Ingredients:

Instructions:
-
Blend Sweeteners, Butter, and Egg:
In a mixing bowl, blend together the brown Sugar Twin, Splenda sugar substitute, and butter until smooth. Then, add in the egg and continue mixing until well incorporated. -
Incorporate Peanut Butter:
Once the sweeteners, butter, and egg are combined, add in the peanut butter to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth consistency. -
Add Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the baking soda, salt, and vital wheat gluten to the mixture. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the dough, creating a uniform consistency. -
Form Cookie Dough Balls:
Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Shape the dough into small balls using your hands and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie. -
Press with Fork:
Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie ball to create a crisscross pattern on the top. This not only adds a decorative touch but also helps the cookies to bake evenly. -
Bake to Perfection:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until they are just lightly browned around the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking. -
Cool and Enjoy:
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. These Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies are best enjoyed with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
