My friends are introducing a low-carbs diet into their lifestyle. It makes me very happy to see them enjoying the process and already feeling the change, in a good way. This has opened a new door for me as well. Now I get to experiment with low-carbs recipes and make them our own. Like these flourless PB dark chocolate cookies!

The first recipe I played and tweaked was a flour-less peanut butter cookie recipe. I have tried a couple of variations and I want to share with you the one we (my kids and friends) unanimously loved!

Looking for a low-carb cookie? Here is a wonderful flourless peanut butter cookie dipped in dark chocolate. Only three ingredients!

For a sugar free option substitute the brown sugar with three envelopes of Splenda (or your choice of sugar substitute).

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cup Chocolate, (for melting)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Using a small ice cream scoop (or 1 tablespoon) place cookie about 1 inch apart onto a baking sheet.

Flatten the mounds with the back of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden around the edges.
Tip: Turn the cookie sheet halfway through baking.

Remove from the oven and cool completely.

In the meantime melt about one cup of dark chocolate in the microwave in 30 seconds intervals. Once or twice will do.

Carefully dip cookies halfway into the melted chocolate.

Enjoy with a tall glass of milk!

Notes

Tip: I used a spoon to help me coat each cookie, they were very crumbly. Once you get a hand of it, it gets easier, promise.

For a low sugar variation replace the brown sugar with three envelopes of any sugar substitute of your choice. Another variation is to enjoy them naked…you read right, without the dark chocolate.
