FAQs
Can I use a different sweetener instead of vanilla stevia?
Yes, any liquid low carb sweetener can be used as a substitute. Just adjust the amount to your taste to maintain the desired sweetness.
Do these cookies need to be refrigerated?
Yes, refrigeration keeps them firm and prevents melting, especially because of the peanut butter and butter content. They are best served cold or at room temperature shortly after taking them out of the fridge.
