1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. This ensures that your cookies won’t stick and will come out with a perfect golden bottom.
2. Combine Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the natural crunchy peanut butter, Swerve natural sweetener, and the egg. Using a hand mixer, blend these ingredients until they form a smooth, consistent dough.
3. Form Dough Balls
Roll the dough into small balls, about an inch in diameter. Place these dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
4. Create Crisscross Pattern
Using a fork, press down gently on each ball to create a crisscross pattern. This not only gives the cookies their classic look but also helps them bake evenly.
5. Bake Cookies
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for about 12 minutes, or until they are golden.
6. Cool Cookies
Once the cookies are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the lined pan for about 10 minutes.
7. Store Cookies
Store any leftover cookies in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Use natural, unsalted peanut butter and consider freshly roasted and ground peanuts for the best flavor.
Be precise, especially with leavening agents; use a scale for flour to prevent overpacking and dense cookies.
Room temperature butter around 65-67 degrees Fahrenheit helps to cream properly with sugar for a light texture.
Make a crisscross pattern with a fork dipped in sugar or flour for even baking and classic appearance.
Mix dry and wet ingredients until just combined to prevent overmixing and tough cookies.
