Recipe: Keto Cowboy Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (use sugar-free for keto)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup or sugar-free honey substitute

Instructions:

Preparing the Dough:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped pecans or walnuts, dark chocolate chips, chia seeds, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  3. In another bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter and granulated erythritol (or your chosen keto-friendly sweetener) until it becomes creamy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the sugar-free maple syrup or sugar-free honey substitute while continuing to mix.
  6. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until a cookie dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can refrigerate it for about 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Baking:
  1. Using a spoon or your hands, form cookie dough balls (about 1-2 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
  3. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
