Description
Soft, chewy, and perfectly sweet, these Sugar Free Peanut Butter Blossoms are made with no added sugar. They feature creamy peanut butter, a hint of vanilla, and a rich sugar free chocolate center for a classic treat everyone loves.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup Splenda or another heat-stable sugar alternative
¼ cup Surkin Gold or similar brown sugar substitute
¾ cup sugar free peanut butter (Smucker’s Natural No Sugar Added or Crazy Richard’s)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon Simply Organic Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract (alcohol-free)
Sugar free chocolate pieces (Lily’s or ChocZero)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, cream together the Splenda, Surkin Gold, and sugar free peanut butter on low to medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in two portions, stirring after each addition.
6. Scoop the dough using a tablespoon, roll into balls, and place on the prepared cookie sheet about two inches apart.
7. If desired, roll each ball in additional granular sugar alternative before baking.
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges turn golden but centers remain soft.
9. Remove from the oven and immediately press a sugar free chocolate piece into the center of each cookie.
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a stronger peanut flavor, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to 10 days.
These cookies freeze well for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
You can replace part of the peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter for flavor variation.
Use sugar alternatives that are heat-stable such as Splenda, Surkin Gold, or Swerve for best results.
