Flourless Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup + 2 T Golden Monkfruit Sweetener
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
• 3 T cocoa powder
• 3/4 cup blanched almond flour
• 1 cup natural peanut butter without added sugar, softened at room temperature

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350F/170C, and cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Pull the peanut butter from the refrigerator so it can soften to room temperature before you mix the dough.
2. Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer for the batter. Add the eggs, Golden Monkfruit Sweetener or your preferred sweetener, baking powder, vanilla, and salt to the mixing bowl, then beat until everything comes together.
3. Mix in the almond flour and cocoa powder, beating until they are fully worked into the mixture.
4. Add the room-temperature peanut butter and beat again until the dough is evenly combined. Chunky peanut butter is fine here, but smooth peanut butter will give the cookies a more uniform look.
5. Scoop the dough with a tablespoon measuring spoon, shape each portion into a small ball, and set the balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Flatten each cookie with a fork until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
7. Bake for 16-18 minutes, until the tops feel slightly firm and the cookies appear baked through. Cool them for a few minutes on the baking sheet; they will continue to firm up as they cool.
