Festive Keto Peanut Butter Blossoms
A delightful keto-friendly twist on the classic peanut butter blossom cookie, perfect for holiday baking. These festive treats feature a soft peanut butter cookie base topped with a sugar-free chocolate "kiss."
Equipment
- Large Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Silicone mold (optional)
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup creamy unsweetened peanut butter
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 0.25 tsp baking soda
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 2.5 tbsp granulated sugar-free sweetener
- 5 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips melted
Instructions
- Gently melt your sugar-free chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 15-30 seconds until smooth. If you have a silicone mold, pour the melted chocolate into it, lightly tap to release air bubbles, and use a toothpick to perfect the tips. Pop it in the fridge to set while you prepare the cookie dough. No mold? No problem! You can simply use sugar-free chocolate chips or small chocolate pieces later.
- In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened peanut butter and softened butter, mixing until wonderfully smooth and creamy. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until fully blended. Next, mix in the powdered sugar-free sweetener until it dissolves seamlessly. Finally, add the coconut flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until your dough starts to thicken nicely.
- Cover the bowl of dough and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or even overnight). This crucial step makes the dough firm and easy to handle for rolling.
- Once your dough is chilled, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Grab a small bowl for the granulated sugar-free sweetener. Remove the firm dough from the fridge and roll it into smooth, 1-inch balls. Roll each ball gently in the granulated sweetener to give it a lovely sparkly coating, then arrange them on your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies for just 6-8 minutes. They should look slightly soft or "underbaked" when you take them out – this keeps them super tender! Immediately, press one chocolate "kiss" (or a few chocolate chips/a small chocolate piece) into the center of each warm cookie. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet to allow the chocolate to set and the cookies to firm up.
