Diets are hard. Allergies are hard. Finding recipes that work can also be hard but search no further! You have hit the jack pot for a classic Peanut Butter Cookie recipe that is both gluten free and keto-friendly. These were my absolute favorite growing up, making them as an adult was nostalgic and also quite easy! I encourage you to give it a try. 

Description

Since the turn of the 20th century, traditional peanut butter cookies have been made.

These sweets are difficult to live without and are adored for their flavor and texture. If you follow the ketogenic diet, you are well aware that you cannot consume carbohydrates and sugar. Fortunately, you won’t have to give up these traditional cookies with this version.

You’ll be one step closer to this nutritious, guilt-free, and most importantly, tasty treat using basic keto-friendly & gluten free ingredients!

They are full of delicious peanut butter and are soft and chewy. Most importantly, this dish is simple. The entire process only takes 20 minutes. There is no better way to put it.

Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup low-calorie sweetener (i.e. Swerve)
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
2. Combine the peanut butter, sweetener, egg, vanilla, and butter in a bowl. Keep mixing until you form a dough.
3. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them on the lined baking sheet. Make a criss-cross indentation by pressing a fork into the balls horizontally then vertically.
4. Bake the balls for 12 minutes for chewy cookies, or 14 if you want them with a shortbread-like texture. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring onto a wire rack to cool.

This recipe allows for some autonomy. Pick your favorite peanut butter and get to baking! Plus you can throw the classic fork design or change it up to your own artistic endeavors. Regardless, give this a try, see what you think – I bet it brings back some tasty memories.
