Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup keto-friendly sweetener
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup easy.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the coconut oil and natural peanut butter. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, keto-friendly sweetener, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt to the melted peanut butter and coconut oil mixture. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy and well-blended.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop equal portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space the cookies about 1-2 inches apart to ensure they set properly.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies have completely firmed up and become solid.
- Once set, remove the cookies from the refrigerator. For best texture and flavor, store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Before serving, let the cookies sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly for optimal taste and texture.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth blending and consistent texture.
- Choose a natural peanut butter with no added sugars to keep the recipe truly keto-friendly.
- For extra richness, consider using a high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Make sure to use a precise measuring technique to maintain the right cookie consistency.
- If the mixture seems too runny, let it cool slightly before scooping onto the baking sheet.
- For a flavor variation, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before chilling.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and professional-looking results.
- Store cookies in a single layer to prevent sticking and maintain their perfect shape.
