Ingredients

1/2cupunsalted buttersoftened
1/4cupgranulated sweetener
1egg(s)
1/2cupcocoa powder
1servingChocolate Mint Keto Chow(or 1 scoop)
1tspbaking powder
1 1/4cupssugar-free dark chocolate chips
1/8cupsugar-free peppermint chipscan sub 1/4 tsp mint extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉.
Cream together butter and erythritol. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Mix in the cocoa, baking powder, and Keto Chow.
With a silicone spatula, scoop all the batter onto parchment paper and make a uniform shape with your hands; the dough will be thick and sticky.
Put parchment on top and roll out until it’s 1/8 inch thick everywhere. Leave parchment on top and chill in the fridge for at least one hour.
Once chilled, take off the top parchment and use a two inch round cutter to cut as many circles as close together as you can. You should be able to make between 20-24, rerolling once or twice as necessary. If the dough starts to get too sticky as you roll or cut it, let it chill in the fridge again.
Place each cookie on parchment on a sheet pan. These do not spread much so you can put them close together if needed.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. (Add 2-5 minutes for high altitude.) They will still be a little soft when they are done, but will firm as they cool.
Melt chocolate in 1/2 cup increments for 45 seconds and add in roughly 10-15 peppermint chips per 1/2 cup. (Or add in 1/4 tsp. peppermint extract/flavoring.)
Once cookies are completely cooled, dip into chocolate and place back on parchment. Put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.

My name is Amanda and I am from Syracuse Utah. I now live in Kansas where the military has brought my family. I am married with two kids. I love to spend most of my time in the kitchen or anything outdoors. My favorite food is steak and I love to bake! I like to innovate my favorite foods to make them keto friendly.
