These delicious peanut butter cookies are low-carb, sugar-free, and absolutely delicious! However, baking these low-carb peanut butter cookies can be quite costly. In fact, the last time I made them, they cost me $2800! You probably think I'm joking, but I'm not.

As usual, I had my furry friends (Mr. Whiskers and Winston) in the kitchen, begging for a sample of the sugar-free cookies that I was baking.
Since dogs are known to love peanut butter, I happily obliged. Within thirty minutes, Winston began vomiting, and I had to rush them both to the animal hospital.
$2800 later, I learned that dogs can't digest sweeteners. Sweeteners, it turns out, are actually very toxic to dogs, who knew?
So, enjoy these low-carb peanut butter cookies, but please don't share them with your dogs. On a side note, cats are not affected in the same way.

Made these for the first time today and I'll make them again. They are tasty and my picky husband liked them also. Thanks for sharing your story about the dogs too, had no idea.

These sound interesting. I will try them and see how they turn out!
I am so sorry about your pups! Are they totally fine? I have heard dogs can die from ingesting sweeteners. So glad you got them to the vet in time. $2,800.00 is a very expensive lesson!

Thanks, Kelly. Yes, it was quite stressful for a few days around here. So glad I took them in and that they were able to make a full recovery. As Scott said: "It's only money..."
