How to Make Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Prep two cookie sheets by greasing them, spraying them with nonstick spray, or lining them with parchment paper. I prefer using parchment paper because it makes cleanup very easy. The cookies won’t stick to the baking pan.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, Splenda or monk fruit, and egg. You can use either an electric mixer or a spoon. The batter should be very creamy and smooth.
-
Using a teaspoon, scoop out some batter and roll it in a ball. Place it on the baking sheet and flatten with the back of a fork. Use a spoon if you don’t want the hash marks. I make some with and some without them for visual appeal.
-
Continue like this, arranging the cookies on the baking sheet, spacing them an inch or two apart.
-
Bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Allow the cookies to cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Homemade Sugar Free PB Cookies
It seems sugar is in everything these days. Even when my kids eat lots of healthy foods, they still get lots of sugar. So, sometimes, I’ll make these sugar free peanut butter cookies for a high protein dessert without sugar. I only buy and use palm oil free peanut butter.
I bake all of our desserts from scratch since learning my son has a palm oil allergy and palm oil intolerance. Because of this, we avoid most all store-bought cookies. While we have found some cookies without palm oil, most contain it. In addition, they are loaded with sugar and lots of chemical preservatives.
There’s nothing better than baking desserts and cookies at home. You know exactly what’s going into whatever you make. It gets easier the more you do it and when you have baking staples on hand. In the case of making peanut butter cookies, I’ve experimented a lot and have lots of different recipes.
We all need a treat now and then. I like baking cookies because they store easily and are easy to portion out. They are a nice after school snack and when you want to eat a dessert but don’t want lots of sugar. This is the recipe that will have them coming back for more again and again. (As if you need to encourage anyone to eat more cookies!)
Don’t eat this cookie dough batter raw. It contains egg. Edible cookie dough will not contain egg.
