Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter (250g)
  • ½ cup granulated erythritol or other sugar substitute (90g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • salt (optional, if peanut butter is unsalted)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Fork
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons

Method
 

Making the Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar substitute, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt if you are using it; mix until a cohesive dough forms.
  3. Roll the dough into 12-15 balls, each approximately 1-inch in diameter, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet; flatten each ball with a fork to create a classic crosshatch pattern.
  4. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until their edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  5. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best results, use a natural peanut butter that does not contain added sugars. Feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener to match your personal taste preference.
