Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar substitute
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine one cup of all-natural, unsweetened peanut butter, half a cup of your preferred granulated sugar substitute (like erythritol or a monk fruit blend), and one large egg. Stir until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and form a thick, cohesive dough. If the dough seems a little too sticky, a few minutes in the fridge can help firm it up.
- Scoop out spoonfuls of the dough—about an inch or so in diameter—and roll them into smooth, uniform balls. Place these dough balls spaced about two inches apart on your prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each dough ball with the tines of a fork, first in one direction and then perpendicular to create that signature crosshatch pattern.
- Bake your cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set. They might still seem a little soft in the middle when you first take them out, but they will firm up as they cool. Avoid overbaking. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While your cookies are cooling, combine about half a cup of sugar-free chocolate chips with one teaspoon of coconut oil (or heavy cream) in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt over low heat in a small saucepan, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Once your 3 Ingredient Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cookies are completely cool and the chocolate drizzle is ready, use a spoon to artistically drizzle the melted sugar-free chocolate over each cookie in zig-zag patterns, or transfer to a piping bag and pipe fine lines. Let the drizzled cookies sit at room temperature or pop them in the fridge for a few minutes until the chocolate has completely set.
