Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter creamy or crunchy
  • ½ cup low carb sweetener erythritol or monk fruit

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the peanut butter and sweetener to the bowl and mix until well combined and a dough forms
  • Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form the dough into 12 equal-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Use a fork to press down on the dough balls in a criss-cross pattern.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter that doesn't contain added sugar or oils for a healthier and more keto-friendly option.
  • You can use any keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia to sweeten the cookies. Adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste.
  • If the dough is too sticky to work with, you can chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before forming it into balls.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cookies, as they can become dry and crumbly. Keep an eye on them and remove them from the oven when the edges are lightly golden.
  • You can add some extra flavor and texture to the cookies by stirring in some chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or coconut flakes.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
