Keto and Low-Carb Cowboy Cookies
Ingredients
10 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened, not melted
½ cup sugar-free brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups finely ground almond flour, packed
1/3 cup oat fiber*
2/3 cup pecans, chopped
⅔ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and with parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
To a stand mixer (or mixing bowl if using an electric hand mixer), add the butter and sugar-free brown sugar and until it gets combined and fluffy, beat on medium-high speed.
To scrape the sides of the mixing bowl, use a rubber spatula, then add the vanilla extract and the eggs. Beat until it gets combined and creamy. Again, with a rubber spatula, scrape the sides of the mixer.
In a bowl, stir together the remaining (dry) ingredients and pour it into the mixer. Until the dough is very well combined, thick, and sticky, beat on medium-high.
Onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, scoop the cookie dough, and bake for EIGHT to THIRTEEN minutes, depending on the size of your cookies – for larger cookies, bake for 11 to 13, and for regular sized cookies, go with 8 to 11.
From the oven, take out cookies.
For TEN minutes, allow them to cool before serving.
Notes
*If you don't mind adding some carb to the cookies, you can replace the oat fiber with 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup of quick oats. If you don't mind losing the oat flavor, you can also replace it with 1/2 cup of additional almond flour.
