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.
