I did the Keto diet for a whole year, and one of my still favorite low carb recipes is my best Low Carb Chocolate Coconut Cookies. I’ve played around with a few combinations, and wanted to share my favorite chocolate chip coconut cookie recipe – Yum!
It’s pretty simple, and only requires 9 ingredients!
First, start with 1 stick of unsalted butter. Soften in the microwave or at room temperature. Using a hand or other mixer, with the Erythritol (I like this brand here). Add the egg and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, coconut flakes and baking powder. Combine with the butter mixture, mixing only until combined.
Next, mix the dark chocolate shavings into the cookie batter by hand, only until combined.
Place cookies on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes at 325 degrees. They are pretty flaky until they cool, after about 20 minutes. I love mine served chilled in the fridge.
Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS FOR MY BEST LOW CARB CHOCOLATE COCONUT COOKIES:
- 1 ¼ cup almond flour (this super fine almond flour works well)
- 1 tbsp coconut flour (I also like this coconut flour)
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup sweetener (I prefer Erythritol)
- 1 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 stick salted butter, softened or at room temperature
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 2-3 squares of a dark chocolate bar (I use 1 of a 90% cocoa and 2 of 86% cocoa), chopped into shavings
This yields about 14-16 cookies, and is around 2.5 net carbs per cookie.
Yum!
