Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250g) natural creamy peanut butter (no added sugar, e.g., Crazy Richard’s)
- 1/2 cup (80g) powdered keto sweetener (e.g., allulose or monk fruit blend)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the natural creamy peanut butter, powdered keto sweetener, and large egg. Stir together until the mixture forms a smooth dough with an even consistency.
- Form Dough Balls: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll each into a ball. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Flatten and Pattern: Using a fork, gently flatten each dough ball and press the tines onto the surface to create a classic crisscross pattern, which also helps the cookies bake evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn a golden color.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Ensure your peanut butter is natural and free of added sugars to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
- Room temperature egg mixes better with the peanut butter, creating a smoother dough.
- Don’t overbake; cookies might seem soft when out of the oven but will firm up as they cool.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Optional: Add a pinch of salt or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
