Peanut Butter Cookies

If I'm feeling the need for a cookie this recipe is one of my go-to recipes.  A handful of ingredients that quickly come together for a delicious sweet treat.

Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup sweetener of choice (I use a Stevia/erythritol blend)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 egg

1/4 cup sugar free chocolate chips (optional)

In a large mixing bowl use a mixer to combine peanut butter, sugar or sweetener and baking soda.  Add egg and continue mixing until it comes together to form a soft dough.  Mix in the chocolate chips.  Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on baking sheet.  Flatten each ball with a fork to form a crosshatch pattern.  Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.  Let rest 5 minutes before removing to a rack to cool.  Makes 24 cookies.

I like to use all natural chunky or creamy peanut butter.  Chunky peanut butter is my favorite.  These cookies taste so good, with or without the chocolate chips, it's hard to believe they're good for you!
