Introduction:

Are you craving some tasty cookies while on your keto journey? Look no further! These keto chocolate peanut butter cookies are not only incredibly delicious, but they’re also low in carbs and guilt-free. Satisfy your sweet tooth while staying on track with your keto diet.

Ingredients:

– 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened)

– 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or preferred keto-friendly sweetener

– 1 large egg, room temperature

– 1/2 tsp baking soda

– 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

– 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

– A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, erythritol or sweetener of choice, egg, baking soda, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until you have a smooth and consistent batter. The dough should not be too sticky and should easily roll into balls.

3. Scoop up about a tablespoon of dough and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Place it onto the prepared baking sheet and gently press down with a fork to create a crisscross pattern. Repeat with the remaining dough, making sure to leave enough space between each cookie as they will expand while baking.

4. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 8-12 minutes or until they slightly crisp around the edges. Keep in mind that these keto cookies are more fragile than regular ones, so let them cool completely on the baking sheet before moving or serving.

5. Enjoy your delicious keto chocolate peanut butter cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the fridge for up to two weeks.
