KETO COWBOY COOKIES

By deiv3 on July 30, 2024

Ingredients:

1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener (adjust to taste)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts work well, optional)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional for a chocolate twist)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and erythritol until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, shredded coconut, chia seeds, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder if using.
Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until well combined. If using, fold in the chocolate chips and nuts.
Form Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers, as they won't spread much during baking.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your Keto Cowboy Cookies with a cup of coffee or tea! They're great for a low-carb treat or snack.

KETO COWBOY COOKIES

Ingredients

For the Cookie Base:

2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (such as Lily's)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir in the shredded coconut, chopped nuts, sugar-free chocolate chips, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Cream the Butter and Sweeteners: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated erythritol until light and fluffy. Beat in the sugar-free maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated. The dough should be thick but manageable.
Shape the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each dough ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon, as these cookies will not spread much during baking.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. The cookies may appear slightly soft in the center, but they will firm up as they cool.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Tips and Variations

Nut Options: You can substitute pecans or walnuts with other nuts like almonds or macadamia nuts, depending on your preference.
Add-Ins: Feel free to add other keto-friendly ingredients like flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, or even a few sugar-free dried cranberries for added texture and flavor.
Sweetness Adjustment: Adjust the sweetness level by increasing or decreasing the amount of sweetener to your taste.

These Keto Cowboy Cookies are a delightful treat for anyone following a low-carb lifestyle. They're packed with nuts, chocolate, and coconut, delivering a satisfying crunch and a burst of flavor with every bite. Enjoy them as a quick snack, a dessert, or even a breakfast option!
