Expert Tips For Best Results

• Use Natural Peanut Butter: Opt for natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oils to keep the cookies keto-friendly and maintain a smooth, creamy texture.
• Measure Accurately: Ensure precise measurements of the peanut butter, sweetener, and egg for consistent dough and cookie texture.
• Mix Thoroughly: Mix the ingredients until the dough is smooth and well combined. This helps ensure even distribution of the sweetener and a uniform texture.
• Spoon and Level Sweetener: When measuring your keto-friendly sweetener, spoon it into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife to avoid over-packing and altering the sweetness.
• Chill the Dough: If the dough is too soft to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to make it easier to roll into balls.
• Flatten Evenly: Flatten each dough ball evenly with a fork to create the classic crisscross pattern, ensuring even baking.
• Monitor Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the cookies as they bake; they can go from perfectly golden to overdone quickly. They should be lightly golden on the edges.
• Cool on the Baking Sheet: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them firm up and prevents breaking.
• Store Properly: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
