These super simple keto peanut butter cookies deliver classic peanut butter cookie flavor with minimal ingredients and very little prep work. Natural peanut butter creates a rich texture while stevia keeps the recipe low in sugar and relatively low in net carbs. The cookies are beginner friendly, budget friendly, easy to customize, and work well as a quick dessert or snack for peanut butter lovers.

Ingredients

• 16 oz natural peanut butter
• 1.5 Tbsp stevia extract powder
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• Water for dipping the fork

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease the pan.
3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, stevia extract powder, and vanilla extract.
4. Taste the dough before adding eggs and adjust sweetness if desired.
5. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
6. Crack the eggs into the well and whisk lightly with a fork until combined.
7. Stir the eggs into the peanut butter mixture until a thick cookie dough forms.
8. Roll the dough into roughly 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Dip a dinner fork into water and gently press each cookie.
10. Rotate the fork 90 degrees and press again to create a crisscross pattern.
11. Smooth any cracked edges with your fingers if desired.
12. Bake for about 12 minutes.
13. Allow cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before eating since the centers will be very hot initially.

Notes

• Taste the dough only before adding raw eggs.
• Different stevia brands vary greatly in sweetness concentration.
• NOW Foods Stevia Extract Powder is one option that works well in this recipe.
• Natural peanut butter with only peanuts and optional salt works best.
