- Flatten each ball with a fork.

Tips & Substitutions
For a softer texture, consider adding an extra tablespoon of water. If you prefer a nutty flavor, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with almond flour. Make sure to use a smooth variety of lo-cal peanut butter for best results. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, try using a gluten-free flour blend instead.
Serving Suggestions
These sugarless peanut butter cookies are delightful on their own, but you can serve them alongside a glass of almond milk or with fresh fruit for a light dessert. They also pair wonderfully with a warm cup of herbal tea. For a more indulgent treat, consider serving them with a scoop of vanilla yogurt or ice cream.

Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular sugar instead of artificial sweetener?
Yes, you can substitute regular sugar for the artificial sweetener, but be mindful that it will change the calorie content. Typically, you would use about 3/4 cup of sugar in place of the 1/2 cup of sweetener, as sugar is sweeter by volume.
What can I use instead of cooking oil?
If you prefer not to use cooking oil, you can substitute it with melted coconut oil or unsweetened applesauce for a lower-fat version. Both options will maintain the moisture in the cookies while altering the flavor slightly.
How can I make these cookies more chocolatey?
To add a chocolate flavor, consider mixing in some sugar-free cocoa powder or using sugar-free chocolate chips. You can start with 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and reduce the flour slightly to maintain the dough consistency.
