Peanut Butter Cookies

If you're looking for a healthy cookie to take to a pot luck, here it is. 

Peanut Butter Cookies
My Chinese cookie said I was stuck in a Chinese bakery!! I'm thinking that there are worst places to be then in a bakery.

Now that I'm on a low Glycemic diet these cookies are perfect. My Blood Sugar number for today was 106. Not too bad. Spring is here and baking is something I love to do. I found this recipe on diabeticlivingonline. I think this will satisfy both my need to bake and not get my to far off track.
