Keto PB cookies

 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, ensure it's sugar-free)
• 1/2 cup erythritol (or another keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• A pinch of salt (if your peanut butter is unsalted)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Dough:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, erythritol, egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt (if using). Mix until well combined and a dough forms.

3. Shape the Cookies:

1. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
2. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
3. Flatten each dough ball with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on the top.

4. Bake the Cookies:

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden.
2. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. Serve:

• Enjoy your keto peanut butter cookies with a cup of coffee or as a tasty snack.
