What’s In these Peanut Butter Cookies without Salt?
I stock up on pantry staples with Thrive Market – they have a fantastic selection of healthy pantry items, natural beauty & home products, and great food finds for a fraction of grocery store prices! You can save 30% off your first order, and get a $60 free gift by signing up!
- Unsalted Peanut Butter: I love this unsalted peanut butter which has 0mg per serving. It’s great for these cookies, and also delicious for a quick sandwich or to make my favorite low sodium peanut noodles!
- Eggs – Eggs naturally contain about 65mg of sodium per large egg. We try to get cage free / free range eggs when we can. There isn’t any nutritional difference, but I always try to support animal welfare when I can!
- Granulated Sugar: I like this organic sugar for my recipes, I recommend organic sugar for cooking and baking.
The amazing thing about these cookies is that they are ready so quickly! I preheated the oven, and by the time it was ready, I had the dough made, formed, and the cookies ready on the baking sheet. Plus they use super friendly for those times when you haven’t been to the grocery store in a while. Perfect for rainy day baking.
What If I Don’t Have an Egg?
There are some fantastic pantry alternatives to an egg.
- Applesauce – substitute 1/4 of applesauce for each egg required in recipe.
- Flax ‘egg’ – a classic vegan baking hack, mix 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 2 tablespoons of water, let sit for 1 minute
- Corn Starch – mix 1 tablespoon corn starch with 3 tablespoons water for each egg in recipe

Save Money on Fresh Groceries & Pantry Staples!
I get all the fresh produce for my recipes from my garden and from Misfits Market – they sell organic produce at a discounted price, and it’s purchased direct from farmers to reduce food waste. We get Misfit boxes every other week and love picking out our favorite seasonal produce for delivery. You can save up to 40% off grocery store prices. If you think produce delivery is too expensive… think again, and give Misfits Market a try!Nutrition

Delicious
These were delicious and really easy. Good texture and very peanut buttery with a good amount of sweet. My husband is quite excited to be able to have cookies that don’t eat up too much of his sodium value for the day. He is eating one now. 🙂 I am looking forward to trying more recipes from this site. Thanks for posting this.
Hi Jen, thank you so much for rating! These cookies are also my husband’s favorites, they get requested (and made) quite often here. I’m so glad you enjoyed them.
