Description

Indulge in these Keto Coconut Cookies, a perfect combination of crispy and chewy textures with a rich coconut flavor. Made with low-carb ingredients like almond flour, shredded coconut, and a keto-friendly sweetener, these cookies are sugar-free, gluten-free, and keto-approved. Whether you’re craving a sweet snack or need a quick dessert, these cookies are the ultimate guilt-free treat


Ingredients

For the Cookies:

  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil (or butter), sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

4. Combine the Mixtures:
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add 1 tablespoon of coconut milk for extra moisture.

5. Shape the Cookies:
Scoop small portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the lined baking sheet, spaced 1 inch apart, and gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon.

6. Bake to Perfection:
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. The center should still be slightly soft.

7. Cool and Serve:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store for later!

Notes

Sweetener Options: Feel free to use monk fruit, erythritol, or stevia, adjusting the quantity based on your desired sweetness.
Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.
Texture Tip: For chewier cookies, add an extra egg yolk. For crispier cookies, bake an extra 2-3 minutes.
Flavor Variations: Try adding sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped almonds for extra crunch!
Dairy-Free Option: Substitute coconut oil instead of butter for a completely dairy-free version.
