Peanut Butter Cup cookies:)

Heaven!
OK, so I was inspired by the thought of peanut butter cup cookies. After 3 stores I found the Reese's sugar free peanut butter cups at Walgreen's. They were spendy little buggers, coming in 2.59 for 10. I ate 2 last night and then made cookies for the remaining 8 today. I did the "magic" peanut butter cookies and cooked them in a mini muffin pan. I actually only made 1/2 the recipe because I knew I wouldn't have enough Reeses. How do you 1/2 an egg you say? Very carefully:) One of the suggestions that I saw online was to put the PB cups in the freezer. I should have let them freeze longer because as you can see they melted pretty quickly. I cooked the cookies 7 minutes, which was another suggestion that I saw online. When you cook them in the muffin pan you cut  aprox 5 minutes off their normal cook time. There is 0 sugar in the PB cups and about 5.4 carbs per cup. It is truly a Heavenly treat. The S/C counts for the cookies are on Dawn's blog.
I was at 133.7 this morning which is not even a lb up in weight from my low. I still feel in "control", but I am finding that I was ready for some Holiday treats. My proud moment....I only ate 2 of these cookies and I could probably eat the whole batch in a blink!

I have been so busy I haven't posted comments lately but I wanted to tell you that you look FABULOUS in your pictures! What a difference from last year. You can really see it in your face too. Maybe next year I'll have a before and after picture to put up! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!

  2. Hi Kay, I agree with everyone that has been commenting on your fabulous pictures,,,, Be super proud and happy.
    Just a thought,,,, since the little cups cost so much what about cutting them in half or even into fourths. You would still be getting the peanut butter taste. I'm going to try them putting the cut sides into the dough that way when they melt the chocolate will be on the top as if they weren't cut. How is your Sister doing? She is in my thoughts a lot,,, Because of my son I relate I guess
