🛒 Ingredients (Makes 18–20 cookies)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups almond flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
  • ½ cup low-carb oats (or keto-friendly granola)
  • ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar substitute (Swerve Brown or Besti Brown)
  • ¼ cup granular sweetener (or monk fruit)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 How to Make Low-Carb Cowboy Cookies

1️⃣ Cream the butter & sweeteners

In a large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sweetener, and monk fruit until creamy.

2️⃣ Add the egg + vanilla

Mix in until smooth and fluffy.

3️⃣ Add dry ingredients

Stir in almond flour, coconut, nuts, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

4️⃣ Fold in chocolate chips

Use sugar-free chips or chunks for extra meltiness.

5️⃣ Form cookies

Scoop into 1½–2 tbsp balls and lightly flatten (these don’t spread much).

6️⃣ Bake

Place on a lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, until golden around the edges.

7️⃣ Cool completely

They firm up as they cool — resist the urge to grab them too early!
