Description
With perfectly crunchy edges, and soft and chewy centers, these are the best Keto Peanut Butter Cookies. This recipe is quick and easy, with just 5 ingredients and less than 20 minutes from start to finish. Best of all, these keto cookies are flourless and low carb, gluten free and sugar free.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granular sweetener (I use this brand)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (I use this brand)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Place all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and form a thick dough.
- Shape the dough into 1 1/2 to 2 inch balls (12 total). Place the dough balls on the cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Use a fork to flatten the cookies and make crisscross marks on top.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers are still soft.
- Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan before eating.
