Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
- 1 cup Granular sugar substitute (e.g., Stevia, erythritol, or your choice of low-calorie sweetener)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, granular sugar substitute, egg, and vanilla extract.
Mix all the ingredients together until a smooth and cohesive dough forms.
Scoop out small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Use the tines of a fork to gently press down on each dough ball, creating a criss-cross pattern on top of each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake them.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your South Beach Peanut Butter Cookies as a snack or dessert!
