Why These Cookies Are So Good
- These cookies are so ridiculously simple, but so delicious! With just 5 easy ingredients (mainly pantry staples) and in less than 30 minutes, and you’re in keto cookie heaven!
- This recipe is perfect if you’re on keto, but need a little extra fat to hit your daily macros. (Or you’re just in need of a sweet treat!)
How To Make Them
The full recipe & ingredients list are below, but here you’ll find a quick overview for making this recipe perfectly, along with useful tips and info!
Mix together all of the ingredients in a bowl until they form a soft dough.
Roll the dough into one inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Press down twice on the balls of dough with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern.
Bake in the oven until the edges are golden. The bottoms of the cookies should be browning, and the ripples where you made the criss-cross shouldn’t look shiny or like the dough is gooey.
Let the cookies cool completely before removing them from the parchment paper.
Chef’s Tips
- If you’re having trouble getting your dough to roll in balls or the dough is too sticky, pop the bowl of dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- We like this recipe best with no-stir, creamy organic peanut butter, but you can use your favorite peanut butter, whatever it is. Crunchy peanut butter works, too! See our post on Peanut Butter and the Keto Diet for recommendations.
