Total Calories: 155

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups unbleached flour, white, sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, double-acting
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup margarine, diet
1/4 cup brown sugar or fructose
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, natural (no added sugar or hydrogenated oils)
1 teaspoon orange zest, fresh
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg, well beaten
1/3 cup orange juice, unsweetened
4 packets artificial sweetener (equal to 8 teaspoons sugar)

Directions:

These cookies contain only ½ teaspoon of sugar per cookie, and my boys love them.

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
2. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cream together margarine, sugar, peanut butter, orange zest, and vanilla. Add egg, orange juice, and sweetener blend well.
4. Add dry ingredients gradually mix well after each addition.
5. Measure 1 level tablespoon dough for each cookie. Roll between hands to form ball. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet flatten with a fork. Bake about 15 minutes. Store cookies in a tightly covered tin. These cookies have better flavor and texture 24 hours after baking.
