Does anything really sound better than keto peanut butter chocolate chip cookies?!

Not really, no. I am a huge chocolate and peanut butter fan, and to be honest, I have to be careful with these and portion them out one a day. They are really that good.

I’ve spent a lot of time on this recipe trying out different ingredients and amounts. Actually, I’ve made a lot more batches than strictly necessary and enjoyed it immensely. That being said, I really think this recipe is just about perfect.

It’s my favorite peanut butter chocolate chip cookie keto style recipe. Not too cakey, not too soft, not too sweet, but just right. There’s a variation I’ll suggest later if you prefer it slightly different. However, I challenge you to make the recipe as written and see if it’s not absolutely fabulous.

Hint, it is.

But let’s get started. What do you need to make this low carb peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe?

🍽 Equipment

• large and medium-sized bowls
• whisk
• a spatula
• measuring cups and spoons
• blender or stand or hand-held mixer
• baking sheets/pans
• silicone mats or parchment paper

🥘 Ingredients in keto chocolate chip peanut butter cookies

• 2 cups finely ground almond flour
• 3/4 cup powdered sweetener
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup peanut butter (no sugar added)
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2-4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk, if needed
• 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips

🔪 Instructions

As with any recipe, to begin get out the equipment and all the ingredients so they’re close at hand.

First, preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper.

Second, move to the dry ingredients. Whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium to large-sized bowl. Set that aside for the moment.

Next, take another large bowl and with a hand-mixer mix together the peanut butter, sweetener, egg, coconut oil, and vanilla.

Cake-cookie variation

If you prefer a more cake-like cookie, use two eggs instead of one.

💭 Top tip

Now, add the dry ingredients and combine it all well to form a dough. If the dough is dry and does not hold together, add one tablespoon of almond milk at a time and combine until cookie dough texture is achieved. Different brands of almond flour and other ingredients can give you varying consistencies.

After that, mix in the chocolate chips.

⏲ Bake time

Then get the cookies ready to bake. Spoon the dough in two-tablespoon sized balls onto the cookie sheets.

Next, flatten each ball of cookie dough with a fork to create crisscross lines.

Optional: To create the classic “sugared” look on top, dip the fork in granulated sweetener between cookies. Or if it won’t stick, just sprinkle a bit of granulated sweetener on the top of each one.

Once they’re ready, bake each pan for 13-15 minutes or until the cookies are a light golden brown. Cool 10 minutes on the pan, and then remove them from the cookie sheet. Completely cool on a wire rack and enjoy!

🥣 How to store almond flour peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

If the chocolate peanut butter keto cookies are not all eaten immediately, they can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to about a week. They can also be stored on the counter in an airtight container; however, they will last longer in the refrigerator.

The cookies can also be frozen to get one out at a time when you need. Sometimes I do this to portion control and only allow myself one at a time as a treat. They can be kept frozen for a month or so, and I don’t like to go longer than two.

To thaw the cookies, simply set one out on the counter for 20 minutes, or in the refrigerator overnight to thaw. If you’re in a huge hurry, microwave the cookie for 15 seconds at a time.

🥜 Keto peanut butter recipes

Do you love peanut butter as much as I do?

Chocolate and peanut butter is one of my all-time favorite flavor combinations. I don’t always eat keto cookies and baked goods on a regular basis when I’m really trying to lose weight. However, they do make a good treat to reward yourself or for a special occasion.

In fact, one of my favorite birthday treats is this Keto Peanut Butter Pie, divine! It’s basically a giant peanut butter cup and rather fabulous. Or, try this recipe for Low Carb Peanut Butter Cups.

But back to the cookies! Like I mentioned, I tried out a lot of recipe variations to get these just right. I really enjoy this recipe and its flavors and hope you do too.

Happy Baking!
