    3 Ingredient Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cookies

    This is a simple cookie recipe that has just three ingredients!

    I should also mention that this is a flourless recipe which also tastes amazing (especially if you are a fan of peanut butter like I am!).

    Did you try my Keto No Bake Chocolate Cookies?

    That is another great tasting cookie that is easy to make.
    Both this 3 ingredient peanut butter cookie and that keto no bake chocolate cookie would go great together!

    To make this recipe you will need a sugar free or keto friendly peanut butter. You can find a great selection of peanut butter with no added sugar here.

    This recipe is for anyone asking are sugar free cookies really sugar free.

    I always answer a question such as this one by telling people that the recipe is only as sugar free as the ingredients that you put into it. That is, as long as you are using peanut butter with no added sugar and not adding any thing else that has or is sugar, then this should be a sugar free recipe.
    Read the ingredient list if you are unsure.

    Also, keep in mind that when you bake your own cookies, you have control over what goes into them.
    This is why I like to bake my own sugar free cookies rather than purchasing them.
    I know everything that goes into my cookies, including the sugar, when I bake them myself.

    Have you ever wondered why do you put fork marks on peanut butter cookies?

    Yes, those crisscrossed lines on top of most any peanut butter cookie is made using a fork.
    You simply take the fork and press it into the cookie, going in two directions, before baking the cookies.

    There may be a couple of reasons why these fork marks are added to the cookies.

    The crisscrossed markings on top of the cookies helps quickly identify the cookies as peanut butter cookies, which can be an important thing.
    There are also some folks who believe that the marks help the peanut butter cookie bake more evenly.

    Here are some tips for making peanut butter cookies.

    Yes, this cookie features peanut butter. However, you could always try making this cookie using another nut butter such as cashew butter (you may need to make a few adjustments or add an extra egg).

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. Using a granular sugar alternative that measurers 1:1 with sugar is essential to the success of this cookie. Feel free to sprinkle a bit of extra granular sugar alternative on top of the cookies to make.
    2. If you find that the fork is sticking to the dough when you are making your design on top of the cookies, there is a fix. Simply spray the fork with a bit of nonstick.
    3. It may be hard to tell that the cookies are done baking just by looking at them thanks to the color of the cookie. Check the bottom edges of the cookies for a golden color if in doubt.

    How to store peanut butter cookies.

    These cookies should be stored in an airtight container.
    If properly stored, they should keep for about a week.
    I have not tried this but, you can try freezing these cookies.
