Ingredients
Main 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)
Instructions
- Melt the butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of butter until fully liquefied to provide a smooth base for the cookie mixture.
- Mix peanut butter and cocoa: Stir in 2/3 cup of natural chunky peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder into the melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add shredded coconut and sweetener: Fold in 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut and 4 drops of liquid vanilla stevia, mixing thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Form cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a small parchment-lined sheet pan or freezer-safe dish, shaping individual cookies.
- Freeze cookies: Place the cookies in the freezer for 15 minutes to set and harden.
- Separate and store: Once firm, cut and separate the parchment paper keeping each cookie with its piece of paper to prevent sticking. Store the cookies in a sealed container or bag in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Vanilla stevia can be purchased online (e.g., Amazon) and lasts a very long time, making it a great low-carb sweetener for various recipes including coffee and yogurt.
- For extra texture and flavor, consider adding chopped nuts, flaxseed, or sugar-free chocolate chips to the cookie mixture.
