IN THIS POST: Everything you need to make the best keto peanut butter cookies

Ingredients

The nice thing about keto cookie recipes is they usually have short lists! This is the best keto peanut butter cookie recipe because it only has THREE INGREDIENTS.

• monk fruit sweetener – swerve sugar substitute works great here too!
• natural peanut butter (see notes below!)
• egg

These are flourless cookies – no almond flour or coconut flour but similar in net carbs

Instructions for this recipe

Let’s make some peanut butter cookies keto, shall we?

This is such an easy cookie dough to come together!

First, add the three ingredients to a bowl and mix them up using a spoon or spatula. I’ve really taken to using a spatula for stirring lately. I love how you can scrape every little bit off the mixing bowls as you stir.

Second, roll the dough into heaping tablespoon-sized balls and place it on a parchment-lined (you can use parchment paper or a silicone mat) prepared baking sheet.

I use a small cookie scoop. These cookies will spread out on the cookie sheet, a bit so leave some room.

Next up is the classic fork criss-cross pattern on the top.

Does anyone else start singing – kriss kross will make you JUMP JUMP – when you are making peanut butter keto cookies?

Finally, this keto dessert is ready for the oven.

Fresh out of the oven – post-bake.

Transfer them to a cooling rack and let them cool to room temperature.

Remember that Low carb cookie recipes are a different animal. Using sugar substitutes like stevia and the erythritol/monk fruit blend in this recipe, add sweetness, but definitely a different mouth feel than my usual coconut sugar or maple syrup.

It is almost a cool taste if that makes sense.

But at 4 grams of total carbs, totally gluten-free and with a nice chewy texture this peanut butter cookie recipe passes the test.

They are easy keto cookies and if you are following a keto diet or a sugar-free regimen then these are your BEST option. The peanut butter taste shines through the most.
