Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

  Followers of the keto diet stick to a low-carb meal plan, getting energy and nutrients from protein and fats instead. Peanut butter is a great source of both, and it makes a delicious base for these cookies.

Ingredients :

• 1 cup unsweetened, unsalted peanut butter (smooth or chunky; I used Trader Joe's Organic Creamy No Salt Peanut Butter)
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup (64g) Swerve Brown sweetener
• 1/4 tsp fine sea salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF; line a large baking sheet with parchment.
2. In a bowl, combine all ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until well incorporated. Use a 1-tablespoon scoop or two spoons to portion dough. Roll into balls and place 1 inch apart on baking sheets. Use a fork to flatten and create a crisscross pattern.
3. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges but still slightly soft in the middle, about 9 to 11 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet on wire racks for 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to rack to cool completely. Store leftovers covered in the fridge.
