling to imagine in in a sandwich), but it does sound really tasty to put some peanut butter flavor in my oatmeal or breakfast grains! Yum!
