Really really dry. Somewhat moist in the middle but dry everywhere else. Waited 7 hours to slice and it just crumbled. Tastes ok, not especially peanut buttery as the previous post mentioned. May try again with cooking time cut by 5 min.
Meg says
A little disappointed in this but maybe due to the PB I used? I used Smucker's Natural PB, which is basically ground up peanuts. It turned out a little weird...too eggy a texture and surprisingly lacking in peanut butter flavor. Would a different PB have been better?
Marci Olmstead says
I am worried that it has no "flour" in it. I have reread over and over, hope it's not a typo. Just whipped it up and crossing my fingers. ?. Sounds amazing.
Alex Lester says
Nope, no flour. Hope you enjoyed it!
Barb Ruka says
The nutritional facts - is that the whole 8" cookie?
Jeff says
Chocolate chips are NEVER optional! 🙂
Tori McFadden says
How many slices are we looking at? Is it 7g of carbs per slice? Do we have to let it cool?
Ailsa says
Oh I have to try this. NO almond or other keto-friendly flour? Amazing. It reads like a magic trick. Looks fabulous, and who doesn't love peanut butter? Thanks!
