How To Make Soft Keto Peanut Butter Cookies
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.
Top Tips For Making
- 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 whatever your favorite is. Crunchy peanut butter works, too!

I recommend buying wine from Scout and Cellar, especially for lower carb or sugar and the health conscious. There’s no added sugar to these wines, and they’re all much lower in carbs, calories, and sugar. For me, there’s no headache or fogginess the next day!
There are a ton of delicious wines that pair well with sweets, and I like:
– Sauvignon Blanc, like 2019 Gallivant Sauvignon Blanc from Lake County, California
– Cabernet Sauvignon, like 2016 Bernhard Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
– Muscat Blanc, like 2019 Fiddleneck Muscat Blanc from Lake County, California
