If you love edible cookie dough, these Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles will become one of your favorite keto recipes. They’re rich, creamy, and satisfy that sweet tooth craving without added sugar, gluten, or refined oils.

The Best Peanut Butter Cookie Dough

This is a classic low carb, keto-friendly fat bomb recipe that’s perfect for anyone transitioning away from a low-fat or Standard American Diet (SAD) and learning to embrace healthy fats again.

These truffles are made with simple ingredients like almond flour, coconut oil or butter, sugar-free chocolate chips, and unsweetened peanut butter for that nostalgic cookie dough texture we all love. 

Just 3 grams net carbs per keto cookie dough truffles. All nutritional information is located at the bottom of this page on the printable recipe card. 

Keto Fat Bombs

Why Classic Keto Works (Why I Had to Adjust in Midlife)

For years, I thrived on a classic keto diet—about 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% total carbs. It was life-changing. Here’s the post I wrote all about my 6 week results with before and after pics!

Coming from decades of low-fat diet messaging, I finally learned how fat could be fuel instead of something to fear. Recipes like these keto fat bombs were a huge part of that journey because they helped me stay satisfied, reduce cravings, and make a sugar-free lifestyle sustainable.

But when perimenopause hit, everything shifted.

Even though I was eating clean, low carb, and sugar free, I started gaining weight for the first time in years. The same high-fat approach that once worked so well began working against me. My metabolism and hormones needed a new strategy.

The Midlife Macro Method™: A Moderate-Fat, High-Protein Approach

That’s when I created my Midlife Macro Method™ (MMM) — a nutrition approach specifically designed for women in perimenopause and menopause who want to balance hormones, build lean muscle, and maintain a healthy weight without extreme dieting.

In the MMM framework, I still enjoy healthy fats like those in these truffles, but the ratios are more balanced:

• Protein: 40–45% of calories (at least 100g daily)
• Carbs: 30–50g carbs per day
• Fat: 50% on most days, about 50-70 g fat with one higher-fat maintenance day each week

That moderate-fat approach made all the difference.

Within two months, I lost the 15 pounds I had gained during perimenopause—without medication, just by aligning my macros to support my changing hormones.

You can learn more about how I made that shift (and follow my meal plans!) in my new cookbook, Good, Better, Best, which released September 23, 2025. The first two meal plans in the book actually apply this very strategy.

How to Adapt These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles for Midlife Macros

If you love these classic keto truffles for a delicious treat, but want to make them Midlife Macro friendly, here are a few easy swaps and adjustments:

• Swap some fat for protein: Replace half the butter or coconut oil with ¼ cup Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to boost protein while keeping that creamy texture.
• Add protein powder or collagen: Mix in 1–2 tablespoons of unflavored whey or collagen peptides to increase protein per truffle.
• Lighten the chocolate coating: Use a thinner drizzle of melted dark chocolate instead of a full dip, or skip it entirely if you want to save fat grams.
• Choose a lighter nut butter: Use powdered peanut butter mixed with water or almond butter to reduce total fat while keeping flavor.

If you want an already-balanced MMM version, try my Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites recipe — high protein, moderate fat, and just as satisfying!

Why These Ingredients Work

• Peanut Butter (or Sunflower Butter): Adds creaminess, flavor, and healthy fats. For nut-free, sunflower butter works beautifully.
• Almond Flour or Sunflower Seed Meal: Creates the cookie dough texture without grains or gluten.
• Butter or Coconut Oil: Provides satiating fat; coconut oil also adds mild sweetness.
• Monk Fruit Allulose Sweetener: A sugar-free option that blends well and stays smooth, unlike erythritol, which can crystallize.
• Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips: Choose brands like Lily’s or Hu that are stevia or allulose sweetened.
• Vanilla Extract & Liquid Stevia: Enhance sweetness without sugar.

These simple, low carb ingredients make the perfect edible cookie dough bites for your freezer stash or to enjoy straight from the fridge when sweet cravings hit.

As many of you all ready know, my youngest son has these allergies and my oldest has a peanut allergy. It’s very easy to sub the peanut butter in these delicious truffles! I’ve successfully made these with sunflower seed butter and both versions are incredibly tasty!

Creating recipes that can accommodate many of us with allergies and those of us who choose to eat sugar-free and low carb for health reasons, is what I strive for here.

Not only is my priority sugar-free recipes, but also I try to make them as  low carb as I can and gluten free since this how I eat on a daily basis and what makes my body feel at it’s best.

My family ate these truffles up in a matter of days! I think they will be a new favorite of yours as well!

Classic keto fat bombs like these easy keto cookie dough truffles are a great way to start your low carb or ketogenic journey — especially if you’re transitioning away from a low-fat or sugar-heavy diet.

But as your body changes, your macros may need to change too. I learned that firsthand in perimenopause, and now I help women do the same through my Midlife Macro Method™ and my new cookbook, Good, Better, Best — where I share the exact strategies and meal plans that helped me lose 15 pounds in 2 months and keep it off.

So, whether you’re enjoying a fat bomb or an MMM-friendly yogurt bite, remember: your nutrition can evolve with your season of life — and it can still be absolutely delicious.

Can I turn this edible keto cookie dough into keto cookies?

While this raw cookie dough is delicious as a sweet treat, it may not work to make keto chocolate chip cookies since I haven’t tested it out myself. I would think you would need raw eggs to make this sugar free cookie dough recipe into actual cookies. 

This recipe was intentionally designed as edible cookie dough, which means the ingredient ratios create a creamy, truffle-like texture rather than a structure that spreads and crisps in the oven to create finished cookies.

How should I store these keto truffles?

Because these are no-bake cookie dough bites, they keep best in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. For longer storage, freeze in a parchment-lined container or bag for up to 3 months.

If you store them in the freezer, let them sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before enjoying for the perfect chewy, cookie dough texture.

Can I make them dairy free or nut free?

Absolutely! This recipe was created to be adaptable for allergies and preferences.

• For dairy free: Use coconut oil instead of butter and unsweetened almond or coconut milk.
• For nut free: Swap peanut butter and almond flour for sunflower seed butter and coconut flour.
• For MMM version: Keep the dairy (Greek yogurt or cottage cheese) but lighten the total fat for a balanced macro profile.

You’ll still get a rich, satisfying sugar-free truffle made from wholesome, simple ingredients that keep your sweet cravings in check — no added sugar required.
