Since my husband has started a Keto diet, I have been making him some yummy treats to enjoy once in a while. These Keto Peanut Butter Cookies are one of his favorites. They are simple to make, gluten free and so good, even my kids like them. You'll also love these Keto Cookie Recipes for Christmas.

Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

I bake a lot of cookies, but these are unique. For one, since they are keto cookies, they are not made with any flour. But don't worry, you won't miss it! If you love rich peanut butter flavor, then you will flip for these keto peanut butter cookies.

To give these low carb cookies a hint of sweetness, you can use liquid stevia. To make these cookies, you will mix the liquid stevia with peanut butter, cream cheese, eggs and vanilla extract. The cookie dough will be somewhat sticky. A good tip I have found is to use a little coconut oil on your hands while forming the cookie balls. This will help keep the dough from sticking to your hands.

I like to use a parchment paper lined baking sheet when I bake, since it makes clean up so easy and you don't have to worry about food sticking.

Roll and place 1 inch sized cookie balls onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Use a fork to flatten the cookie balls with a crisscross design that is popular on peanut butter cookies. Since these keto peanut butter cookies will not expand when cooked, there is no need to leave a lot of space between the cookies.

When the cookies are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them on a cooling rack to cool.
