Equipment

2 large baking sheets
Parchment paper

Ingredients

¾ cup Smooth peanut butter
¼ cup Brown Sugar Substitute
¼ cup Granulated Sugar Substitute
2 Large eggs
1 tablespoon Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
½ cup Superfine Almond Flour
½ cup Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
¼ cup Coconut flour
½ teaspoon Baking powder
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Xanthan gum
¼ teaspoon Baking soda
⅔ cup Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
½ cup Chopped Pecans

Instructions

In stand mixer - or in a large bowl, cream peanut butter and sugar substitutes until fluffy.
Add eggs, milk, and vanilla, beat until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
In a large bowl, mix together remaining ingredients, except chocolate chips.
Slowly add this dry ingredients mix to the mixer bowl, and carefully mix until well incorporated and smooth.
Add chocolate chips and pecans, stir until well combined.
Cover dough with plastic wrap, chill for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 F, line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll 1" balls out of the cookie dough, or use a cookie scoop. You want to get 24 cookies from the batch - I use a cookie scoop to get equal portions.
Arrange dough balls on baking sheets leaving at least 2" between balls of dough.
Very slightly flatten each cookie, as shown.
Bake peanut butter cookies for 11-12 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 baking sheets. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Notes

I've left the sugar-free chocolate chips out of the nutritional information calculation, as those values vary wildly between brands.

There is less than 1 tablespoon chocolate chips per cookie, so it should be easy to see how much carbs your choice of chocolate chips should add to the cookies.

Aside from the chocolate chips, 4 grams of carbs per cookie come from sugar alcohols. Add that to the gram of fiber, and these cookies end up at 3 net grams of carbs per cookie!
