Ingredients
1.5 cups creamy natural peanut butter (no sugar added)
0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
0.5 cup erythritol
1 large egg, room temperature
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the peanut butter, cocoa powder, erythritol, and egg in a large mixing bowl.
Stir the ingredients vigorously until a uniform, soft dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into smooth balls.
Place on the prepared tray and press each ball down slightly with the back of a fork to create a pattern.
Bake for exactly 9 minutes in the center of the oven.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
Ensure the peanut butter is strictly unsweetened to maintain keto compliance. Dutch-processed cocoa powder is recommended for a deeper chocolate flavor. Cool completely before moving, as these cookies are fragile when warm.
