What Sugar Can I Use in These Refined Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Cookies?
For these sugar-free cookies, I used Truvia sweetener. I attempted a batch using baking Stevia and they turned out horrible so I do not recommend it! You should be able to use any other granulated sweetener replacement, such as Swerve, but you may want to cut back on the sweetener if you do a batch and find them too sweet.

How to make Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
The ingredients and directions couldn’t be simpler for this recipe. Here’s how to whip up your easy and tasty cookies in no time at all:
Prepare
Fire up your oven and let it preheat fully. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Mix
Using an electric hand-mixer, beat together the peanut butter, Truvia and salt. Add in the egg and beat again until the mixture forms a dough.
Bake
Drop heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet and press them out with a fork. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until set.
Enjoy
For crispier cookies, let them cool completely on the pan. For softer cookies, let them cool partly on the pan and the rest of the way on a cooling rack. DEVOUR!

Are these sugar-free peanut butter cookies keto-friendly?
Yes, they are! When in the keto diet you try to bring down your intake of carbohydrates to the lowest amount possible to bring your body in ketosis. This will enable your body to burn down fat instead of glucose for energy thereby making you lose weight while still keeping you active. By using low-carb and keto-friendly ingredients like almond flour, granulated monk fruit, and no-sugar-added peanut butter, you cut down on unwanted calories, which you try to limit in the keto diet.
Why are my peanut butter cookies crumbling?
There are only two reasons your peanut butter cookies are crumbling. First, you baked them in the oven too long. This dries up the cookies of their moisture and you’ll end up with crumbly cookies. Second, you used too much flour, which absorbs a lot of liquid. You might think that the dough looks too wet at the beginning and you added more flour. To fix this just add a teaspoon of water to your dough until it attains the correct consistency.

Can I use a different kind of nut butter for this recipe?
Yes, you can. Aside from peanut butter probably the next best thing you can use is almond butter. It has the same nutty flavor as peanut butter but is great when you have allergies to peanuts. Keep in mind that almond butter has slightly more carbs than regular peanut butter but is still great for keto and low-carb baking.
Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Cookies Storage
These cookies last well when stored in the fridge or freezer. If you plan to store them in the fridge, I recommend placing them in an airtight container. They will keep well in the fridge for up to a week. If you want to freeze them, go for it! Simply place the cookies in an airtight container or freezer-style Ziploc bag and label it with the date you made them. Place them in the freezer and they will keep for up to three months.
