Description
These fiber-boosted, flourless peanut butter cookies studded with chocolate chips come together in just one bowl.
Ingredients
Core Cookie Ingredients
- 225 g approx. 14 tbsp crunchy peanut butter (100% peanuts, unsweetened)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 100 g approx. 1/2 cup granulated allulose or monk fruit/erythritol blend
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Flavor & Mix-ins
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup approx. 50g sugar-free chocolate chips (e.g., stevia-sweetened)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a single large bowl, add the egg, granulated sweetener, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds until slightly pale and combined.
- Add the crunchy peanut butter, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and sea salt to the bowl. Use a spatula to fold and mix everything together until a cohesive, stiff dough forms.
- Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Scoop small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into 24 uniform balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of space between them.
- Using the back of a fork dipped in water (to prevent sticking), gently press down on each ball to flatten it, then press again in the opposite direction to create a classic criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes. The cookies will be very soft with golden edges and a slightly underdone, soft center.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes to firm up completely before transferring them to a wire rack,Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container.
Notes
These cookies are a fantastic option for a blood-sugar-friendly treat. With very low net carbs and no traditional added sugar, they are designed to satisfy your sweet tooth with minimal impact on your glucose levels. The addition of flaxseeds provides a nice boost of fiber, making this a much smarter choice than standard bakery cookies.”
Helpful Tip: Since these cookies are rich in healthy fats and use sugar alcohols for sweetness, moderation is key. Enjoying just one or two cookies is enough to feel satisfied without causing digestive sensitivity. Try pairing a cookie with a cup of herbal tea or water to make the snack feel even more filling!
