Before I lost 125 pounds I always loved cookies of all kinds – chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, and definitely classic peanut butter cookies. If I had cookies in the house I would practically inhale them.
Now, that I eat healthier and practice calorie control, I created one of the best (I think) sugar free peanut butter cookie recipes without butter. You can customize it to suit your taste by using almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, or adding chocolate chips or chopped peanuts for a delicious nutty flavor.

How to Make Vegan Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cookies
Good news! You can make this easy sweet treat with just 7 ingredients and have healthy sugar free cookies in minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Mix together– In stand mixer with a paddle attachment, a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, or by hand, mix together the natural peanut butter, monk fruit sweetener or your favorite sugar substitute, plant-based milk, and vanilla.
- Combine Ingredients – add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Add baking soda, baking powder, flour, and salt if you’re using it. Stir the ingredients thoroughly until a consistent cookie dough forms.
- Refrigerate – Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes to allow it to firm up.
- Scoop– Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each for spreading. Using the tines of a fork make a crisscross pattern and flatten the cookie dough. This pattern is optional but it adds a classic look and also helps the cookies bake evenly.
- Optional – If you want a boost of sweetness, sprinkle a little regular monkfruit sweetener on top of the cookies. It will give you the crackle appearance that you see in my photos.
- Bake – place your soon to be favorite cookies in the preheated oven and bake cookies for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Cool- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your sugar-free vegan peanut butter cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for freshness

How Many Carbs in Peanut Butter Cookies?
The exact number of carbs in a traditional peanut butter cookie can vary based on the specific recipe and ingredients used. However, here’s a general estimate.
A standard-sized peanut butter cookie (about 3 inches in diameter) typically contains approximately 10 to 15 grams of total carbohydrates. This estimate includes carbs from ingredients such as flour, sugar, and peanut butter.
For a more accurate carb count, it’s essential to refer to the nutrition information provided in the recipe or on the packaging of specific ingredients, especially if you have dietary restrictions or are following a specific diet plan.
These healthy peanut butter cookies have approximately 84 calories, 3 protein, 7 carbs, 5.5 fat, 1 fiber, 6 net carbs.

Can I Freeze These Dairy Free Peanut Butter Cookies?
Yes! If you want to store cookies for an extended period, you can freeze them. Place cookies in a freezer-safe container, separated by parchment paper and freeze for up to 3 months in airtight bags. Thaw at room temperature when ready to eat.
If you are not freezing then the best way to keep your peanut butter cookies fresh and maintain their quality, is to store them in an airtight container. This helps prevent moisture from getting in and keeps the cookies from becoming stale. Peanut butter cookies are often fine when stored at room temperature. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Pro Tip: Place a slice of bread in with the cookies to keep them from drying out. Also, do not refrigerate cookies because this can cause them to dry out.
