Calories: 129kcal
Equipment
- 2 large baking sheets
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Butter softened
- ⅓ cup Smooth peanut butter
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar Substitute
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar Substitute
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ½ cup Superfine Almond Flour
- ½ cup Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
- ¼ cup Coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Xanthan gum
- ¼ teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
- In stand mixer - or in a large bowl if using an electric mixer - cream butter, peanut butter, and sugar substitutes until fluffy.
- Add eggs, milk, and vanilla, beat until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
- In a separate, large bowl, mix together remaining ingredients.
- Slowly add this dry ingredients mix to the mixer bowl, and carefully mix until well incorporated and smooth.
- Cover dough with plastic wrap, chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F, line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll 1" balls out of the cookie dough, or use an ice cream scoop. You want to get 16 cookies from the batch.
- Arrange dough balls on baking sheets leaving at least 2" between cookies - they flatten out a fair amount.
- Gently press the tops of each slightly - flatten JUST enough to prevent the dough from rolling.
- Gently press the tops of each cookie lightly with a fork, forming a crisscross pattern.
- Bake peanut butter cookies for 11-13 minutes. Cookies will look puffy, but flatten out as they cool. Do not over bake!
- Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before removing from cookie sheet. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
6 grams of carbs per cookie come from sugar alcohols. Add the 1 gram of fiber, and you're left with 3 net grams of carbs per cookie!
