Notes
Here are some important notes for making Keto Peanut Butter Cookies:
Use Natural Peanut Butter: Ensure you use natural peanut butter without added sugar or hydrogenated oils for a healthier option.
Choose Keto-Friendly Sweeteners: Opt for keto-approved sweeteners like erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit sweetener to keep the cookies low in carbohydrates.
Adjust Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sweetener according to your taste preferences. Some sweeteners may be sweeter than others, so start with a smaller amount and taste the dough before adding more.
Consistency of Dough: The dough should be firm and easy to handle. If it's too sticky, add a little more almond flour. If it's too dry, add a bit more peanut butter.
Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cookies while baking, as almond flour can brown quickly. Remove them from the oven when they are golden brown around the edges.
Cooling for Texture: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets or a wire rack before handling. This helps them firm up and develop a chewy texture.
Storage: Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
Variations: Feel free to customize the cookies by adding sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
Nutritional Information: Calculate the exact nutritional values based on the specific brands and quantities of ingredients you use, especially if you're closely monitoring your macros on a keto diet.
