Description
An easy recipe for Keto Peanut Butter Cookies with crispy edges, sweet peanut butter flavor, and just 2 Net Carbs!
Ingredients
Tools Needed
- medium cookie scoop
- low carb granulated sweetener
- nonstick cookie sheet
Keto Peanut Butter Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted, creamy natural peanut butter
- 1 egg of choice – I use a flax egg*
- 1/2 cup low carb granulated sweetener
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add all ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, fold until very thoroughly mixed. This batter is very thick—if you prefer, use a stand mixer or hand mixer to whisk together ingredients.
- Using a medium scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
- Using a fork, press down on cookie to flatten. Repeat in the opposite direction, creating crisscross marks. Make sure to leave space between cookies, as they will spread while baking.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes. Mine took 12 minutes.
- Transfer cookie sheet to cooling rack and allow to cool for 20 minutes—do not remove from sheet for 20 minutes, as cookies are a bit soft. Then, if desired, transfer cookies directly onto the cooling rack to cool until completely cooled. Enjoy! Storing notes below.
