Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened) Ensure it's pure peanut butter without added sugars.
- 1/2 cup erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener Adjust sweetness to taste.
- 1 large egg Standard size egg.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional for enhanced flavor.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda For leavening.
- a pinch salt Enhances flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, erythritol, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix well until you get a smooth dough.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each ball to allow for spreading.
- Gently press each ball with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Serve with coffee or tea; great for snacks or dessert. Adding chocolate chips or nuts can enhance flavor and texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
