Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour, finely ground
- ½ cup erythritol, powdered
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup natural peanut butter, smooth
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sugar-free peanut butter cups (e.g., Lily’s), unwrapped
- Optional: Additional powdered erythritol for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, powdered erythritol, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure there are no clumps.
- Cream Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and peanut butter mixture and beat until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Chill Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape Cookies: Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Add Peanut Butter Cups: Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a sugar-free peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Dust (Optional): Dust the cookies with additional powdered erythritol.
