Ingredients
2/3 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granular keto sweetener
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, optional
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter and keto sweetener until light and creamy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Stir in the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until a thick dough forms.
5. Fold in the unsweetened shredded coconut if using, then let the dough rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Scoop small portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten the tops.
7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set.
8. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
Let the dough rest before scooping so the coconut flour can absorb moisture properly.
Do not overbake, because the cookies continue to firm up as they cool.
For the best texture, measure coconut flour carefully and level it off rather than packing it.
