Delicious and easy-to-make Keto Peanut Butter Cookies that are low in carbs and perfect for a keto-friendly snack or dessert. Made with natural peanut butter and a keto-approved sweetener, these cookies bake quickly to a golden perfection with a classic crisscross fork pattern on top.
Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 cup peanut butter (unsweetened, natural)
- 1/2 cup sweetener (erythritol, stevia, or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sweetener, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Form Dough Balls: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls evenly spaced about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow room for spreading.
- Shape Cookies: Use a fork to gently press down on each dough ball, creating a crisscross pattern on top. This also helps flatten the cookies for even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges and set.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, use crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth.
- Make sure to use natural, unsweetened peanut butter to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
- You can substitute the sweetener with any keto-approved sweetener to your taste.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- These cookies do not contain any flour, making them gluten-free as well.
