Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies



So I tried out this recipe yesterday because my sweet tooth has been rather active after helping my dad make chocolate chip cookies on Sunday. My all time favorite cookies are peanut butter, and these will most definitely satisfy anyone's sweet tooth - plus they're actually pretty tasty! I added a bit more peanut butter, though, and my dough came out a bit moist, so putting coconut flour on your fork really helps it not stick for the criss-crossing. Oh, and mine did not raise in the oven, so be mindful that the size you form them will most likely stay while baking!

Anyway, I got the recipe Laura Hickman's blog, which you can find here !

Here's the recipe:
