Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Soft, a little chewy and a little cakey, these sweet Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies are filled with chocolate flavor and perfect with a cup of coffee. (Best of all, they only take about 20 minutes to make!)

This recipe is completely sugar free, dairy free, low carb, keto friendly, and can be enjoyed as a Trim Healthy Mama FP recipe!

As I was scrolling through Instagram the other day, a post by izyhossack caught my attention. She had posted a recipe for Nutella Cookies.

This got my thoughts turned toward my own Chocolate Peanut Butter recipe and I begin to wonder if I could make a similar cookie using my own peanut butter.

I tweaked the recipe to make it Trim Healthy Mama friendly, and I am delighted with the results! All of my kids and my husband gave this recipe the thumbs-up!

They are good right out of the oven – a little fudgy, melty, sweet perfection. But they are good after they have cooled as well, making them just a tad bit chewy around the edges.

Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

But perhaps the thing I love most about these cookies is how easy they are to make. If you are a Trim Healthy Mama, you probably already have all the ingredients in your cupboard.

If you are unfamiliar with an ingredient, don’t worry, I have substitutions listed for you below!

The recipe does contain one whole egg, which is considered an S fuel, but spread out over 20 cookies, there is only 1 gram of fat per cookie. I eat these Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies as a FP, but be aware of the other fat sources you are consuming.

Another fun fact about these cookies – they only have 26 calories each! Yes, you read that correctly – 26 calories! (I know, as Trim Healthy Mamas, we do not count calories, but we try not to abuse them either.)

These cookies will be a great little tool to add to your recipe box – you can enjoy them without going calorie crazy!

I have received so many messages and seen FB posts from people who are loving the Chocolate Peanut butter recipe. (If you are not familiar with it, the recipe is made with Peanut Flour, and it is a Fuel Pull!)

The base of these Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies is the chocolate peanut butter itself. I mixed my peanut butter up before making the cookies, but I honestly think you could do it all at the same time.

By this I mean, mix your dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients and stir well.

How to make uniform cookies

I like to use a cookie scoop to ensure that my cookies are all an even size (a kitchen trick I learned from my Mama!)

I used a small cookie scoop, like this one, and I got 20 cookies out of one batch of dough.


They store best in the refrigerator. I have found, with many THM treats, it is best to store them in the fridge to help them last longer.

My theory is that since there are no preservatives, they tend to spoil faster on the counter. However, you may find that these easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies disappear so fast you won’t have to worry about it!

If you are wanting a decadent treat, my husband suggested making sandwich cookies using this Chocolate Coconut Oil Frosting. Simply spread the frosting on the bottom of one cookie, then press another cookie on top and freeze. (He loves frozen treats.)

We haven’t tried this yet, but if you try it, let me know! I think it would be fabulous – similar to these Double Doozie Cookies.

Ingredients for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

1 Cup Chocolate Peanut Butter

ΒΌ Cup Erythritol

2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder

β…“ Cup Trim Healthy Mama Baking Blend

ΒΎ Teaspoon Baking Soda

Pinch of Mineral Salt

1 Egg

You can use Gentle Sweet in place of the Erythritol, but I would start with 3 Tablespoons, instead of ΒΌ Cup. If you do not have Gentle Sweet, you can use my Low Carb Powdered Sugar, or you can use 1 Β½ – 2 Tablespoons of Pyure (which is available at most Walmarts).

If you do not have the Trim Healthy Mama Baking Blend you can make your own, or you can use an equal mix of almond flour, coconut flour, and flax meal. Please note that this will change the fuel type from FP to S because of the fats in the flours.

If you aren’t already, Β be sure come over and follow me on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter!

    I remember eating the flourless peanut butter cookies made with sugar of course and they were so chewy. Is it sugar that does it? I actually made this recipe but left the THM baking blend out because 1) I made peanut butter cookies with the baking blend recently and I was not a fan and 2} I thought if I made them kind of like the flourless pb cookies then maybe they would be chewier…but they are cakey instead. Bummer! So all I can assume is it is the amount of sugar in the regular flourless pb cookies that gives that great texture. So next time I make this, I will make it with the THM blend or with coconut and almond flour since I am currently out of the THM blend. Thanks for the great recipe and so glad these are an FP.

      Yes, it is difficult to mimic the textures of traditional cookies when using alternative ingredients. πŸ™‚

    So if, theoretically, you ate about 1/2 the batch of these, it would be an S? (asking for a friend. LOL)
