Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Keto Cookies
You can still indulge in dessert, even on the ketogenic diet! This easy chocolate peanut butterketo cookies recipe is low carb and delicious!
I followed the keto diet for a while when I was trying to lose weight and was having difficulty. I found that following a low carb diet worked better for me than anything else. It always has.
Of course, now I know the reason I couldn't lose weight is because my gallbladder was malfunctioning. Once it was removed, I could digest food again and I have since dropped all of the weight.
That said, I know how effective the keto diet can be for weight loss and a variety of other health concerns. So I want to share some of the keto recipes I still have hanging around.
Even though these chocolate peanut butter cookies are low carb, they still taste amazing! Peanut butter cookies have always been my favorite, so it should have been no surprise that adding chocolate would make it even better. Chocolate makes everything better, doesn't it?
As long as you are choosing ingredients that do not have added sugar in them, each cookie should have about 2 net carbs. So you can't scarf the whole batch down, but you can indulge!
Even if you're not strictly following the keto diet, I think you'll enjoy this easy recipe for chocolate peanut butter keto cookies! You'll get about 24 cookies from this recipe – they won't last long
