Ingredients
  

  • ½ Cup Peanut Butter *all-natural PB only
  • 6 TB Powdered Sugar or swerve confectioners sweetener (sugar free)

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350. Combine ½ cup of all-natural peanut butter in a bowl with 6 TB of powdered sugar or powdered Swerve.

  • Squeeze and knead the ingredients with one hand until a dough forms. The mixture is too dry to use a spoon. Plus the warmth of your hand and the friction of mixing will soften the peanut butter.

  • Once the cookie dough is well mixed, scoop out cookies onto a baking tray.

  • Use a fork to create cross-hatch patterns on the cookie dough. Use your fingers to push the fork into the cookie dough.
    COOKIES DO NOT SPREAD!!! Shape them into your final shape now.

  • Bake for 12 minutes at 350. Let them cool completely before touching. They will be soft right out of the oven.

Notes

  • COOKIES DO NOT SPREAD!!! Shape them into whatever thickness & design you'd like before baking them.
  • The recipe above makes 2.5 cookies. Use the recipe multiplier to double or triple the recipe.
  • The ratio of powdered sugar to peanut butter matters! Too much powdered sugar and the dough will turn into sand. Not enough powdered sugar and the dough will pretty much just be peanut butter.
  • ONLY ALL-NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER WILL CREATE COOKIES. Traditional peanut butter with added oils and sugar will create fudge (not cookies).
