INGREDIENTS TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
-
- Peanut Butter : Start with the star of the show: creamy, rich peanut butter! Choose a keto-friendly brand made with just peanuts, no added sugar or fillers.
- Almond Flour : Almond flour adds a delightful nuttiness and chewy texture. Choose a finely ground variety, or blend your almond meal into a powder for the perfect cookie base.
- Coconut Oil : Refined or cold-pressed coconut oil adds a subtle coconut flavor and helps these cookies bake up beautifully. Just the right amount of healthy fat for a satisfying keto treat!
- Sweetener : Choose your favorite sugar-free sweetener, like powdered erythritol or monk fruit erythritol. They’ll add sweetness without impacting your keto goals.
HOW TO MAKE THESE PEANUT BUTTER KETO COOKIES?
Preheat the oven to 350 degree F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Pulse your erythritol in a coffee grinder or blender until it becomes a smooth powder this will ensure in dissolving well with the peanut butter.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda and salt. Give them a good stir. Add a scoop or two of protein powder if needed. Flavors like vanilla, chocolate do not alter the taste of the cookies.
Warm up your coconut oil, either on the stovetop or in the microwave, until it melts into a luxurious liquid.
Pour the melted coconut oil into the dry mixture. Grab your spoon or spatula and give it a good stir, letting the dough come together in a smooth embrace.
Not a fan of coconut oil? While it adds a touch of richness, its flavor is subtle and easily masked by the powerful peanut butter punch. Feel free to substitute the same amount of unsalted butter if you prefer.
Mix all the ingredients together. Don’t panic if the dough looks a bit crumbly at first! Give it a gentle knead with your hands, and watch it magically transform into a cohesive, smooth ball of peanut butter goodness.
Divide the dough into equal-sized portions using a cookie scoop. Line them on a baking tray and flatten them to resemble a cookie. Remember these cookies do not spread like the traditional ones.
Give your cookies a signature look! Press them gently with the back of a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern like a tiny smile.
Place the balls on a baking tray and press them with the back side of a fork to make so marks.
Bake the cookies for 10 minutes.
The edges will turn to a golden hue, they are still soft at this point. But don’t be fooled by their underdone appearance, trust the process and remove them at 10 minute mark.
After 5 mins transfer the cookies on to a wire rack to cool for 10 – 15 minutes.
As they cool, these cookies work their magic! They transform from slightly soft to perfectly crispy, offering a delightful textural surprise with every bite.
These cookies are very crispy and unique from other peanut butter cookies which are usually soft. Store them in an air tight container for up to a week.
So, brew yourself a cup of your favorite tea, grab a crispy cookie, and settle in for a moment of pure delight. This is the perfect way to unwind after a long day or simply enjoy a guilt-free indulgence.
