Keto Peanut Butter Patties
To make these cookies, you cover shortbread cookies with creamy peanut butter and then dip in our sugar free milk chocolate baking chips!
Are you scouting for the best keto versions of your favorite childhood cookies? Usually, these peanut butter patty cookies only come once a year, but we feel like little girls again because this keto recipe lets us make it year round. And, the best part is there's no sugar.
To make these cookies, you cover shortbread cookies with creamy peanut butter and then dip in our sugar free milk chocolate baking chips. Once you tell people you're making a batch, they're sure to want to tagalong for some keto treats.
How do you make the filling for a peanut butter patty? These cookies are special because you create your own peanut butter confectionary layer. This means mixing powdered sugar substitute with peanut butter and some vanilla extract. The layer then becomes soft and yummy, but won't go running off your cookie. From there, you can dip the cookies in melted chocolate. If you prefer a more adult version of the cookie, you can always use our sugar free dark chips.

What is a Peanut Butter Patty?
A Peanut Butter Patty is a shortbread-style cookie that is topped with peanut butter, and then enveloped in melted chocolate! “Tagalong” is a Girl Scout™ reference, because "tagalong'' is a game they used to play! However, there was a name change due to the baker that a newly-formed Girl Scout™ council chose. The new baker didn't own the more familiar names of four of the eight varieties on sale, so they changed the names of a few cookies including Tagalongs. "It will be a different name but basically the same cookie," said Kate Donahue, spokeswoman for the new Girl Scouts™ of North East Ohio. So now, they’re called peanut butter patties!
What is the difference between Tagalongs and Peanut Butter Patties?
There is pretty much no difference between Tagalongs and Peanut Butter Patties. They taste and look the same. However, Tagalongs have more layers of peanut butter inside the chocolate coating!
What is the most popular Girl Scout™ Cookie?
The most popular Girl Scout™ Cookie, and probably the most well known, is Thin Mints which is why we have a keto thin mint recipe! And while these Peanut Butter Patties are not as popular as thin mints, this cookie has been popular for years due to its peanut butter creaminess and chocolate excellence–something we certainly can get behind as chocolatiers.
Can you use other nut butters in Peanut Butter Patties?
You can definitely use other nut butters in Peanut Butter Patties if you’re allergic! Some nut butters include macadamia nut, almond butter, cashew, and sunflower butter! Our personal favorite is sunflower seed butter, since it has such a deep and rich taste to it while also not having tree nut allergies.
Can sugar free chocolate melt and coat cookies?
Sugar free chocolate can melt and coat cookies! This recipe gives you the best tips on how to melt your ChocZero sugar free chocolate chips. Our keto chocolate chips are perfect for baking, and we pride ourselves in making our products usable in the kitchen just as much as the non-keto friendly, more common alternatives.
How do I make tagalongs at home?
The best way to make tagalongs at home is by using ingredients that are high quality, and by following our recipe as closely as possible. If some of the ingredients are off, it can throw off the recipe which can lead to your time and resources being wasted. And, if you skip steps, the recipe may turn out completely different than what it’s supposed to be: which is a very similar copycat Tagalong recipe!
Are there any gluten free Girl Scout™ cookies?
Toffee-tastic and Caramel Chocolate Chip cookies are the official gluten free Girl Scout™ cookies. However, the most popular cookies such as peanut butter, chocolate, mint, and lemon are not gluten free. They tend to be popular since those flavors are popular flavors in general!
Is peanut butter keto-friendly?
Peanut butter is keto-friendly in the sense that it can be part of a keto diet. However, plain options that are free of extra flavors and sweeteners are a lot safer and better for keto diets, and if you have peanut butter, you should be mindful of your portion size. A good choice is almond butter since it's slightly lower in carbs. You can swap peanut butter for almond butter in most recipes!
What is the best way to store keto Peanut Butter Patties?
The best way to store keto Peanut Butter Patties is to place the cookies into an airtight container, close as tightly as possible, and keep in a dry and cool area. They should last for several days. You can also use a resealable bag! If you want them to last longer, try putting them in the fridge. They will last a while longer and you can try them chilled!
