These Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies make a perfect snack or even dessert and the best thing is they are SUGAR-FREE! I don’t know about you but I get happy about sugar-free desserts! Mainly because I love sweet things! And I love eating sweet things! With these I CAN EAT THEM AND NOT FEEL BAD! And you want to know the coolest thing about these… my almost 12 year old daughter Ally created this recipe!
Something else I love about these Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies is that they actually hold their shape! It’s hard to find a sugar-free, low carb cookie that actually will stay firm. And that usually has to do with the lack of actual sticky sugar. With these, I use both Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener & the THM Gentle Sweet. I have found that using that by using both the sweeteners it helps to firm up cookies.
I also used THM Baking Blend in this recipe. I love it because it really gives you a lighter cookie instead of adding in more almond flour. And this also helps give your cookies a little more protein! The THM Baking Blend is something I always have in my pantry… its not only low carb but also a low fat baking blend.
When choosing peanut butter to make low carb desserts, you will want to look for peanut butter that is more natural without added sugar. In fact, it usually will only have more ingredient and that is peanuts. Sometimes it might have an oil or even salt but most of the natural peanut butter I have found is just ground peanuts. I don’t really have a specific brand.
Peanut Butter Cookies always have a certain look… they are flat with a crisscross look. To achieve this, you will roll each cooking into 1.5-2″ balls, roll the balls into the sugar-free sweetener, and then take a form and make a crisscross by pressing down into the cookie one way, switching directions and pressing down again. This is a fun cookie to get your kids to help you with.
Hope you enjoy this low carb peanut butter cookies! They are an S for my Trim Healthy Mama friends.

About to make these today and just wondering can I replace more gentle sweet for the mock fruit sweetener? They look amazing!
Yes you can use all Monkfruit if you’d like… you will need more than the Gentle Sweet.
Do you use the Monk Fruit Classic or Baking Sweetener?
I used the Golden Monkfruit for the dough and rolled them in Classic. I need to specify that in the recipe.
Can you freeze the dough balls and bake a few at a time?
I think that would work!
Is it possible to use an alternative to the monk fruit?
I have great success with your recipes and am looking forward to trying this one.
I’ve not tried it but Gentle Sweet or Swerve will work… I just don’t think they will be as firm.
Have you tried making these without the gentle sweet? I can’t use it as I’m allergic to stevia but would love a cookie I can actually enjoy.
No I have not… I am sorry. You could use Swerve.. I think that is straight erythitol.
Can you use any other sweetener besides the Monk fruit for example gentle sweet super sweet?
If you use super sweet use less by about 3/4. So instead of 1 cup you will use 1/4 to 1/3 cup of super sweet. I have not done it at all but let me know how it turns out. They probably will be softer cookies.
