Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter Opt for a brand with minimal ingredients (just peanuts and salt).
  • 1/2 cup sugar substitute Like erythritol or stevia, choose one that suits your taste preference.
  • 1 large egg Fresh eggs are best for binding all ingredients.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Use pure vanilla extract for a rich aroma and flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda This helps the cookies rise slightly.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips Use sugar-free for a chocolatey twist.
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts Like walnuts or pecans for added crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and the sugar substitute. Mix using a spatula or electric mixer for about 2 minutes until creamy and smooth.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
  4. Sprinkle in the baking soda, mixing gently until just combined.
  5. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball with a fork for a crisscross pattern.
Baking
  1. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and lightly golden.
  2. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze raw cookie dough for later use. For a gluten-free option, ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free. Add cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
