Low-carb peanut butter cookies

Step 1

1 Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

2 Use a hand mixer to whip the peanut butter and sweetener until smooth.

Step 3

3 Mix in the remaining ingredients until a soft dough is formed.

Step 4

4 Roll the dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) diameter balls and place on a baking sheet about 2-inches (about 4-5 cm) apart. Use your palm to press the balls into a ¼ inch (½ cm) thick round cookie. You can also drag a fork across the top to make a crisscross pattern.

Step 5

5 Bake for 9 minutes or until browned.

Step 6

6 Let cool for a few minutes and then use a spatula to transfer the cookies to a baking rack to cool and crisp up. The cookies will be soft when first out of the oven, so be sure to cool before eating.
