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 the Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until it is fully liquified, which usually takes about 20-30 seconds depending on your microwave.
- Combine Peanut Butter and Cocoa: Stir the natural chunky peanut butter and cocoa powder into the melted butter until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
- Add Coconut and Sweetener: Mix in the unsweetened shredded coconut and the vanilla stevia drops thoroughly, ensuring the mixture is evenly blended.
- Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto a parchment-lined sheet pan or any flat dish that fits into your freezer.
- Freeze: Place the pan or dish into the freezer for 15 minutes to allow the cookies to set and firm up.
- Separate and Store: After freezing, cut the parchment paper to separate the cookies while keeping each cookie on its own piece of parchment to prevent sticking. Store the cookies in a sealed container or Ziploc bag in the refrigerator for freshness. Enjoy chilled.
Notes
- Vanilla stevia can be purchased on Amazon and typically lasts a long time, making it ideal for low carb desserts and other drinks like coffee or yogurt.
- You can personalize these cookies by adding low carb mix-ins such as chopped nuts, flaxseeds, or sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Storing cookies on parchment paper prevents them from sticking together in the fridge or freezer.
- These cookies are best served cold straight from the refrigerator for a refreshing taste.
