Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural unsweetened peanut butter , (use natural cashew butter or even almond butter for paleo)
  • 1 large egg , room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated or golden monk fruit sweetener , plus more for sprinkling on the tops if desired (you can also use your preferred low carb sweetener) (can also sub with coconut sugar)
  • 2 tbsp superfine blanched almond flour

Optional but HIGHLY recommended to bring out the flavor

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

FOR THE CHOCOLATE CENTER

  • 15 organic sugar-free chocolate wafers, dairy-free Enjoy Life / Hu's Kitchen chocolate chunks OR 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (We usually use Santa Barbara wafers or Lily's Sweets chocolate chips)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, beat egg, peanut butter, monk fruit sweetener and vanilla until smooth. Stir in almond flour, salt and cinnamon, if using.

  3. Roll dough into 1.5 TBSP-sized dough balls and roll into a bowl with more sweetener for a crystallized crunch.

    Place dough balls on prepared baking sheet then use your thumb 1/4 TEASPOON-sized spoon to make an indent in the center.

  4. Bake in preheated oven for 9 to 10 minutes, until the cookies are just slightly browned on the bottom. Be careful not to over-bake as the cookies will continue to cook. After 2 minutes, press chocolate wafer in the middle or sprinkle in 3-5 chocolate chips. Allow to cool completely for the cookies and chocolate to set and harden.
