Perfect Peanut Cookies Every Carb Watcher Needs

These peanut butter cookies are perfect! They're soft, packed with peanut butter flavor and easy to make. Friends and family tasted them and were shocked to learn they're keto-friendly, naturally high in protein and gluten-free. At 88 calories and 17.8 carbs per cookies, having more than one doesn't break the bank.

I appreciate that these don't require chilling the dough and stay fresh for 2 to 3 days, if they last that long!
 

HOW I MADE THEM:

Powdered peanut butter, sweetener, almond flour, and egg are combined and baked. What results is a soft, ultra peanut buttery bite. So easy…so good!

RECIPE:

*lower sugar by using all swerve and instead of using Truvia brown sugar use 3 tbs Swerve brown sugar
Makes 9
1 cookie: 88 cals/3.6g total fat/.4g sat fat/17.8g carbs/1.8g fiber/5.7g sugar/5.8g protein 

1/2 cup powdered peanut butter
2 tbs sugar
4 tbs swerve granular
1 tbs Truvia brown sugar 
1/3 cup + 2 tbs almond flour
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp baking powder
1 large egg, room temperature
1 tbs unsweetened almond milk

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 1/4 baking sheet with parchment. In a medium sized bowl combine powdered peanut butter through baking powder. Make sure to break up any clumps from the brown sugar. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk, add to the dry ingredients. Mix to combine. If things look a bit dry, slowly add some almond milk until it forms a scoopable cookie dough. 

Using a tablespoon evenly space cookies on the baking sheet. They spread slightly so give them 1/2 inch minimum between them. Bake for 10 mins. Cool on baking sheet 1 min. and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
