Since we’re cutting out the carbs my Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies are made with Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour. I love that it ground super fine so it is closer to the texture of flour. Bob’s Red Mill offers two types of Almond Flour, Natural, which is ground from whole almonds with the skin intact, and Blanched which is made from almonds that have been blanched to remove the skins. I like blanched because it’s color more like flour but since these low carb cookies are chocolate it really doesn’t matter which you use.

We all like to indulge during the holidays so I wanted to make these Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies extra special for my friends who are avoiding carbs. The cookie dough is made with unsweetened cocoa powder to give it a chocolate flavor and inside each low carb cookie is a deliciously decadent sugar-free peanut butter cup. OMG, they are amazing! As someone who spent a few years avoiding all carbs these are pure heaven. They are the best right out of the oven when that peanut butter and chocolate is all melt-y and amazing but when I had one the next day I stuck it in the microwave for just a few seconds and it melted the inside all over again. Yum!!

I have a list of friends, co-workers, and family that I am making these very special low carb cookies for. Each one is getting their own box that I’ve lined with a Christmas-y linen napkin. It’s simple but beautiful and once they open that box they’ll only have eyes for their own special batch of low carb Christmas cookies! I know they are going to be so happy :).
