This is my second keto-friendly dessert recipe to share, and I’m really excited for you to try it. I was thrilled when I only used one bowl to mix everything and it only has 4 ingredients. (Score!!)
Technically the vanilla extract is optional, but I decided to add it to the cookies to enhance the flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions for the Keto Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe:
Q: What is the best sweetener to use for this keto peanut butter cookie?
