Since these Keto Peanut Butter Cookies are fun and easy to make, they make a great activity to do with kids, even toddler-aged aspiring bakers. Plus, the batch makes a huge quantity, especially if you use a tablespoon size scoop as we did. We suggest using over a cup of crushed salted peanuts to roll them in. As a result, the texture and mouthfeel when biting into them is both mouth-watering and memorable. Our batch made 64 cookies.
Our inspiration was King Arthur Baking Company‘s recipe for Keto-Friendly Salty-Sweet Peanut Butter Cookies, via Melanie Wanders.

Even if you don’t eat low-carb, you are still going to love these cookies. We estimate each cookie is 110 calories and just 3 net carbs per cookie.

Keto Peanut Butter Cookies
1 (9 ounce) package King Arthur yellow keto cake mix
2 cups unsalted butter, softened
1 cup peanut butter, no sugar added
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups lightly-salted peanuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine cake mix and butter until smooth. Add peanut butter and egg. Mix on low speed until dough is uniform. Scoop by heaping tablespoon, then roll each into a ball. Then roll each into chopped peanuts, coating all sides. Next, place onto lined pans, about an inch apart. Bake cookies until bottoms are golden brown and tops are firm, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove cookies from oven and allow them to cool briefly before transferring them to rack to cool completely. Store in airtight containers and chill, then bring to room temperature before serving. Makes 64 cookies (or less if you make them bigger).
