Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 Cup Flaked Almonds (or chopped nuts of choice)
- 1/2 Cup Shredded Coconut
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
- 1/2 Cup Stevia
- 50g (1.76 ounces) Unsalted Butter or 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil (for dairy free option)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking tray: Line a baking tray with well greased baking parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the flaked almonds and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
- Melt wet ingredients: In a small saucepan over medium heat, place the peanut butter, stevia, and butter or coconut oil. Heat gently, stirring continuously until the butter has fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Mix wet and dry: Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the almond and coconut mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and form a sticky dough.
- Form cookies: Using a tablespoon, drop dollops of the dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them evenly. Fill the tray with a single layer of cookies.
- Chill to set: Place the tray in the refrigerator for several hours, allowing the cookies to firm up and harden.
- Serve and store: Enjoy the cookies chilled for a crisp texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute flaked almonds with any chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
- Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free alternative.
- Sweetener can be adjusted; stevia keeps it low sugar, but honey or maple syrup can be used if preferred.
- Ensure the cookies are chilled long enough to fully set for the best texture.
- Store cookies refrigerated to prevent them from softening.
