Ingredients needed

You’ll love the basic and simple ingredient list to make these cookies. If you’ve made any of my sugar free desserts before, you probably have everything on hand. Here is what you’ll need: 

· Peanut butter or almond butter. The creamy option with no added sugar. Any creamy nut or seed butter works. 

Sugar substitute. Either any granulated sugar substitute, brown sugar substitute, or powdered sugar substitute. 

Egg. Room temperature. 

Step 1- Make the dough

Start by creaming together the peanut butter, sugar substitute and egg until a thick and sticky dough remains. Be sure to mix everything very well, to ensure the peanut butter is completely immersed.

Step 2 - Use a cookie cutter for any holiday

Step 3- Bake the cookies

Next, using a cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the dough and place them on a lined baking sheet. Press down on the balls of dough into a thick cookie shape. 

Step 4- Let them set

Finally, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely. These cookies may look a little soft once taken out of the oven but they firm up beautifully as they cool down. 

Decorate and Enjoy!
