This girl loved peanut butter so much that she would eat it at every meal. While that may seem like peanut butter overkill to some of us, it was a way of life for her. She really loved her peanut butter more than any of us could probably imagine.
There really are a lot of great recipes that we can use our peanut butter for.

About the product
Proudly made in the USA using only USA grown peanuts
Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan Friendly
No preservatives or sugars added. One more thing: Oil separation occurs naturally in our peanut butter. Although you don’t need to refrigerate Teddie, to slow the oil separation just stir the jar contents, tighten the cap and then place it in the refrigerator.
Family owned and operated since 1925
Teddie is a true Natural peanut butter, NOT a peanut butter “spread”
You also need to use a sugar alternative.
Because the sugar alternative in this recipe is the one dry ingredient that you will use, I suggest not using a liquid sugar alternative. For best results, use a sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar.
My preference for a sugar alternative in this recipe would be Splenda.
That is because texture and consistency could be dependent on the quantity of ingredients that we add to this as there are only three. However, you are welcome to use the sugar alternative of your choice. As a result, you may not achieve the same texture although your cookie may still taste good.
I really like the ease of making this cookie recipe.
Having just three ingredients makes this a great cookie. Also, when you use a fork to make the crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie, they sure to look like a regular peanut butter cookie.
