Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 0.5 cup low-calorie natural sweetener (such as Swerve®)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract

Method

  1. Collect the required ingredients. Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, thoroughly mix the peanut butter, sweetener, egg, and vanilla extract to create a cohesive dough.
  3. Shape the mixture into 12 balls, each about 1-inch in size. Arrange them on the tray and flatten each one twice with a fork to create a crosshatch design.
  4. Place the tray in the oven and bake until the cookie edges turn golden, which will take 12 to 15 minutes.
  5. Allow the cookies to rest for 1 minute on the tray before moving them to a wire rack for complete cooling.
