- 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 16 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.
- Flatten each cookie out into a disk, 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 4 net grams of carbs per cookie!
