✨ Recipe Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 3/4 cup roasted Peanut Flour (use this flour– amazon link)
- 1/4 cup Peanut Butter
- 5 tablespoon Butter (unsalted)

For the Coating
- 3oz Keto Friendly Dark Chocolate – amazon link (chopped)
- 1/2 oz Cocoa Butter
👨🍳 How To Make
Follow this easy recipe to make the best keto peanut butter cookies:
Step 1
Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Melt the peanut butter and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Then, add in the sweetener and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Next, add the peanut flour and mix until a dough forms.
Step 3
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the lined baking sheet. Freeze for 1.5 hours until firm.
Step 4
Now let’s make the coating. Place the cocoa butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set it over a pan of barely simmering water and stir until it melts.
Step 5
Use a small skewer to dip the frozen peanut butter balls into the chocolate and swirl to coat. Place the coated balls on the baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set (it should take a few seconds since we froze them).
💡Tips
1. Store Properly for Best Sexture
These cookies are best eaten within a few days of making them. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate coating firm.
If you live in a warm climate, don’t leave them out at room temperature for too long or the chocolate might melt.
If you want to make a big batch, you can freeze the uncoated cookie dough balls for up to a month. Just thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before coating with chocolate.
2. The Chocolate Coating
When melting the chocolate and cocoa butter for the coating, be patient and use low heat. If the chocolate gets too hot, it can seize up or become grainy.
Stir frequently as it melts to ensure even heating. When it comes to dipping the frozen cookie balls, work quickly but carefully. Have everything set up before you start – your melted chocolate, the frozen balls, and a lined baking sheet for the dipped cookies.
Use a fork or dipping tool to quickly submerge each ball in the chocolate, then tap off the excess before placing it on the baking sheet.
