Finally, a real, Low-Carb Peanut Butter Cookie!

    I've had a hankering for some cookies lately.

    Not the low-carb kinds that taste like a cake-ie instead of a cook-ie.  ☺

    I tried a peanut butter cookie recipe that was raved about on the internet, but the texture was all wrong:  eggy, cakey.  Not what I was looking for.

    So.  I blame Trim Healthy Mama for all of this, because before using THM, I didn't really adapt recipes.  I might add an ingredient or leave an ingredient out once in a while, but mixmaster I was not.

    Until now.  Now, it's almost an everyday occurrence, to tweak recipes to make them work for my personal tastebuds, which sometimes can be fussy.

    Here's my version of a delicious, peanut butter cookie that actually has the texture of a real cookie.

    Yummy goodness!  I know you're gonna enJOY this recipe!

Low-Carb Peanut Butter Cookies ("S" recipe for Trim Healthy Mamas)

Picture
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/3 cup erythritol or Truvia, plus additional
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp. butter, softened
  • 6 Tbsp. sugar-free vanilla syrup (DaVinci or Torani)
  • 1 cup no-sugar, natural peanut butter
  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • Optional:  Polaner Sugar-Free Raspberry Preserves
  • Optional:  3/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips or chunked up no-sugar Skinny Chocolate or Lily's Chocolate bars
  • Optional:  2 Tbsp. cocoa powder (reduce almond flour by 1 Tbsp.)

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper, or use a Silpat baking sheet on top of cookie sheets.

    Combine all ingredients in medium-to-large sized bowl by hand, or with hand mixer. 

    Place heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto the parchment paper or Silpat baking sheet.  Place two additional tablespoons of erythritol or Truvia into a small dish.  With a glass or cup, flatten tablespoons of dough with oiled bottom of glass dipped in erythritol/Truvia. 

    Bake for 8 minutes; rotate cookie trays and bake for an additional 4-10 minutes until golden brown on edges.  Let cool on cookie sheets; remove and store in sealed container.

    Want to make jelly thumbprints or peanut-butter-chocolate, or peanut butter chocolate chip cookies?  Just use the optional ingredients as desired to change up the recipe for yourself!
    Makes approximately 24 cookies (1 cookie per serving):  11.9 grams fat and 2.4 net grams of carbs.

Oh - These look perfect! I'll wait til the first of the month to use 2 cups of almond flour - I have it today but want it to last for my mim! Looks awesome!

I understand you wanting to hold out with the almond flour. It's expensive! If you are in Portland sometime, you might want to consider going to Bob's Red Mill outlet in Milwaukee. In their open bins of flours, their almond flour is at least half the price of what I pay in our grocery stores here. It seems like it's around $5.50 per pound instead of $10. Nice! I keep a big bag of it in the freezer so it will last me between trips to the big city. :)

About your Almond Flour ~ is there a difference grinding up almonds in my Blend Tec vs buying Almond Flour? I find using my Blend Tec is cheaper.

Thanks in advance for your reply. Enjoy the rest of your Thursday.

Hi, Karen, feel free to make your own almond flour in your BlendTec. You may find that the grind/texture may not be quite as fine as the Honeyville or Bob's Red Mill brands, but if you're satisfied with it, that's what matters. :)

Could I use vanilla extract instead of the sugar free vanilla syrup and maybe increase the sweetner amount? I've never found a flavored sugar free syrup that was sweetened with stevia and I prefer not to use splenda.

Debra, I haven't personally tried this syrup yet, but it's worth a shot:

It's sweetened with stevia and lo haun, and is low carb.

I would like to know, too. I would like to make these today without waiting for an order to arrive from Amazon. ;) Can you sub vanilla extract??

Reply
Julieanne link
9/21/2013 05:27:15 pm

The problem with only subbing vanilla extract is that it won't be enough moisture like with the 6 Tbsp. of DaVinci syrup. You wouldn't want to add 6 Tbsp. of vanilla to this recipe! Yikes. However, you may have other options, like THM-style pancake syrup, or something like that, which you can add instead.

Has anyone tried subbing in defatted peanut flour in place of actual peanut butter? Either partial or full amount? I was just thinking this might allow a person to have two guilt free cookies :)

Reply
Julieanne link
9/21/2013 05:28:58 pm

It would certainly be worth a try! I would use enough defatted peanut flour mixed with small amounts of water to equal the peanut butter amount called for in the recipe. If you try this, please let us know how it turns out!
