Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies

Christmas tends to be cookie season, so I think it’s time for some cookie recipes. Cookies are also great if you are going to a party or event where everyone will be eating desserts that are not keto friendly, put a couple in your purse or coat pocket and you can have dessert without worrying about the carbs.

This one is a favorite in our house, top 3 at least.

Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies

Ingredients:

• 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup granular Swerve sweetener
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions:

• Cook bacon until crispy, crumble and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350°
• In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sweetener and egg. Mix until all ingredients are combined. I put on a pair of gloves and did this part by hand. The peanut butter was thick and it just made it easier.
• To the mixture, add cocoa powder, vanilla extract and baking soda. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
• Mix in bacon crumbles.
• Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.
• Form dough into 12 equal sized balls, place on liner and flatten just a bit.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and place baking sheet on a cooling rack. If you do not let the cookies cool thoroughly, they will fall apart.
