Description

Deliciously easy to make Keto Peanut Butter Cookies that are low carb, sugar-free, and gluten-free. These cookies are perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings while staying on track with your keto diet.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened and unsalted)
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sweetener, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth dough.
  3. Shape Cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls, then place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
  4. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops begin to crack.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture, or chunky if you like extra crunch.
  • These cookies are naturally gluten-free and dairy-free.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
