Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar-free sweetener (127g)
- ⅓ cup Dutch cocoa powder (27g)
- ½ tsp baking soda (3g)
- ¼ tsp salt (1.5g)
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsweetened creamy peanut butter or nut/seed butter of choice (128g)
- 2 large eggs
Add-ins
- ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (56g)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar-free sweetener, Dutch cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to blend the dry components evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the unsweetened peanut butter and eggs to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until a smooth, sticky dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated without lumps.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon, scoop approximately 1-inch balls of dough and place them about 3 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Use damp fingers to smooth and slightly flatten each dough ball for even baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes. They may appear slightly underdone when you first take them out; this is normal as they will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a plate. Enjoy your fudgy, flourless keto cookies!
Notes
- Do not overbake the cookies; they should be soft when removed from the oven to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Use a powdered sweetener that measures like sugar for best results.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or other nut/seed butters, but this may alter flavor slightly.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- These cookies are naturally gluten-free and low in carbs, making them suitable for keto and low-carb diets.
