- ½ teaspoon salt omit if using salted peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180° C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

- Roll or drop cookies into 2-inch dough balls onto your cookie sheet 2 inches apart.

Notes
- Confectioners' sugar works best in this keto peanut butter cookies recipe.
- Egg-Free option: Combine 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 5 tablespoons water, let sit for 10 minutes. Stir, and then add into the mixture when it calls for the eggs.
- Peanut-free Option: If you can't do peanuts, you can do almond butter or cashew butter. Just make sure it's sugar-free.
