Ingredients
CHOCOLATE CRINKLE COOKIES FILLED WITH PEANUT BUTTER
- 15 Quest Mini Peanut Butter Cups
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup no-calorie sweetener
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 tablespoon no-calorie sweetener, powder
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unwrap the peanut butter cups and set aside.
- Place the almond flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a bowl and whisk until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the melted butter and beat until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and use a rubber spatula to mix until a dough forms.
- Use a 1.5” cookie scoop to make 15 equal-sized balls. Press one of the peanut butter cups into the center and cover it with dough, forming it into a ball again.
- Repeat until you have used all the dough and peanut butter cups.
- Place 1 tablespoon of no-calorie powdered sweetener in a bowl and roll each ball of cookie dough in it.
- Transfer the cookie dough balls to a baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes.
- Once you take the cookies out of the oven, use the bottom of a glass to press them down slightly. Let cool and serve.
