Ingredients
- ⅔ cup powdered peanut butter (PB2 or similar)
- ⅓ cup water
- ½ cup baking sweetener of choice
- 1 egg
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Mix the Peanut Butter: In a bowl, mix powdered peanut butter with water until a thick paste forms.
- Add Sweetener & Salt: Stir in the baking sweetener and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Incorporate the Egg: Add the egg and mix until smooth. The dough will be slightly runny.
- Form the Cookies: Drop spoonfuls onto the baking tray, shaping them into cookies (they won’t spread much).
- Bake: Bake for 10-13 minutes. Cookies will be soft but firm up as they cool.
- Cool & Set: Let cool for 5 minutes, then refrigerate for 40 minutes for the best chewy texture.
