You know that feeling right after dinner where you feel like you just need a little something sweet to finish off the evening....you know the big ole sweet tooth feeling? Well, here is an absolutely divine dessert recipe that is super easy to make and not that unhealthy, in terms of dessert. I really try to incorporate fruit into as many dessert recipes as I can to increase the nutritional value of the dish. I think you will love this recipe.
Sugar Cookie Peaches
Serves: 2
Adapted by: http://modernmealsfortwo.com/2011/08/12/sugar-cookie-peaches/
Ingredients:
1/4 stick light butter, room temperature
1/4 cup sugar or 2 tablespoons Splenda Sugar Blend (I use splenda)
1/2 large egg white
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla
pinch of salt
1/2 cup + 1/2 tablespoon white whole wheat flour OR all purpose flour (I use white whole wheat)
1/3 teaspoon baking powder
2 large peaches (make sure to pick ripe peaches)
Directions:
-In a mixing bowl combine the butter, sugar, egg white, vanilla and salt. You will cream this mixture together with a hand mixer or you can use your stand mixer.
-In a small bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder together. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Loosely cover and place in the refrigerator.
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-Wash and dry peaches and cut each peach in half. Use a spoon and remove the pit. Place the peach halves cut side up on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Top each of the peach halves with 1/4 of the cookie dough mixture, pressing down slightly to make sure it covers the top of the peach.
-Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cookie top is golden brown.
-Let cool and serve.
Enjoy! :)
*Tip: you can top a peach half with some lowfat frozen yogurt or some cool whip.
