📝 Ingredients (Makes 20–22 cookies)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional but amazing!)

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated monk fruit or erythritol
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Mix-Ins (the cowboy magic!)

  • ¾ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • Optional: ¼ cup sugar-free chopped coconut flakes

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Cream the butter + sweetener

Beat butter and monk fruit until light and fluffy.
This keeps your cookies soft and tender!

2️⃣ Add egg + vanilla

Mix until smooth.

3️⃣ Add dry ingredients

Stir in almond flour, shredded coconut, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
The dough will be thick and slightly sticky — perfect.

4️⃣ Fold in cowboy add-ins

Stir in:
✔ pecans
✔ sugar-free chocolate chips
✔ extra coconut if using

Every scoop should be loaded!

5️⃣ Chill the dough

Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
This keeps them thick, chewy, and prevents over-spreading.

6️⃣ Scoop + bake

Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
Scoop 1–2 tablespoon balls onto a parchment-lined tray.
Flatten slightly.

Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden.

7️⃣ Cool on the pan

Let cookies cool completely — they set as they cool.
Then prepare your tastebuds. 🤤
