Low Carb Keto Peanut Butter Cookies
Description
The Low Carb Keto Peanut Butter Cookies use high-quality crunchy peanut butter with no additives, granulated keto sweetener, and egg to bind the dough. A pinch of sea salt and optional cinnamon add depth to the flavor profile. The dough is portioned into 15-gram balls, flattened with a fork to create the classic criss-cross pattern, and baked at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes to achieve the desired texture.
Baking time affects the texture: 8 minutes yields a softer center, while 10 minutes makes the entire cookie crunchy after cooling. Cooling is important to allow the cookies to set and crisp. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness and provide a convenient low carb snack or dessert option.
The addition of sea salt both in the dough and on top enhances the sweetness and complements the peanut flavor, creating a balanced taste that echoes salted caramel combinations often appreciated in desserts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter 250g, crunchy, 100% peanuts
- ½ cup granulated sweetener (100g)
- 1 egg large
- pinch of sea salt
- cinnamon optional; ½ teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit.
- Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix with a fork.
- Roll small balls of dough (about 15g each) with your hands (or use a small cookie scoop) and flatten them on a baking sheet.
- Wet a fork and press on cookies to create a criss cross pattern.
- Bake 8 -10 minutes, until the edges are firm. (8 minutes = soft centre, 10 minutes = overall crunchy)
- Let cool completely before eating. They are very soft when just out of the oven, but will become crunchy once cooled.
- Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Each cookie contains about 6 grams of net carbs, suitable for low carb diets.
- Choose peanut butter that contains only peanuts without other ingredients for best results.
- You can make your own peanut butter using a food processor if desired.
- Incorporating sea salt into the dough and sprinkling some on top balances sweetness with a salted caramel effect.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
