Keto Peanut Butter Cookies
Description
This keto-friendly cookie recipe relies on peanut butter as the main ingredient, combined with a sugar substitute erythritol, almond flour for structure, and egg to bind. The dough is naturally soft and sticky, becoming firmer as it is mixed. Formed into balls and flattened with a fork, the cookies bake quickly at 350°F, developing light golden edges.
The resulting cookies have a chewy center and a lightly crisp exterior. Vanilla extract is optional for added aroma. Salt can be sprinkled on top to enhance the peanut flavor. These cookies are suitable for those limiting carbohydrates and avoiding sugar.
Storing the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature keeps them fresh up to five days. Adjusting erythritol amount can tailor the sweetness level. Using sugar-free peanut butter is important to maintain the low-carb profile.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup erythritol add more for sweeter cookies
- 1 egg large
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tsp vanilla optional
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F.
- Add all the ingredients to a medium-large mixing bowl. Stir with a spatula until fully and mixed through. The batter will be runny at first and get harder as it is mixed.
- Scoop out dough using a cookie scoop and shape it into a ball. Place on a baking sheet and flatten with a fork. Drizzle with salt if desired.
- Bake 12 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container or zipper bag at room temperature for up to five days to maintain freshness.
- Adjust erythritol quantity between 1/3 to 1/2 cup to achieve your preferred sweetness level.
- Use sugar-free peanut butter to keep the cookies keto-compliant; the recipe uses Kirkland brand from Costco.
