Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup PB2 or powdered peanut butter

Instructions

Prep Your Kitchen: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the powdered peanut butter, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt until there are no clumps.
Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the liquid egg whites and sugar-free syrup. Stir with a sturdy spoon.
Adjust the Consistency: Add water one teaspoon at a time until you have a thick, slightly sticky dough that holds its shape.
Form the Cookies: Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough onto the parchment paper. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to gently press each mound down into a flat circle.
The Classic Look: Use a fork to press a crisscross pattern into the top of each cookie.
Bake: Slide the tray into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are firm but the centers are still soft.
Rest and Serve: Let the cookies sit on the hot pan for at least five minutes to set before moving them.

Notes

Don’t overbake! Low-calorie treats can dry out quickly if they stay in the heat too long. For a chocolate version, add a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the dry mix. If the cookies feel too dry, add an extra teaspoon of sugar-free syrup to the next batch for more moisture.
