how to make Keto Flourless Fudge Cookies
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
- 1/3 cup Dutch cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened creamy peanut butter (or nut/seed butter of choice)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Directions:
- Prepare your oven by preheating it to 350°F (175°C), and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper for effortless baking.
- In a medium bowl, easily combine the powdered sugar-free sweetener, Dutch cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Give them a quick stir.
- Add the creamy peanut butter and eggs to the dry mixture. Stir well until a perfectly smooth and wonderfully sticky dough forms. Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Using a spoon, drop approximately 1-inch dough balls about 3 inches apart onto your lined cookie sheet. Lightly dampen your fingers and gently smooth and slightly flatten each cookie.
- Bake for a quick 7-8 minutes. They might seem soft initially, but they’ll firm up beautifully as they cool. Be careful not to over-bake to keep them perfectly fudgy!
- Allow your delicious cookies to cool completely before savoring every healthy, rich bite!
