Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to combine.
-
Cream the Butter and Sweetener: In another bowl, beat together the softened butter (or coconut oil) and keto sweetener until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
-
Add the Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined. The dough will be thick.
-
Scoop and Shape the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.
-
Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve: Enjoy these Keto Cowboy Cookies as a delicious snack or dessert with your favorite keto-friendly beverage.
