Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Natural peanut butter (unsweetened, no added sugar)
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol (or another sugar substitute, like stevia)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter and granulated erythritol. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until a slightly sticky dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into small balls (about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter).
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Gently flatten each ball with the tines of a fork in a crisscross pattern for a classic peanut butter cookie look.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies will firm up further as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these delicious and diabetic-friendly cookies as a snack or dessert!
