Equipment
- 1 fork
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup monk fruit sweetener or white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Mix all the ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl until combined.1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup monk fruit sweetener, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Drop 1 ½ Tablespoon balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a fork, make a crisscross pattern on the top of each dough ball, gently pressing it down.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the cookies are slightly set and the edges have begun to brown slightly (see notes). Remove from the oven and after 15 minutes, remove the cookies to a cooling rack.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
Ingredient Tips - We recommend using a peanut butter that is solid at room temperature. Some natural varieties do meet this requirement, but if the peanut butter is runny (very loose) at room temperature, chill the dough for 60 minutes before baking.
Baking Tips - These cookies may not look completely done when removed them from the oven. But they will bake more as they cool on the pan before being transferred to a wire rack.
Serving Tip - If you're feeling fancy, after the cookies have cooled drizzle melted chocolate over them. Or dip 1/3 of each cookie in melted chocolate and place the cookies back on the parchment lined baking sheet while the chocolate hardens.
Storage Tips - Store the cookies in an airtight container or storage bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
