Method
Prepare the Dough
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your creamy peanut butter and the granulated sweetener. Use a sturdy wooden spoon or a hand mixer. You want the mixture to look pale and fluffy.
- Add in the room temperature egg and the vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is cohesive.
- Sift the almond flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture. Gently fold them in. The dough should be thick and slightly tacky but manageable.
Shape and Bake
- Scoop about a tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a neat ball about one inch in diameter. Space them two inches apart on your baking sheet.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should be just barely golden. Be careful not to overbake, keto treats can dry out quickly.
- Immediately after removing the pan from the oven, gently press a sugar-free chocolate star into the center of each cookie.
- Let the cookies sit on the tray for at least 10 minutes. The residual heat will finish setting the centers while the chocolate softens and then firms back up.
