Keto Peanut Butter Cookies (Only 3 Ingredients!)
Description
The Keto Peanut Butter Cookies rely on the creamy texture of natural peanut butter combined with eggs and a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit sweetener. Mixing these until smooth forms a pliable dough that can be portioned into tablespoon-sized balls. Pressing them down with a fork creates the traditional peanut butter cookie pattern and helps the cookies bake evenly.
Baked at 350°F, the cookies develop a chewy texture after 13 minutes; extending baking time slightly makes them firmer and more like shortbread. Their simple composition makes them easy to prepare without needing flour or additional binding agents. The resulting cookies feature the rich nutty flavor of peanut butter with just enough sweetness to satisfy low-carb dietary preferences.
Nutritional information approximates net carbs at about 2 grams per cookie, making them suitable for ketogenic diets when consumed in moderation.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter natural
- 2 egg
- 1/4 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine peanut butter, eggs, and sweetener in a non-slip mixing bowl. Stir together until a smooth dough forms.
- Roll into balls (about 1 Tablespoon each) and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat.
- Using a wet fork, press cookies down so they are about 1/2" thick, making a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 13 minutes at 350°F for a chewy peanut butter cookie. If you prefer a shortbread-like texture, bake 1-2 minutes longer.
Notes
- The estimated net carbs are approximately 2 grams per cookie, depending on exact ingredients used.
- Using natural peanut butter is important for the right flavor and texture.
- Baking time affects texture: 13 minutes for chewy, longer for shortbread-like cookies.
