Keto Shopping List for Peanut Butter Cookies:

• Baking pan
• Parchment paper
• One egg
• Reduced-sugar creamy or crunchy peanut butter
• Granular erythritol
• Pure vanilla extract
• Baking powder
• Sea salt

Erythritol sweetener should be on every keto beginner's shopping list. It is a zero carb and zero-calorie sweetener, without a bitter aftertaste that some sugar alternatives suffer from. However, erythritol tastes and bakes like sugar which makes for an easy, no-hassle, substitution. Although some would argue it does not taste the same as sugar I personally think it is as close to the real thing as you can get, and it is guilt-free too.

Getting to indulge in sweets is important when maintaining a healthy diet and chewy peanut butter cookie would have to one of my favorite sweets. With some minor tweaks to a standard recipe, it is as easy as ever to make a batch and keep them set aside as keto-friendly snacks.

These peanut butter cookies are sure to remind you of the traditional recipe most of us might remember when we were kids. Being able to snack on something we are familiar with and love to eat, and still staying on track with the keto diet is a win-win situation.

I made this recipe with creamy peanut butter, but you can easily trade it out for crunchy peanut butter if you want a little extra crunch in your cookies. Making these cookies with crunchy peanut butter should be a quick and easy substitution but is sure to be a nice alternative to the smooth creamy peanut butter cookie.

So get going, get baking, and start falling in love with these guilt-free peanut butter cookies! They are sure to become a household favorite.
