Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup powdered peanut butter (like PB2)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup stevia or your favorite sugar substitute (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup egg whites (or about 2 egg whites)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp water (if needed to bring dough together)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered peanut butter, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Stir in the egg whites, vanilla extract, and water (if needed to bring the dough together). The dough should be thick but pliable.
  4. Shape the cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Flatten them slightly on the baking sheet with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are firm but the centers are soft.
  6. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
