[@charlesdarnay5455]

Some people are complaining that their cookies remain wet or crumbly after coming out of the oven. I had that problem with my first batch. I've learned two tips that help prevent that now: (1) bake for 20 minutes. 12 minutes doesn't seem to be long enough. (2) they must cool down completely before eating them. Resist the temptation to eat them warm out of the oven. They will fall apart. Let them come down to room temperature and then put them in the fridge for about an hour or two, or until they firm up.

[@BtotheCtotheH]

20 minutes is too long for me. Too dry and hard.

[@nativeamericanfeather9948]

I just baked them & omgoodness! I've been eating nothing but water,meat,cheese,& eggs.This is a great snack! I cooked them for about 15 mins.

Awesome recipe...THANK YOU for keeping it short and to the point! MUCH better then those drawn out videos that take 25+ mins to achieve the same result!! Cant wait to try this!

I added the two yolks as recommended - good call! I also added half a teaspoon of vanilla. I suggest trying that.

[@magdoc1192]

I watched this video while eating dinner, and then, a short time later, I was eating peanut butter cookies for desert. Yummy. Forking the batter before placing in the oven worked just fine. My cookies needed to cook for almost 20 minutes before they started to brown. The cookies are very delicate while cooling.

[@mironmrejko1]

Any tips?

I found using the Splenda or sugar twin brown sugar blend for the sweet er made a crispier cookie and also make them thinner that would help too

[@bluwtrgypsy]

Joe, I made these cookies using fresh ground peanut butter from the local co-op. They were fantastic. I added a tiny sprinkle of coconut palm sugar. I stored them in the freezer, which seemed to make them even better - nice and crunchy with great flavor. Of course I ate them in just a few days. Today I made more. This time almond butter (unfortunately in the jar) and I must say they do not compare to the fresh ground peanut butter. The almond cookies are so crumbly they fall apart and have so little flavor; real disappointing. Guess it wasn't meant to be (that is that I should take a rest and not pig out again). I believe the almond butter had too little oil in it, where the peanut butter had plenty. Thanks for such a great recipe.

[@michaelmorgan3910]

A couple of things after trying this recipe, it is a very simple recipe as stated, but I accidentally discovered this recipe will work with almond butter as well because I thought I was using peanut butter no sugar added of course, but it was almond butter that I had without realizing it. I also did not have a melon baller so I used a random scooper that seemed about right and ended up with cookies twice the size of the ones in the video, but in both cases, I put them in for 17 minutes and they came out beautifully tasty, also you are right that the two extra yolks make a difference.

[@paulcrescenti5581]

AS ADVERTISED hella easy! Using a leveled #70 Disher got ~28 cookies. I used a food scale (256 g PB, 100 g Erythritol). I think I spent more time waiting for the cookies to cool and putting them in a jar than I did making the recipe. (I made without the extra yolks, I missed the update). Result was fully approved by my Cookie Monster other half. (I also added some vanilla). Thanks once again for making a great "to the point" video (~2 min!) of this simple recipe that Keto cooks should all have in their toolbox.

[@candiedginger8729]

This recipe is similar to my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe before I went keto. The only difference is the sweetener. The texture of your cookies looks a little dry, I'm guessing the sugar substitute doesn't do the same thing chemistry wise that sugar does. Many people don't realize that cooking/baking is actually chemistry. The additional egg yolks are a good idea, as an alternative one could add a tablespoon or two of coconut oil, cream cheese or softened butter.

[@mrsnoopyaaaaa]

A little dry, AH NO, 1 BILLION% DRY!!!! Your wrong because I used organic sugar and its still dry as SHIT!!!

Did you use the powdered sugar swerve?

[@-greentoad]

D Hoosier Almost a year later reply, ha ha. I made also with Swerve. I just used with granulated. Not sure if the powdered kind works better. But when you use swerve alone you get a cooling effect. You can add stevia drops to help that. But I didn't this time. Had none. Lol. I would like to try with monkfruit.

[@cocot9414]

@@-greentoad it's funny you mention the cooling after effect. I've seen that comment many a times. Are you saying the stevia drops eliminate the cooling effect? How many drops to cups of sweve do you suggest?

[@Meghan800]

Coco T You can eliminate the cooling effect by dissolving the Swerve in water before you add it to your recipe. The extra moisture doesn’t work well in all recipes but it does get rid of the cooling effect! Xylitol apparently doesn’t have that effect, but I haven’t tried it.

[@geekmom5413]

I made these tonight. Used: Smucker’s natural pb, Swerve-powdered, a whole egg, a tiny pinch of salt, and an extra egg yolk. They are okay. Very dense. Better after they cooled. But honestly-when I mixed just the pb and swerve-I tasted the “batter” and it was amazing. Sadly, the cookies didn’t have much flavor to me after that. I’ll still eat them-cause ya know peanut butter is life, but next time I’ll just eat pb and swerve. 🤷🏻‍♀️
