Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) natural creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
  • 3/4 cup (75g) super-fine almond flour
  • 2/3 cup (130g) granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (85g) sugar-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add erythritol or monk fruit sweetener and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Add almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined; the dough will be soft but not runny.
  5. Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a fork or your fingers to about 1/2 inch thick.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look just set.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use natural peanut butter with just peanuts and salt. If the dough is too sticky, chill for 10 minutes before scooping. If too dry, add 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk. Let cookies cool completely before handling—they firm up as they cool. For nut-free, use sunflower seed butter and sunflower seed flour. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, refrigerate for a week, or freeze for up to 2 months.
