Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This will help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine natural peanut butter, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.
- Add coconut flour to the peanut butter mixture, stirring continuously to create a consistent dough. The mixture should become slightly thick and hold together easily.
- Sift unsweetened cocoa powder into the mixture, ensuring no lumps remain. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Mix all ingredients until a uniform, moldable dough forms. If the mixture seems too dry, add a small amount of additional peanut butter. If too wet, incorporate a bit more coconut flour.
- Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, form the dough into 12 equal-sized balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently press down on each ball with a fork to create a classic crosshatch pattern, flattening them slightly into cookie shapes.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow cookies to firm up and set.
- Remove from refrigerator and serve. Store remaining cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing and a smoother dough consistency.
- Choose a natural peanut butter with no added sugars to keep the recipe truly keto-friendly.
- If your dough seems too crumbly, add a tiny bit of melted coconut oil to help bind the ingredients.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of sugar-free dark chocolate chips or a dash of cinnamon.
- Ensure your coconut flour is well-sifted to prevent lumpy texture.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and professional-looking cookies.
- Chilling the cookies is crucial for achieving the perfect texture, so don't skip the refrigeration step.
- For best results, store cookies in a single layer to prevent sticking.
