Ingredients
½ cup (128 g) unsweetened natural peanut butter
5 tbsp (46 g) allulose
1 ½ tbsp (11 g) unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. -
Prepare the Dough:
Add the peanut butter to a large mixing bowl. Sift in the allulose using a small strainer to help it mix in more easily. Use your fingers to break down any clumps. Stir the allulose into the peanut butter until fully incorporated and the mixture thickens. -
Add Cocoa Powder:
Stir in the cocoa powder until the mixture is uniform in color and thick like cookie dough. Taste the dough and adjust by adding more allulose for sweetness or cocoa powder for extra chocolate flavor. -
Form the Cookies:
Using a 2 tsp cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and roll it between your palms into round balls. Place them on the prepared cookie sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart. -
Bake:
Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes. Be careful not to overbake, as they can burn quickly. The cookies will appear wet on top due to the allulose, but they’re done when the bottom third of the cookie looks dry. -
Cool:
Allow the cookies to cool completely and set before removing them from the cookie sheet. Optionally, dust with more allulose before serving.
Notes
Texture: The cookies will have a firm exterior but will melt in your mouth with a soft and buttery interior.
Sweetener Tip: This recipe works best with allulose, as it helps create the right texture. Other sweeteners like erythritol or monk fruit may not give the same meltaway effect.
Keto Tip: If following a keto diet, remember to track net carbs, excluding fiber and carbs from allulose.
