3 Ingredient Keto Peanut Butter Cookies
Soft peanut butter cookies that are just three easy ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter, unsweetened
- 1/2 cup Brown Swerve (not packed), or other erythritol based brown sugar alternative
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, add peanut butter and Swerve. Heat in microwave for about 30 seconds so that the peanut butter is warm. Mix until the Swerve is evenly mixed into the peanut butter.
- Add in the egg. Stir until egg is thoroughly and evenly mixed in and a dough forms.
- Using a 1½ tbsp cookie scoop, scoop dough. Roll dough ball between hands to compact it and keep the dough together. Place onto prepared baking sheet. Press down to form a thick disk. Repeat with remaining dough. Use a fork to make criss-cross pattern on cookie surface.
- Bake cookies about 10-11 minutes or until the edges or top are just slightly starting to brown. It's okay if your cookies are not set and still very soft. You do not want to overbake them. Let cookies cool completely on cookie sheet before attempting to remove them. Because the cookies are a little delicate, make sure to use a cookie spatula to remove the cookies from cookie sheet.
Notes
- Warm up the peanut butter and sweetener before mixing to help the sweetener dissolve into the peanut butter.
- Be careful to not overbake the cookies as it will make them crumbly.
- Do not add too much sweetener. Doing so will make the dough dry and the sweetener will not fully melt into the dough during baking.
- I used Brown Swerve* for my sweetener.
