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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated erythritol, egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Stir the ingredients together until a smooth, thick dough forms.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Flatten each ball slightly using the back of a fork, pressing in a crisscross pattern to create the classic peanut butter cookie look.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
