Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener (127g)
- 1/3 cup Dutch cocoa powder (27g)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda (3g)
- 1/4 tsp salt (1.5g)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened creamy peanut butter or nut/seed butter of choice (128g)
- 2 large eggs
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (56g)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar-free sweetener, Dutch cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, stirring well to evenly distribute all dry components.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the unsweetened creamy peanut butter and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until a smooth, sticky dough forms with no lumps.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the sugar-free chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring an even distribution throughout.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop approximately 1-inch diameter balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart. Then, moisten your fingers slightly and smooth each dough ball, flattening them gently to shape.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 7-8 minutes. Keep in mind the cookies may appear undercooked initially but will firm up as they cool. Avoid over-baking to maintain fudgy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before enjoying your decadent keto treat.
Notes
- Use a powdered sweetener that measures like sugar for best texture.
- Substitute peanut butter with any other creamy nut or seed butter to accommodate allergies or preferences.
- Do not over-bake to keep the fudgy consistency intact.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
