Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup Swerve powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 Tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 Tbsp granulated Swerve or monk fruit sweetener (optional)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, powdered Swerve, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, cream of tartar, and salt.
- Add melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms. Fold in shredded coconut.
- If using the cinnamon coating, mix the optional granulated sweetener and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Roll the dough into 12 balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each). Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sweetener mix if desired. Flatten each ball slightly onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Avoid overbaking.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
- If the dough is too dry or crumbly, add 1–2 teaspoons of water. If too wet, add a bit more almond flour.
- Sweetener can be adjusted to taste or substituted with other keto-friendly options like erythritol or allulose.
