There are so many variations of the recipe for these Keto cookies with peanut butter, but I like to keep things plain and with minimal ingredients.

Protein powder in cookies

I know that some people add protein powder to their peanut butter cookies.

I’ve tried some recipes, but the cookies were too dry.

That’s why I think that the combination of just peanut butter and powdered low-carb sweetener is just enough to achieve cookies that don’t fall apart, but still stay moist on the inside.

The list of ingredients is surprising!

No butter!

There is no cream cheese or nut flour.

No protein powder!

• Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
• Powdered erythritol
• Egg

Can I use powdered peanut butter in these cookies

Looking into substituting powdered peanut butter for regular in this recipe?

I do not recommend it. Powdered Peanut Butter DOES NOT WORK in this recipe!

What sweetener to use for Keto cookies ?

• For BEST results, use confectioners (powdered) sugar-free, low-carb, keto sweetener.
• I use Swerve Powdered sweetener.
• Monk fruit also works, but keep in mind that the cookies will be sweeter.
• Truvia for baking could be used.
• If you decide to stick to granulated sweetener, keep in mind that you still might be able to feel the granules in the texture of the baked cookies. I don’t personally like that.

I try to avoid the granulated sweeteners in cookie recipes like thisKeto Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe, because I just love the cookie texture when using powdered.

Do you need to use eggs in this Keto peanut butter cookie recipe?

Yes, because eggs help to hold the dough together.

Flourless cookies with pb

Yes! There is no flour, no gluten-free flour, not even nut (almond), flour used in there.

ThisRecipe for Keto Peanut Butter Cookies requires baking.

Because of the egg, you can not consume these raw.

I usually bake mine for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are set and start to turn golden.

The size of these cookies is about 1.5 tbsp of dough.

This Keto peanut butter cookie recipe makes 9 cookies.

Double or triple it if you’d like to make more.

This is the best and my most-favorite recipe for Keto peanut butter cookies.

Crispy cookies

These Keto peanut butter cookies ARE NOT CRISPY.

Please note that these cookies are rather rubbery than crispy, due to the lack of flour. Please DO NOT expect the recipe to result into crispy cookies.
