Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup erythritol or any other keto-approved sweetener
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a thick dough forms.
  5. Take about one tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the cookie dough ball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 1 inch apart.
  6. Using the palm of your hand, gently press down on each cookie to flatten it slightly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once the cookies have cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
