Ingredients

  • 250 grams (about 1 cup) natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 ounce cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 7 tablespoons (1/4C + 3T) granulated sweetener (I used Lakanto), more or less to taste
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a baking sheet by covering with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, cream cheese, vanilla, and butter.
  3. Add about half of the sweetener and mix to combine.
  4. Add remaining sweetener, coconut flour, egg, baking powder, and salt. Mix until dough is well combined.
  5. Divide dough into ~15 equally sized balls and arrange on your baking sheet about 1-2 inches apart. Flatten the balls using a fork to form a crosshatch pattern.
  6. Bake cookies for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow them to cool for ~5 minutes before serving.
