Ingredients
  

  • What You Will Need
  • 2 tablespoons (32 g / 1.13 oz) almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon (14 g / 0.49 oz) coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) sugar-free coconut or maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups (120 g / 4.2 oz) unsweetened dried coconut flakes
  • 1/2 cup (56 g / 1.98 oz) flax meal
  • 2 tablespoons (24 g / 0.85 oz) granulated sugar substitute, like erythritol
  • 1/2 teaspoon (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) salt
  • 2 squares / 20g (0.71 oz) keto-friendly dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (35 g / 1.23 oz) slivered or chopped almonds
  • for Perfect Cookies
  • For a deeper, nuttier flavor, spread the coconut flakes on a baking sheet and toast at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes before adding to the mix.
  • If the dough feels too wet, let it sit for 5-10 minutes. The flax meal will absorb moisture and thicken it naturally.
  • Swap the almond butter for peanut butter or cashew butter, or add 1/2 teaspoon (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) of vanilla or almond extract for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week for maximum freshness.
