How to make Keto Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies
Cookies
- Preheat oven to 325ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter and butter until creamy. Beat in sweetener, and then beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined.
- Add the almond flour, peanut flour, baking soda, and salt and beat until the dough comes together.
- Form the dough into 1 inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Press down with the palm of your hand to about ½ inch thick.
- Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until soft and puffy, and just barely browned. Remove from the oven and use the back of a rounded teaspoon to form a well in the center of each cookie. Let cool completely.
Chocolate Center
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter together in 30 second increments, stirring until smooth.
- Use a small spoon to dollop the chocolate in the wells of the cookies. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- As soon as the cookies come Once cooled, these keto peanut butter blossoms are ready to enjoy with a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or even as a sweet treat for your holiday gatherings!
Tips for Perfect Keto Peanut Butter Blossoms
Peanut Butter: Make sure to use natural, unsweetened peanut butter to avoid hidden sugars and carbs.
Sweetener: Adjust the amount of erythritol or other sweeteners to your taste. If you prefer a sweeter cookie, feel free to add a bit more.
Chocolate Kiss Alternatives: If you can’t find sugar-free chocolate kisses, use any keto-approved chocolate you like. A square of dark chocolate or a chocolate chip could work just as well.
No Chill Time: I’m usually a huge advocate for chilling your cookie dough before baking (and you can certainly do that still if you wish) but this recipe does not require any time in the fridge. Simply make the dough and bake the cookies!
Storage: Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
These Keto Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies are the perfect way to treat yourself and your loved ones to a little holiday sweetness without the sugar overload. Whether you’re baking for Christmas or just want a festive snack, these keto-friendly cookies will make your holiday season even sweeter.
