- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions:
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 27 minutes
Servings: 18 cookies
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sweetener: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated erythritol using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Fold in Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Form Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into 18 equal-sized balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. Be careful not to overbake to maintain a soft and chewy texture.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Once cooled, enjoy these Keto Cowboy Cookies with a glass of almond milk or your favorite keto-friendly beverage.
