I love me some cookies. But my gestational diabetes has forced me to look for less-sugar-filled alternatives. To be honest, now that I am adapting to this lifestyle, I will likely keep cooking some of these recipes just for the benefit of my little family!

I have heard all sorts of rave about easy peanut butter cookies, and decided that since peanut butter is one of the best things I can have, I needed to try and whip some up! So one night after dinner, my sweet kitchen assistant and I did just that. 

I mean, how cute is she?! Okay so I will put the full recipe below. But since I am a visual person, here’s a little step-by-step for ya! After mixing to combine your ingredients, you will roll the dough into one-inch balls and place them on parchment paper lined baking sheets.

Use a fork to smash them down to about 1/4 inch thick, making a criss cross pattern. The dough is a little sticky, so you will probably need to wipe the fork every other cookie.

Bake them for about 12-13 minutes for a chewy cookie, or 15ish if you want them a bit more crunchy!

That’s it!! They are a little more powdery than your traditional peanut butter cookie, but my goodness they sure do satisfy the craving! Next time I am going to dip half in melted Lily’s chocolate! I’ll be sure and update when I do!

3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

  • Servings: about 20-24 cookies
  • Time: 30 mins
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Print

Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3-4 teaspoons Splenda (or other non-calorie sweetener of your choice!)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Combine all ingredients in the bowl of your mixer and mix until a soft dough forms. This may take a few minutes to accomplish, so don’t worry! 
  3. Roll into 1″ balls and place on your lined cookie sheet.
  4. Using a damp fork, press each ball down to about 1/4″ thick, in a criss-cross pattern.
  5. Bake for 12-13 minutes for a softer cookie, 15 or so if you prefer them a bit more crunchy!
  6. Allow to cool completely before removing from the baking sheet.

Without even noticing, the little piles of laundry Without even noticing, the little piles of laundry have grown into larger ones. The socks are less and less tiny. Footie sleepers switch over to two pieces. 

You are so proud of first words but suddenly you realize that you ache for that sweet baby babble, too. An ever-expanding vocabulary replaces those precious mis-phrases that signify just how little our babies are. 

Each new tooth is celebrated, but yet you miss that gummy smile. You are so proud of first steps, but yet you miss the reliance and safety of carrying them everywhere. 

You rejoice at the relief of self-soothing, but there is a tiny piece of your heart that misses rocking them to sleep. They start taking naps in their own cribs rather than snuggled on your chest. The glorious sleep-through-the-night happens, but in the corner of your mind, you would give anything for one more midnight cuddle. 

Nursing sessions drop and bottles are replaced by sippy cups. One day you hand them a whole chicken nugget, and without even realizing it, your baby grows up a little. You stop tediously cutting food into tiny pieces and think that you are glad that phase is over. Until the reality sets in that this thing doesn’t move in reverse. 

You start to check the Owlet less frequently. Then you don’t check it. And then one day you don’t put it on them at all. 

They begin to dress themselves. They read the books to you at bedtime. They brush their own teeth. You celebrate and encourage the independence, but at the same time you wish for just a few more days of being so very needed. 

The clutter makes you crazy, but one day there are less toys to pick up. Stuffed animals switch over to basketballs and televisions. Skinned knees turn into broken hearts. Cocomelon turns into Paw Patrol, and then one day they are watching the same shows as you. 

Slow down and take it in. These days will be over before you know it. And in the midst of feeling a little like you have lost yourself, realize that just maybe you have truly been found. #slowdowntime #allthefeels #motherhood #thisismotherhood #momblogger

While working my way through the first day of the While working my way through the first day of the "Preaching the Gospel to Yourself" study by the Daily Grace Co., I came across this quote. Well, I paraphrased it into my own words, but a truth very similar to this. Specifically in reference to Adam and Eve in this case. Their disobedience was more than just disobedience. It was an attempt to be god. 

As I read those words though, it really hit home for me personally. Failure to trust in God’s goodness, provision and authority is sin- plain and simple. Putting more stock in my own ability to figure things out, make things right, dictate the way things should go- more than my faith that my Father has it worked out- is sin. When I play god in my own life, I am glorifying myself and showing that I don’t truly trust and believe in His goodness. 

Total heart check on this icy, rainy morning. I may not have a carved idol sitting in my living room, but I have set up an idol in my own heart. We live in a go-getter culture. Any time spent browsing social media, we are flooded with self-empowerment quotes. Promises that we can do anything we set our minds to and we have all power and authority over the way our lives go. (Not that I don’t believe in the power of the human mind, setting goals, working hard, etc.), but this is such a dangerous culture. It sets us up for a “little god” complex. In all actuality, I cannot do it all. I have a need for Jesus. And this self-elevation is sin. 

Sin condemns me. Because of His nature and goodness, sin puts me at odds with God. The beauty here though, lies in salvation. From the very moment that Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, God promised a way out (Genesis 3:15). He promised Jesus. If we have accepted Him, we are freed from the guilt and shame of our sin. 

After allowing my heart to marinate in that truth for a few minutes, I was overcome by a sense of peace. How freeing and beautiful that I don’t have to bear the weight of my life! I don’t have the power to totally screw it up if I make a mistake. The pressure to make sure everything is perfect is lifted. We do not have to carry the full weight, because Jesus is bearing it for us! [continued in comments👇🏻]
