After browsing similar, simple peanut butter cookie recipes on Pinterest (and of course doing a little bit of research), I decided that I would not refer to these cookies as a "keto-friendly recipe." There are all sort of debates over peanut butter and artificial sweeteners (very few in both food categories are scientifically keto-approved). These cookies are, however, low in carbs--I would say about 60% lower in carb count than the average cookie.
Did I mention that they're only THREE ingredients?! I think that's what excited me the most! I baked these last night when I was craving something sweet and just one cookie not only fit my macro count for the day, but it truly hit the spot! Recipe is posted below!!

| Recipe yields 10-12 cookies |
2 large eggs
1/4 Cup Truvia. This could easily be 1/4-1/2 C depending on what kind of sweetener you're using. Truvia is really sweet, so 1/4 was plenty!
1 Cup natural peanut butter
Directions:
Using a mixer, mix all of your ingredients together until well-blended. Roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes or until the cookies are browned.
Let them cool for about 5 minutes before eating!
Within an hour, half the plate was gone. I had one, and then Eric and Vaught devoured these babies. They really are amazing!!!
Nutrition:
Based on the ingredients I personally used, these are the macros for each cookie in a 12-cookie batch.
Each cookie yields:
131 calories
9.4 grams carbs
11 grams fat
5.7 grams protein
