What You’ll Need

To whip up these delightful cookies, gather the following simple ingredients:

½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsweetened creamy peanut butter or your preferred nut/seed butter
2 large eggs
¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips

Let’s Make It Together

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sweetener, Dutch cocoa, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.
Add the peanut butter and the eggs to the dry mix, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Drop tablespoon-sized mounds onto the prepared sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart, and slightly flatten the tops with wet fingers.
Bake for 7–8 minutes, allowing the centers to remain soft as they will firm up while cooling.
Let them rest on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

As you’re baking, allow yourself to be enveloped in the rich aroma of chocolate, filled with the warmth of nostalgia that comes from enjoying something homemade.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

To make your baking experience as delightful as the cookies themselves, here are my best kitchen secrets:

Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing; this helps them blend better into your dough for a smoother texture.
Storage: Keep any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. If you want them to last longer, you can freeze them for up to two months.
Taste Testing: Don’t hesitate to taste your dough before adding the chocolate chips – it’s a delicious way to ensure your mixture is just right!
Mixing Gently: When adding your nut butter and eggs, mix gently to keep that luscious fudgy texture intact.
