Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (for optional drizzle)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (for optional drizzle)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (for optional drizzle)
- Pinch of salt (for optional drizzle)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, granular erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener), and the egg. Stir vigorously with a sturdy spoon or use a hand mixer on low speed until everything is beautifully combined. You’re looking for a thick, cohesive dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. It should be firm enough to handle but still wonderfully pliable, almost like a soft playdough. Avoid overmixing.
- Use a small cookie scoop or roll about 1 tablespoon of dough between your palms to form perfect little spheres. Place these dough balls about 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheet. Gently press down on each ball with the tines of a fork, first in one direction, then again perpendicular to create that signature crosshatch pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, keeping a close eye on them. They’re done when the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set, though they’ll still be wonderfully soft. Do not overbake. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To craft the sugar-free chocolate fudge drizzle, grab a microwave-safe bowl and combine your sugar-free chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Pop it into the microwave and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is gloriously melted and smooth (typically 1 to 1.5 minutes). Once velvety smooth, stir in the vanilla extract and a tiny pinch of salt. Adjust consistency if needed with a tiny bit more coconut oil or a few more chocolate chips.
- Once your peanut butter cookies have cooled completely on the wire rack, carefully transfer your smooth, decadent sugar-free chocolate fudge drizzle into a piping bag, a ziploc bag with a tiny corner snipped off, or simply use a spoon. Artfully drizzle the chocolate back and forth over each cookie. Let the chocolate set, either at room temperature or by popping them into the fridge for a few minutes, until it’s firm to the touch.
