I first made this recipe for a friend on the Cato Diet, but
it turned out to be so good that I started eating it right out of the oven.
They can be made with just a few basic ingredients and without any flour or
sugar. This is one of those easy desserts that even people who are not on a
special diet can enjoy.
This simple keto peanut butter cookie requires only 3
ingredients. Can be made with peanut butter, a low-carb sweetener, and with or without
eggs. They are sweet and salty. Each cookie contains 3 grams of pure
carbohydrates. We like these that are made quickly and easily.
These are perfect for a healthy dessert any day of the week.
What's special about them is that you can make them a week in advance and they
still have a fresh, chewy taste.

What to Look Out For When You Buying Peanut
Butter?
Always check the label when buying it! Often, brands include
palm oil and sugar. There are many brands in the UK that contain natural peanut
butter.
How do you make Keto Cookies not crumble?
Make sure they finish cooking. After all, you don't want to
overcook them so they're hard and soft. But you don't want them too soft
because when you remove them from the sheet they will break.
What if your dough is too runny?
This is probably due to the use of butter. Mix well before
using it. You can also refrigerate nut butter to make it easier to handle. In
addition, the powder sweetener will help the flour to flow less. Remember to
use powdered keto sugar in it.
What sweetener is best to use in the Keto Peanut Butter Cookie recipe?
For best results, I used Swerve in powder form. Also called
Swerve Confectioners. This is a great keto-friendly dessert that works great!
Monk fruit also works well in this but you have to add a little bit to it as it
is sweeter.
If you have a
granular keto sweetener, you can add it to the food processor for a few seconds
and it will turn into a powder that allows you to make the best keto paint
butter cookies. There is no need to buy different types of sweeteners when you
can do it in just a few seconds with the right tools at home.
How to store and freeze peanut butter cookies?
Store peanut butter cookies in an airtight container at room
temperature. They can be stored for up to 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can store
them in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Place the cookies on parchment
paper and place them in a zip lock bag. These cookies can be frozen for up to 5-6
months.
How many carbs are in peanut butter keto cookies?
Peanut butter cookies are low-carb and low-calorie desserts. Each cookie contains 80 calories and contains 1 gram of fiber and 3 grams of carbohydrates.
Conclusion.

flour-free peanut butter cookies for the diet. They are made only from almond
flour, swerve, and eggs and are incredibly soft and chewy. Also, these Cato
Paint Butter cookies are so easy to make that it only takes 15 minutes from
