The title speaks for itself.. Not much to say other than I was craving something like this. The idea to fill it with peanut butter cups just came to me a few days ago.. then I HAD to do it. Who doesn’t love a giant, gooey cookie topped with ice cream? No one I know
The best part about making this is it is SO incredibly easy. Keto cookies are SO forgiving. It doesn’t take a lot of technicality as does baking with regular flour.
