Notes
Ingredients Links For Keto Coconut Almond Cookies
- Almond Flour - This is the base for our cookies. It provides the best flavour.
- Coconut Flour - Coconut flour helps to improve the texture of the cookies by
- Unsweetened Shredded Coconut - You can use shredded, flaked or desiccated if you prefer.
- Sliced Almonds - These add a nice crunch to the cookies. Feel free to use flaked coconut pieces instead if you prefer an all-coconut cookie.
- Vanilla Extract - Both pure and artificial work just fine.
- Almond or Coconut Extract - You can use either. I used almond extract in mine.
- Sukrin Gold Sweetener - This is my favourite brown sugar substitute. Swerve brown works as well.
- Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener - This is my go-to sweetener for almost any keto dessert. It blends seamlessly into desserts.
- Xanthan Gum - Helps provide some chewiness to the cookies.
Tips For Making Keto Coconut Almond Cookies
- These may not seem done when they first come out of the oven, be sure to let them cool fully as they WILL firm up.
- These cookies are also tasty with chopped pecans or sugar free mini chocolate chips added.
- If you want thicker cookies, just barely flatten the tops of the cookies before baking. For thinner, crispier cookies, flatten them before baking (as seen in the photos/video).
