Keto Cowboy Cookies
Keto Cowboy Cookies are a low-carb treat featuring almond flour and oat fiber for structure, combined with pecans, unsweetened shredded coconut, and sugar-free chocolate chips to add texture and rich flavor. The cookie dough is thick and sticky, producing cookies with a tender crumb and a hint of cinnamon spice. These cookies bake quickly and can be sized as preferred, spreading moderately during baking.
Ingredients
- 10 Tbsp butter softened, not melted, unsalted
- ½ cup brown sugar packed, sugar-free
- 2 egg large
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 1 1/3 cups almond flour packed, finely ground
- 1/3 cup oat fiber
- 2/3 cup pecans chopped
- ⅔ cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the butter and sugar-free brown sugar to a stand mixer (or mixing bowl if using an electric hand mixer) and beat on medium-high speed until combined and fluffy.
- Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the mixing bowl, then add the eggs and the vanilla extract. Beat until the wet ingredients are combined and creamy. Again, scrape the sides of the mixer with a rubber spatula.
- Stir together the remaining dry ingredients in a bowl and pour it into the mixer. Beat on medium-high until the dough is very well combined, thick, and sticky. IF the dough seems too wet or sticky, refrigerate it for at least 15 minutes prior to baking.
- Scoop the cookie dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, making any size cookies you like. The cookies will spread during the baking process, so give the dough balls plenty of room to expand. Bake for 8 to 13 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies. For regular sized cookies, go with 8 to 11 minutes, and for larger cookies, bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Oat fiber can be replaced with 1/2 to 2/3 cup of quick oats for more carb content and oat flavor.
- Alternatively, substitute oat fiber with 1/2 cup additional almond flour to reduce carbs but lose oat flavor.
