🤠 Keto Cowboy Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • ½ cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (like Lily’s)
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon for a warm, spiced note

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients:
    In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, shredded coconut, pecans, flaxseed meal, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  3. Cream butter and sweetener:
    In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and erythritol until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until well combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry:
    Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet until a cookie dough forms. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
  5. Scoop and bake:
    Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to place dough on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie.
  6. Bake:
    Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before transferring—they firm up as they cool.

🔁 Storage:

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze for longer storage—just thaw for a few minutes before enjoying.

✅ Keto Tips:

  • Want it chewier? Add 1–2 tablespoons of peanut butter to the dough.
  • Dairy-free? Use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • Want a protein boost? Add a scoop of collagen powder or low-carb protein powder.
