The Best Way To Make Peanut Butter Cookies
Food: Peanut Butter Cookies (Source: Shugary Sweets)The whole recipe and ingredients list can be found below, but you can also find a fast explanation of how to make this recipe precisely, as well as helpful tips and information!
- In a mixing basin, combine all of the ingredients until they form a soft dough.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- A fork should be used to make a criss-cross pattern on the dough balls.
- Bake until the edges are golden brown. The bottoms of the cookies should be browning, and the ripples where the criss-cross was produced should not be shiny or gooey.
- Remove the cookies from the parchment paper once they have totally cooled.
Chef’s Advice
- If you’re having difficulties rolling the dough into balls or it’s too sticky, put it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- We use no-stir, creamy organic peanut butter in this recipe, but you can use whichever peanut butter you prefer. Peanut butter that is crunchy also works!

Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- ½ cup powdered Swerve + 1 tablespoon
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Food: Peanut Butter Cookies (Source: Shugary Sweets)- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use parchment paper to line a baking or cookie sheet. In a large mixing basin, combine all of the ingredients and stir thoroughly.
- Make 1 inch balls out of the dough. Place on a cookie sheet coated with parchment paper and press down twice with a fork in a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until brown around the edges. Browning will occur on the bottoms, and the criss-cross design will not appear shiny or gooey. Remove from parchment paper once completely cool.
Notes
- Dough tip: If your dough is too sticky or won’t roll out, chill it for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Peanut butter: A creamy organic no-stir peanut butter is recommended, but any creamy peanut butter will suffice. Crunchy is another option. For more information, see our page on Peanut Butter with the Keto Diet.
