Calories: 146kcal
Equipment
- 2 large baking sheets
Ingredients
- ½ cup Sugar Free Peanut Butter softened if needed
- ¼ cup Unsalted butter softened
- ⅓ cup Brown Sugar Substitute I use allulose - use ¼ cup if using an erythritol blend.
- ⅓ cup Granulated sugar substitute I use allulose - use ¼ cup if using an erythritol blend.
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ½ cup Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
- ⅓ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup Superfine almond flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- In stand mixer - or in a large bowl, if using a hand mixer -cream peanut butter, butter, and sugar substitutes until fluffy.
- Add eggs, milk, and vanilla, beat until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
- In a separate, large bowl, mix together remaining ingredients.
- Slowly add this dry ingredients mix to the mixer bowl, and carefully mix until well incorporated and smooth.
- Cover dough with plastic wrap, chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F, line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll 1.5" balls of dough out of the cookie dough, or use an ice cream scoop. You want to get 16 cookies from the batch.
- Arrange dough balls on baking sheets leaving at least 2" between cookies - they flatten out a fair amount.
- Gently press the top of the cookie lightly with a fork, then again in the opposite direction, forming a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake peanut butter cookies for 11-13 minutes. Cookies will look puffy, but flatten out as they cool. Do not over bake!
- Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before removing from cookie sheet. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
