Still on our quest to lose a few nasty pounds but we (ahem, JT🤣) needed a bit of a treat so I converted this old favourite into a low-carb cookie. The flavours are bang on and they really satisfied our cravings for a treat.
Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies
Makes about 17 cookies
Ingredients:
- 260 g crunchy, natural peanut butter
- 100 g erythritol
- 1 egg
- 5 mL vanilla
- 3 g salt
- 20 g salted peanuts
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl except the salted peanuts. Mix with a hand mixer so that everything is well combined.
- Portion out 25 g of the cookie dough and press into your palm to form a circle about 5 cm or 2.5 inches in diameter. Lay each cookie on the parchment-lined baking tray about 5 cm or 2.5 inches apart. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet.
I can imagine how satisfying these cookies must be, especially when craving a treat while sticking to a low-carb diet. I think its a sign for me, start doing low carb 😁

Peanut butter is one of my favorite ingredients in desserts. I love the salty sweet nature. Your cookies are low carb and low calorie too.

I have made this version with brown sugar so now I guess I will try this kind. I could use lowering my carbs!

Yeah, I’ve heard you can successfully bake peanut butter cookies without any flour yet I haven’t tried that myself – thanks for testing this out 🙂 I need to try it too – just will use some honey instead as I’m not a fan of sugar substitutes.

Love peanut butter! (I am trying hard not to over consume them since they are not real nuts, but legumes) These low carb cookies sound and look wonderful.
