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
Additional
- 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (56g)
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: 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. These ingredients form the base flavor and help the cookies rise slightly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the creamy peanut butter and eggs to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until a smooth and sticky dough is formed, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips to add bursts of sweetness and texture throughout the dough.
- Shape Cookies: Using a spoon, drop approximately 1-inch balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart. Use damp fingers to smooth and slightly flatten each dough ball for even baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes. The cookies may appear slightly underdone right out of the oven, but they will continue to firm up as they cool. Avoid overbaking to keep them fudgy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack or serving. Enjoy the soft, rich fudgy texture!
Notes
- Use a sugar-free sweetener suitable for baking to keep the cookies keto-friendly.
- Substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for different flavors or nut allergies.
- Do not overbake; the cookies will firm up as they cool and you want to maintain that fudgy texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
- For a stronger chocolate flavor, use high-quality Dutch-process cocoa powder.
