Ingredients

  • 1 Cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 Egg Large
  • ¼ cup Almond Flour
  • ½ Cup powdered erythritol
  • Pinch sea salt optional
  • 1 tsp vanilla optional

Instructions

  • In a mixer, beat together the peanut butter and granulated erythritol until creamy. Add in the egg, almond flour, and salt.
  • Mix until combined and a dough forms. Chill dough in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • Use 1 1/2 inch cookie scooper to make 12 evenly size balls and place them on the prepared pan. Use a fork to press them down. 
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

  • almond flour substitute: add either 2 tbsp of coconut flour or 2 tbsp of crunchy peanut butter.
  • powdered erythritol: to replace, use 6 tablespoons of confectioners swerve sweetener
  • bake for 15 minutes for soft and chewy. for crunchier and crispy cookies bake longer for about 20 minutes.
  • Cookies don't spread much, form your desired look and size. Use a fork to form patterns on top and press down. 
  • This recipe will still work just fine without any flour: you can just use 1 cup peanut butter, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup sweetener.
