Equipment

  • Parchment paper
  • Sheet pan

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup boiling water
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder (spooned into the measuring cup—not scooped)
  • 1 teaspoon pure liquid monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter with no added sugar (or substitute any type of unsweetened nut butter or seed butter you prefer)
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour (spooned into the measuring cup—not scooped)
  • Optional topping: melted keto-friendly dark chocolate for drizzling on the cookies (not included in the nutritional information)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add 3/4 cup boiling water and 1/3 cup cocoa powder to a large mixing bowl, then whisk until dissolved.
  • Add 1 teaspoon pure liquid monk fruit sweetener, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the mixing bowl, then whisk well.
  • Add 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter with no added sugar and 1/2 cup coconut flour to the mixing bowl, then when the mixture is cool enough to handle, use your hands to combine the ingredients until a thick dough is formed (I recommend wearing kitchen gloves to make this easy since the dough will be sticky).
  • Use your hands to form the dough into 13 evenly sized balls and place them, evenly spaced, on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Use your hands to press the dough balls into flatter circle shapes (these cookies don’t spread in the oven, so you need to flatten them before baking).
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool off for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • Optional step: when the cookies have cooled, drizzle melted keto-friendly chocolate on top, then place them in the fridge for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened, before serving.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days or freeze them for up to three months.
