Keto Coconut Flour Peanut Butter Cookies
Description
This recipe blends coconut flour, smooth peanut butter, eggs, powdered sweetener, baking powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to form a dough. Coconut flour’s absorbent nature gives the dough a slightly sticky feel, which is managed by wetting hands to shape and flatten the cookies on the tray. Baking at 180°C (350°F) for 8 to 10 minutes produces soft cookies that firm up upon cooling. Extending baking time to 12-14 minutes results in a crispier texture.
The cookies feature a distinctive peanut butter taste balanced by mild sweetness from the powdered sweetener. The use of coconut flour keeps these cookies keto-friendly by minimizing carbohydrates. The criss-cross fork marks are a classic visual and texture element. Cooling fully before handling is essential, as the cookies are fragile when warm.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to five days and are suitable for freezing if you want to keep them longer. The recipe yields nine cookies with about 3g net carbs each, making them a controlled treat option for low-carb diets.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup coconut flour 40g
- ½ cup / 140g peanut butter smooth and soft
- 2 egg large
- ¼ cup / 30g powdered sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt if not in your peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit.
- Put all ingredients in a bowl and stir together with a fork until a dough forms. Use your hands to roll into a ball. The dough will be slightly sticky so if it sticks to your fingers, simply wet them with a little water and roll.
- Cut into 9 and roll into balls. Wet your hands again if needed. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Flatten each cookie dough ball into 1 cm thick / 5 cm diameter disks using a fork, making a criss cross pattern.
- Bake for 8 - 10 minutes (mine baked for 9). Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Notes
- Let cookies cool completely to firm up, as they are fragile straight from the oven.
- For a crispier cookie, extend baking time to 12-14 minutes.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- These cookies can be frozen if longer storage is needed.
