How To Make Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Cookies

Making these decadent, sugar-free, gluten-free cookies is pretty straightforward. The following are the steps you need to take to get the best results:

Begin by allowing your eggs and butter to come to room temperature.

First, make the peanut butter dough using an electric mixer to beat together peanut butter, softened butter, sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and an egg in a medium-sized bowl.

Add almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture and stir with the electric beater until fully incorporated. Then, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.

For the chocolate peanut butter dough, beat together peanut butter, softened butter, sugar substitute, vanilla extract, two tablespoons of water, and an egg in a medium-sized bowl using an electric mixer.

Next, add almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture and combine with the electric beater until fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Cover both cookie doughs and chill in the refrigerator for at least 60 minutes to prevent spreading during baking.

Once the dough has had time to fully cool, preheat the oven to 350 F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

To form the cookies, you’ll measure one tablespoon of each dough and roll it into balls. Wet your hands with water, then press the two balls together between your hands and roll them into one large cookie dough ball.

Wetting your hands will make shaping them easier.

Bake the cookies in the prepared oven for 20–25 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.

Allow the cookies to cool completely before eating or storing, as they can be fragile until fully set. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze them for up to three weeks.

Choosing Your Peanut Butter

Regarding which peanut butter to use for this keto chocolate peanut butter cookie recipe, there are some careful considerations you need to make to ensure success.

For one, it should be a sugar-free option. I know that’s not easy to source, but some of my favorite options are:

• Spread The Love Peanut Butter
• Good Good Peanut Butter
• Laurel’s Smooth Natural Peanut Butter
• Justin’s No-Stir Peanut Butter

All these brands have zero sugar and are creamy.

The consistency is as close as possible to the stuff we grew up on, minus all the extra carbs.

With that being said, if you can’t easily order that brand, you could use all-natural peanut butter that needs to be stirred.

Sugar-Free Chocolate Chip Options

When it comes to choosing which chocolate chips to use in these cookies, I love Lily’s semi-sweet chocolate chips for their lovely chocolate flavor and melting point. 

If you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, you could also use Lily’s dark chocolate chips. Either one works beautifully and gives consistent results.

But if you can’t get your hands on Lily’s chocolate, you can also use Hershey’s sugar-free chocolate chips. However, in this case, the chocolate flavor is not rich.

Another nice sugar-free option is ChocZero’s Dark Chocolate Sugar-free Chips. As you can see, you have several options that will keep the carbs low enough for you to enjoy them.

Best Sugar Substitutes

As far as sweeteners are concerned for these sugar-free chocolate and peanut butter cookies, I recommend the use of Lakanto’s granulated sugar substitute. It’s their erythritol and monk fruit sweetener that is as close to sugar as it gets.

I’m also partial to the brand Swerve, which is an erythritol blend. Like Lakanto, it uses sugar alcohols and has a 0 % impact on blood sugar.

You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure if you prefer to use a stevia-based sweetener.

I will add that we are not sure why, but chocolate and stevia do not always go together well and can intensify the aftertaste of stevia.

Note that if this is your choice, reduce the amount called for in the recipe by half since it’s a much sweeter option.

Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda successfully.

I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect that, but in my book, it’s still better than regular sugar.
