These turned out great! I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because they don't hold together as well as other, more fatty :) cookies, but no big deal. Great taste without being so full of fat and calories.

Karen-

Try using Smart Balance. Although their brand of peanut butter is all natural, it has the same texture and taste (though better in my opinion) of regular peanut butter. I found that their chunky peanut butter worked well in this recipe. I might try using soynut butter or almond butter next time, too.

How do I know which type of peanut butter to use for recipes? Do I use natural just peanuts or the type with added sugars etc. in them?
