Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups (168 g / 5.9 oz) almond flour
  • 1 cup (120 g / 4.2 oz) peanut flour
  • 3 tbsp (21 g / 0.74 oz) coconut flour
  • 1 tsp (4 g / 0.14 oz) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3 g / 0.11 oz) salt
  • 1 cup (256 g / 9 oz) creamy, unsweetened peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup (170 g / 6 oz) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g / 7.1 oz) granular stevia or equivalent keto-friendly sweetener
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (50 g / 1.76 oz) granular stevia, for rolling (optional)
  • Pro-Tips for Perfect Cookies
  • Ensure your butter, eggs, and peanut butter are at room temperature for a smoother, more uniform dough.
  • For a soft and chewy center, pull the cookies from the oven when the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown. They will continue to set as they cool on the baking sheet.
  • Use a creamy, natural, unsweetened peanut butter where the only are peanuts and salt. Avoid brands with added sugars or oils.
  • If your dough feels too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. This will make it much easier to roll into balls.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  3. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry : almond flour, peanut flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Set aside.
  6. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, 1 cup (240 ml) of stevia, and peanut butter until light and fluffy.
  7. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet , mixing on low speed until just combined.
  9. Do not overmix.
  10. Scoop the dough using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop and roll into balls. If using, roll each ball in the optional 1/4 cup (960 ml) of stevia for a sweet, crisp coating.
  11. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently press down on each ball with the back of a fork to create a classic crosshatch pattern.
  12. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still be soft.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
