Easy, Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies
I am in the mood for a really good cookie. Anyone else? I know I’m not alone! Sometimes you just crave gooey, chocolatey cookies and nothing else will do. When that craving hits, this is definitely the recipe you should reach for. These low carb peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are simply fantastic. They are soft, peanut buttery, and loaded with sugar-free chocolate chips. You would never even know that they were keto- they are just so good!
Let me tell you the other little secret about this recipe. It only requires 4 ingredients. That’s right, you only need 4 things to make perfect, peanut butter cookies. I bet that you already have a lot of these ingredients at your house too. Here is what you need to make these keto cookies:
• Peanut Butter
• So Nourished Granular Erythritol
• One egg
• Lily’s dark chocolate chips
If you are missing anything, don’t worry! You can find all of those things in almost any grocery store or you can order them online. I would stock up on everything because I know you will be making these cookies all the time.
With so few ingredients, you may be wondering how you can make such great cookies. Well, high-quality ingredients will help you make tasty cookies. Start by getting some really good peanut butter. Since peanut butter is the main ingredient in this recipe, the flavor will really shine through. We like to use creamy peanut butter to give the cookies a nice, soft texture. However, crunchy peanut butter will work too. Look for peanut butter that is made using just peanuts. No need for any additional preservatives, additives and or oils. You definitely want to make sure that your peanut butter has no added sugars that would make the cookies higher in carbs. Your peanut butter jar should really only have one ingredient on the list- peanuts!
Next, you want to be sure to use great erythritol. Erythritol is a natural sweetener that is usually found in fruits. Granular erythritol tastes almost identical to can sugar and it will give your cookies a perfect, sweet taste. Erythritol is not absorbed by the body, making it low calorie and low carb. Erythritol is a fantastic sweetener to use in keto cookies!
Lily’s dark chocolate chips are always our favorite keto chocolate chip. They are made with stevia, making them sweeter than unsweetened baking chocolate. They are also on the shelves of most grocery stores so you can pick up a bag anytime! Of course, I like to have a few bags of keto chocolate chips on hand. I tend to get random cookie cravings quite often!
Once you have all your ingredients, it is as simple as mixing everything together and baking. These peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are incredibly simple and extremely delicious. So, if you are like me and need a cookie right now, let’s go! My oven is already preheated and I’m already heading to the kitchen to start baking…Let me know how much you love this recipe! Enjoy.
