Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl add the peanut butter, eggs, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Using a spatula stir everything well until all is combined and the dough is smooth.
  • Add the chocolate chips and mix well.
  • Roll balls of dough. It’s about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Then flatten the top of the cookie with your two fingers. 
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until very lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely before handling.
  • While the cookies are in the oven, melt the chocolate in the microwave.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt ¾ cup chopped chocolate bar. Heat for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and stir. Return it to the microwave and repeat, stopping to stir every 15-seconds until the mixture is totally melted.
  • Dip half of cookie into the melted chocolate and let the excess run off. Sprinkle with peanuts.

Notes

  • You can use chunky peanut butter if you want a different textured cookie.
  • Almond butter is a great alternative if you do not have peanut butter.
  • You can use dark, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate.
  • To store: Store the peanut butter cookies for up to a week in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • To freeze: After baking, flash freeze the cookies before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
