Ingredients for Peanut Butter Cookies

PEANUT BUTTER Peanut butter is the star of this show- try to choose a sugar-free or low-sugar brand. All natural peanut butter usually has no sugar.

KETO SWEETENER We used Swerve for this recipe but feel free to adjust the sweetener and amount depending on your tastes.

BINDER Egg and almond flour serve to hold all the ingredients together, as well as adding great flavor and extra nutrition.

How To Make Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

  • Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

  • Lots of low-carb recipes use almond flour and coconut flour interchangeably, but for this recipe, almond flour is preferred as coconut flour has more carbs and won’t bake as moist and chewy as almond flour does.
  • Start with a room temperature egg and peanut butter to make the blending process go faster, an electric mixer is a good method for this recipe.
  • Check cookies halfway through the baking time. If they appear to be cooking more on one side of the baking sheet, turn it around halfway (many ovens have hot spots that keep baked goods from cooking evenly).
  • Store peanut butter cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread (to absorb excess moisture) at room temperature for up to 7 days.
  • Freeze extra dough (either shaped into a roll or into balls) in a zippered bag labeled with the date on the outside and they’ll keep up to 3 months.
