Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

Author: Liz Jocson

It's a recipe for keto peanut butter cookies and it's low in carbs, grain-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sugar-free peanut butter

• 1/2 cup of softened butter

• 1 cup of monk fruit sweetener

    1 teaspoonLiquid Stevia  

• 1 egg

• 1 cup of almond flour

• 1 teaspoon of baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

    1/2 teaspoon Xanthon gum

    1   tablespoon  konjac powder (i.e.       glucomannan) 

                

Instructions:

1 Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

2 Using an electric mixer, beat well the peanut butter, butter, sugar-substitute, liquid stevia and egg.

3 To this batter add the almond flour and baking powder, Xanthon gum, konjac powder and salt. Stir the mixture until fully incorporated.

4 Drop a teaspoon amount of dough to form little balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

5 Once the dough balls are on the cookie sheet, flatten them with the tines of fork and to make a crisscross design or add a few sugar free chocolate chips on the top. My personal favorite.

6 Bake in a 350 degree oven until lightly brown around the edges about 9 min. 

7 Allow the cookies to cool before eating and storing.

8 Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

        9       Enjoy!
