I finally made these cookies and absolutely loved them. I am on a low carb diet so i had to make quite a few changes. First of all, i used home made peanut butter which was more work, but virtually no oil at all. It was crunchy all over and not gooey. I cut the sugar in half and replaced it with Splenda. I used 2 egg whites instead of a whole egg. I'm not really sure if the vanilla did anything, but i used a bit. I wasn't able to make a lot of cookies though with this recipe, next time i will increase the porportions. Very chewy, not really much of a cookie, but i loved it=D
