Ingredients

1/3 cup allulose
1/3 cup low carb sweetener powdered
3 tbsp peanut butter powder unsweetened
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1 cup almond butter natural smooth
1 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
⅓ cup low carb semi-sweet choc chips Lily's brand
1 tbsp butter melted
1/4 cup low carb white chocolate chips Lily's brand
1 tbsp cacao butter or coconut oil
3 Sugar Free Peppermint candies (optional) crushed

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350* and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pour all ingredients into a large mixing bowl (except the candies). Thoroughly mix until fully combined. Batter should be sticky and stiff.
Using a small ice cream scoop or two spoons place 1-2 tsp sized balls on to your parchment paper lined baking sheet about 1” apart.
Bake for 8 minutes and remove promptly from the oven. Let cool for 1-2 minutes. Gently with a small glass or plate press each cookie slightly flatter.
While cookies are in oven gently melt the cacao butter and low carb white chocolate chips in the microwave until fully melted and runny. Drizzle white chocolate over each cookie to your liking.
Sprinkle each cookie with crushed peppermint candies (optional). Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

Note: Allulose tends to bake very fast and will burn if you try to bake these cookies to a crispness. Trust me, you want these cookies chewy….Do not over bake them.

Also note that this dough is very sticky...that's ok. I use a small ice cream scoop with a release lever to help mine onto the cookie sheet. Use two spoons to help you get your cookie dough on to the cookie sheet. You can always dampen your finger tips to help you form small mounds on the sheet before baking.

Last note...the crushed peppermint candies are optional, but do add a festive touch.
