Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2/3 cup natural chunky peanut butter (or any nut butter)
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 4 drops liquid vanilla stevia (or liquid sweetener of choice)
- Melt Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until fully liquefied and warm.
- Combine Peanut Butter and Cocoa: Stir in the peanut butter and cocoa powder into the melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Coconut and Sweetener: Mix in the shredded coconut and liquid vanilla stevia thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of sweetness and texture.
- Portion Cookies: Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon-sized spoonfuls onto a small parchment-lined sheet pan or any dish suitable for freezing, like a cutting board or plate.
- Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer for about 15 minutes to allow the cookies to set firmly.
- Separate and Store: After freezing, cut the parchment paper into small squares, leaving each cookie on a piece to prevent sticking. Store the cookies in a sealed container or bag in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Vanilla stevia drops can be found on Amazon for about $13 and last a long time; they add sweetness without any bitter aftertaste.
- For variation, consider adding low-carb mix-ins such as chopped nuts, flaxseed, or sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Store cookies in the fridge inside a sealed bag or container to maintain freshness and prevent sticking.
