Sugar Free Nut Butter Cookie
This cookie is naturally free of gluten, dairy, and it uses erythritol instead of sugar.
- 1 Cup natural unsweetened peanut butter or almond butter
- 3/4 Cup erythritol or lakanto crystals
- 2 organic egg whites
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Drop 1 teaspoon cookies onto baking pan. Press with back of fork. Bake at 325 on stoneware pans for aprox 17 minutes. If baking on metal pans, start checking at 11 minutes. These will need to cool completely before being removed from pans. If you remove them when they are still warm, they will crumble, so let them set.
This is a simple recipe, and it’s delicious. What no one will know is that you skipped the sugar for a zero calorie alternative, leaving a high protein, low calorie sweet that can serve as a granola bar while tasting like dessert. Erythritol is a sugar alcohol. Taken in small amounts for occasional dessert, this has been approved, but excess consumption can lead to stomach discomfort and/or digestion issues.
