Ingredients needed

Like classic peanut butter cookies, these use pretty much identical ingredients but minus the sugar and carbs! Here is what you’ll need:

  • Peanut butter. Smooth, drippy peanut butter is best. Aim for the all-natural kind, with no added sugar.
  • Keto sweetener. I like using allulose, but monk fruit and erythritol can both be used.
  • Egg. Room temperature eggs.

How to make keto peanut butter cookies

Simple is truly an understatement to make this recipe. All together, these cookies take no time to make! Ready to whip up some cookies?

Step 1- Make the batter

Start by adding the peanut butter, sweetener, and egg into a mixing bowl and mixing until combined.

Step 2- Bake the cookies

Next, use a 2-inch cookie scoop to scoop out portions of the dough and place them on a lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until just firm around the edges.

Let the cookies cool on the pan completely.

Tips to make the best recipe

  • Avoid over-baking the cookies as they continue to firm up as they are cooling down.
  • Do not use crunchy or super thick peanut butters or else the dough will be very hard to form.
  • Fold through some chocolate chips, dried fruit, or even a chopped up candy bar.

Storage instructions

Wondering what is the best way to store leftovers? Here are best practices for cookie storage.

  • To store: Store peanut butter cookies in a sealed container at room temperature. They will keep fresh for up to 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can refrigerate them, and those will keep for up to 1 month.
  • To freeze: Place cookies in parchment paper and place them in a ziplock bag or shallow container. Frozen cookies will keep fresh for up to 6 months.
