2. PEANUT BUTTER: You can use smooth as well as crunchy peanut butter for the recipe. But better flavor comes from the smooth peanut butter.
3. SWEETENER: You can use sugar or sweetener or maple syrup or honey in this recipe. I have used Monk Fruit Sweetener. It tastes the same as granulated sugar and has 0 calories.
4. BAKING SODA: Baking Soda is added to give cookies a better crust and also helps in raising the cookies.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You can experiment with different flavors with the dough of peanut butter cookies. You can add Ginger Powder, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, etc. to the dough to give a little different flavor to the recipe.

Are these cookies Healthy?

Not all Peanut Butter Cookies are healthy as they have oil and sugar in them. But I tried to make a healthier version of peanut butter cookies. These cookies have no oil or butter and instead of sugar, I have added Monk Fruit. Monk Fruit Sweetener is made from the extract of monk fruit and it is natural. It tastes just like granulated sugar with 0 calories. Hence, these ingredients made the recipe healthy.

How to store these Cookies?

Once the Peanut Butter Cookies cool down completely, you can store them in Ziplocs or an air-tight container. Storing in Ziplocs keeps the cookies crispier for a longer time. When you store in an air-tight container, cookies may turn a little soft.
