Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy unsweetened peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or granulated low-carb sweetener
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and erythritol. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and a dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each ball of dough with a fork in a criss-cross pattern to give each cookie its classic texture.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, until they are lightly golden but remain soft in the center.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these delicious low-carb peanut butter cookies as a satisfying snack or dessert!
