Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (smooth and creamy, unsweetened) Do not use runny peanut butter; chill it in the fridge if necessary.

- ½ cup Low-carb sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit) Choose your preferred sweetener.

- Scoop out small balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Flatten each ball gently with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
