0.25cupketo-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit)
0.5cupsmooth natural almond butter
0.5teaspoonvanilla extract
0.25teaspoonsalt
0.25cupunsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for a chocolate flavor)
2tablespoonscoconut oil, melted
0.25cupunsweetened dark chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Begin by preparing a large mixing bowl. Add the almond flour, shredded coconut, keto-friendly sweetener, and salt. If you desire a chocolate version of these cookies, incorporate the cocoa powder into the dry mixture at this stage, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, combine the almond butter, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, creating a silky base for your cookie dough.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or your hands to stir the mixture until all components are fully combined. The resulting dough should be slightly sticky but should easily hold its shape when pressed together.
To form the cookies, utilize a tablespoon to scoop out even portions of the dough. Roll each portion into a small ball for a classic cookie look, or flatten them into disc shapes if you prefer a more traditional cookie appearance.
Arrange the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a plate. For an added touch of decadence, sprinkle the tops with dark chocolate chips to enhance both flavor and texture.
Place the assembled cookies in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes. This step allows them to firm up, making them perfect for indulgence. After the chilling period, your no-bake cookies will be ready to enjoy!
Notes
Present the cookies on a decorative plate for an inviting display. Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of shredded coconut or finely chopped nuts.
