Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter or nut butter of choice
  • 1 tablespoon milk of choice almond, coconut, or dairy milk works great
  • 2/3 cup finely ground almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons powdered erythritol or powdered sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven

  • Set your oven to 325°F and line your baking sheet with parchment paper for non-stick baking.

Prepare the peanut butter

  • If your peanut butter is thick, gently heat it in the microwave or on the stovetop until it becomes smooth and runny. This makes it easier to mix.

Mix the dry ingredients

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered erythritol, salt, and baking soda. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Form the dough

  • Add the peanut butter and milk to the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick dough forms. It should be pliable and easy to roll.

Shape the cookies

  • Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball into a thick cookie shape using your fingers or the back of a fork.

Bake and cool

  • Bake the cookies on the center rack for 10 minutes. They may look slightly underdone when you take them out this is normal! Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet. They will firm up as they cool.

Notes

Simply Nourished Life’s Cooking Tips
Choose the right peanut butter: Look for natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oils. This keeps your cookies keto-friendly and enhances their rich, nutty flavor.
Customize your sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter cookie, you can add an extra tablespoon of powdered erythritol or sugar substitute.
Don’t skip the cooling step: These cookies need time to set after baking. Resist the urge to move or eat them while they’re still warm!
Variations, Leftovers & Storage
Ingredient swaps: Use almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor profile.
Add-ins: Mix in a handful of sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture.
Storage tips: Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
