Best Keto Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe (2024)

What makes this keto peanut butter cookie recipe stand out from the rest is the two extra ingredients that most home kitchens have sitting in the pantry. Vanilla and shredded coconut. Just that little tweak makes all the difference.

Ingredients & Substitutes

The ingredients for keto peanut butter cookies are readily available in most grocery stores.

• Peanut Butter. Natural unsalted peanut butter is best with no additives like sugar or preservatives. This recipe calls for crunchy peanut butter as we like crunchy cookies.
• Finely Shredded Coconut. Only use unsweetened coconut. The shredded coconut adds the much-needed texture that other peanut butter cookie recipes lack.
• Sweetener. This recipe uses xylitol, but you can also use monk fruit, allulose, or erythritol.
• Eggs. Select large organic free-range eggs, they taste better, and the chickens live a better life.
• Vanilla extract. This is an optional ingredient, but it adds a little flavor touch that makes these cookies better.

How to Make Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

Step.1 Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 160C/320F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Step 2. Mix Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, add all ingredients and mix them together. Be sure to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 3. Form Cookies

Roll the mixture into heaped tablespoon-sized balls and press onto your cookie sheet. These cookies do not spread, so be sure to shape them into your desired size before baking and press with a fork or your fingers to create crunchy ridges. The ridgier (if that’s a word), the better.

Step 4. Bake

Bake in the oven for 12-18 minutes or until the tops of the cookies brown and the edges begin to harden. The cookies will firm up and get crunchy once cooled. Leave cookies to cool completely before enjoying them.

Recipe Tips

• Measure. Use a cookie scoop or a deep cooking tablespoon to measure cookie dough consistently.
• Variety. Add sugar-free chocolate chips to the mix or top with slivered almonds.
• Bulk make. Triple or even ten times the ingredients to make large batches for friends and family.

This keto peanut butter cookie recipe makes approximately 20 crunchy cookies. One serving is one cookie.
