Ingredients:
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granular Splenda

1 cup Soy protein isolate
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter
1 cup natural (no sugar added) peanut butter
3 eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup finely chopped peanuts or pecans (optional)
2 tablespoons liquid lecithin * (or 1-1/2 tablespoons granular lecithin plus 1/2 tablespoon oil)
1 tablespoon glycerin

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a small bowl, combine Splenda, oat flour, soy protein, baking soda and powder; and mix well. In another bowl, combine butter and peanut butter and beat until fluffy. Beat egg, cream, lecithin, glycerin, and vanilla into the peanut butter mixture. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Beat until thoroughly combined. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten by criss-crossing with the tines of a fork.

Top each cookie with chopped peanuts or pecans if you're opting for them. Bake in 375 degree oven for 7 to 9 minutes, or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool cookies on a wire rack.

* Lecithin -- both granular and liquid can be found in most health food stores.
