My family loves when I make a batch of these peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and that makes me so happy that they enjoy them so much, especially since these are so simple to make and happen to come out just right each time.

Peanut butter and chocolate go so well together.

Just a note about this recipe, being a low carb cookie, this does not mean that these cookies are low in calories or in fat. It’s just the opposite. Usually when a dessert is low in carbs that means there is low or no sugar content so that means the fat content is usually higher.
In the case of these cookies, there is no added oil or butter in the recipe. The peanut butter acts as both the flavor and fat. So you eliminate any added fat. However the cookies do have a considerable amonut of fat and calories but, if you are following a low sugar, low carb eating plan, these cookies will fit right in.
As an added bonus, each cookie is loaded with protein, 7 grams per cookie with 4 grams of fiber. I eat these as a mid morning or afternoon snack. Sometimes, I even have one as a mini breakfast on the go.
On top of all that, they are beyond delectable.
These cookies are also great for an on the go breakfast.
