Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Natural peanut butter (unsweetened, no added sugar)
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 piece 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 peanut butter, granulated erythritol, egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt.
Stir the ingredients together until a smooth, thick dough forms.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.
Flatten each ball slightly using the back of a fork, pressing in a crisscross pattern to create the classic peanut butter cookie look.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. The cookies will still be soft but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your low carb peanut butter cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
