⭐ Ingredients (Makes 18–20 cookies)
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (no sugar added)
- 1 cup granular sugar substitute (Swerve, Monkfruit, or Allulose)
- 1 egg
- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: a pinch of salt (if using unsalted peanut butter)
🥣 Instructions

In a bowl, combine peanut butter, sweetener, egg (and vanilla, if using).
Mix until smooth and thick.
2. Scoop & shape
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Flatten gently with a fork to create the classic crosshatch pattern.
3. Bake
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes.
Cookies will be soft when they come out — let them cool fully to set.
