  • Minimal carbs – You can have a cookie (or two) without guilt.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You won’t need anything fancy—just some keto-friendly staples:

For the cookies:

  • 1 cup peanut butter (unsweetened, creamy)
  • 1/2 cup granulated keto sweetener (like monk fruit or erythritol)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the mix-ins:

  • 4 slices crispy bacon, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for extra chewiness, optional)

How to Make Keto Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies

Step 1: Cook the Bacon

First, you need crispy bacon. If it’s not crispy, it won’t mix well in the cookie dough. Fry or bake it until golden and crunchy, then let it cool before crumbling it into small bits. Set it aside for later.

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3: Make the Dough

In a large bowl, mix together:

  • Peanut butter
  • Keto sweetener
  • Egg
  • Cocoa powder
  • Baking powder
  • Vanilla extract
  • Salt

Mix until smooth. The dough will be thick, and that’s exactly how it should be.

Step 4: Add the Bacon and Chocolate

Gently stir in crumbled bacon and sugar-free chocolate chips. This is where the magic happens. You’ll see the chocolate and bacon blending into the dough, and you’ll know this is going to be good.

Step 5: Shape the Cookies

Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form small dough balls (about 1.5 inches wide). Place them on the baking sheet, leaving some space in between. Flatten them slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 10-12 minutes. They’ll look soft when they come out—don’t overbake! They firm up as they cool.

Step 7: Cool and Enjoy

Let them sit for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. If you eat them too soon, they might fall apart (but hey, that’s still delicious).

Pro Tips for the Best Keto Cookies

Use creamy peanut butter – The thicker the peanut butter, the chewier your cookies will be.
Don’t skip the bacon – It might sound strange, but it takes these cookies to another level.
Let them cool – They firm up as they cool, so be patient.
Try them chilled – Pop them in the fridge for extra chewiness.

How Many Carbs Are in These Cookies?

Each cookie has around 2-3g net carbs, depending on your ingredients. That means you can enjoy a couple without ruining your keto streak.

❤️ Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter before baking for a cute touch.

What Do These Taste Like?

Think of a chocolate peanut butter cup with a little crunch and a salty kick. The bacon doesn’t make them taste “meaty”—it just adds depth. If you’ve ever had salted chocolate, you get the idea.

Can You Store These?

Yes! You can keep them in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature. If you want them to last longer, stick them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

For freezing, place them in a ziplock bag and store for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, just thaw at room temp.

Conclusion

These cookies are chewy, chocolatey, peanut buttery, and just a little salty—perfect for a keto-friendly Valentine’s Day treat. Whether you’re making them for your partner, friends, or just yourself, they’re guaranteed to satisfy that sweet tooth without the carbs.

So go ahead, make a batch, and watch them disappear! ❤️🍪🥓
