Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
- Prepare the egg whites:
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- Add sweetener and vanilla:
- Gradually add the powdered erythritol while continuing to beat the egg whites. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Fold in coconut and chocolate:
- Gently fold in the shredded coconut and chopped sugar-free dark chocolate or chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Scoop onto the baking sheet:
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake at low temperature:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until the cookies are firm to the touch and lightly golden.
- Cool and enjoy:
- Allow the cookies to cool entirely on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container:
- Once completely cooled, store the keto forgotten cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Notes:
- For the best results, make sure the egg whites are at room temperature.
- You can customize the chocolate by using different percentages of cocoa or adding nuts for extra texture.
These keto forgotten cookies are a delightful treat for those following a low-carb or keto diet. Enjoy the sweet taste without the guilt of high sugar content.
