Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter (unsweetened, natural)
  • 1/2 cup sweetener (erythritol, stevia, or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sweetener, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Form Dough Balls: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  4. Shape Cookies: Use a fork to gently press down on each dough ball, creating a classic crisscross pattern which helps the cookies bake evenly.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn golden around the edges, indicating they are fully baked.
  6. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes so they firm up, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use natural, unsweetened peanut butter without added sugars or oils.
  • You can substitute the sweetener with any keto-approved sweetener you prefer.
  • Do not overbake to maintain a soft and chewy texture.
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.
  • These cookies can be frozen for longer storage; thaw at room temperature before serving.
