Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine natural peanut butter, almond flour, granulated sugar substitute, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix well until evenly combined.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and sea salt to the bowl. Stir until a thick cookie dough forms.
Gently fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern, if desired. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
