Those are the sweet sweet memories that bring a smile to my face. Being a peanut butter addict brought on many fears w hike entering into my keto journey . But I quickly learned while it may not be what some consider "strict keto" ; I could continue to enjoy it in moderation .  The following is a recipe for KETO FRIENDLY peanut butter cookies. Hope you enjoy !

Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter (no sugar added)
1/2 cup granular erythritol

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Before using granular erythritol some like to make it finer by blending but this is not required. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Now make 1 inch balls with your cookie dough. Press down with fork if you'd like that iconic pbcookie look . Bake for 10-15 minutes or until edges begin to brown . Cool on baking rack if available .  Welcome to keto cookie heaven :)
