Ingredients
  

  • What You Will Need
  • 1/4 cup (57 g / 2.01 oz) butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup (67 g / 2.36 oz) Stevia, granulated
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) molasses
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (28 g / 0.99 oz) Bob's Red Mill almond meal
  • 6 Tbsp (30 g / 1.06 oz) Bob's Red Mill shredded coconut
  • 1/4 tsp (1 g / 0.04 oz) xanthan gum
  • for Perfect Cookies
  • For a deeper, nuttier flavor, toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden before adding it to the mix.
  • Ensure your butter is properly softened to room temperature, not melted. This is key to achieving the perfect chewy texture.
  • These cookies are delicate when warm. Letting them cool first on the baking sheet and then on a wire rack is essential to help them firm up and prevent breaking.
  • For an extra touch of flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon (20 ml / 0.7 fl oz) of almond extract along with the vanilla, or mix in a tablespoon of sugar-free chocolate chips.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C.
  3. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  4. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and Stevia together until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in the molasses and vanilla extract until they are fully incorporated.
  6. In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the almond meal, shredded coconut, and xanthan gum.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet , mixing on low speed until a cohesive dough forms.
  8. Do not overmix.
  9. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
  11. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
