Keto PB Cookies Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup low-carb sweetener of your choice (such as erythritol or stevia)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, low-carb sweetener, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture forms a cookie dough consistency.
- Optional: If desired, add in sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts and mix until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Use a fork to gently press down on each dough ball, creating a crisscross pattern on top of the cookies.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies have cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed!
