3-Ingredient Sugar-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Smooth Peanut Butter (ensure it is the “no sugar added” variety)

  • 1 large Egg

  • 1/2 cup Sugar-free Chocolate Chips (or dark chocolate chunks)

  • Optional: 1/4 cup Erythritol or Stevia blend (if you prefer a much sweeter cookie)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.

  2. Mix the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the smooth peanut butter and the egg. If you are using an extra sweetener, add it now. Stir with a spatula until the mixture becomes a thick, cohesive dough.

  3. Add the Chocolate: Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  4. Scoop and Shape: Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.

  5. Flatten: These cookies do not spread much on their own. Use the back of a spoon or your palm to gently press down on each ball to reach your desired thickness.

  6. Bake: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should be just slightly golden, but the centers will still look very soft. Do not overbake, as they will continue to firm up as they cool.

  7. Cooling (Important): Let the cookies sit on the hot baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before moving them. Because there is no flour, they need this time to set their structure.

  8. Serve: Enjoy these warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
