Keto Maple Coconut Crisp Cookies (Print Version)

Buttery, crisp low-carb cookies with maple and coconut flavor, perfect for keto snacking.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 ½ cups blanched almond flour
02 - ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
03 - ¼ cup coconut flour
04 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
05 - ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
07 - ⅓ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
08 - 2 large eggs, room temperature
09 - 1 ½ teaspoons sugar-free maple extract
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Topping (Optional)

11 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut

# Step-by-step Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, shredded coconut, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with the powdered sweetener until smooth. Add the eggs, maple extract, and vanilla extract, then whisk until fully incorporated.
04 - Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and stir with a spatula until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
05 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each portion slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
06 - Sprinkle the tops of each cookie with extra shredded coconut, if desired.
07 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
08 - Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely for maximum crispness.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The combination of almond and coconut flours creates a genuine buttery crunch that rivals traditional cookies.
  • Maple extract brings warm flavor without adding a single gram of sugar, which feels almost like cheating.
02 -
  • Skipping the cooling step on the wire rack leaves you with soft cookies that never achieve that satisfying snap.
  • Coconut flour absorbs liquid differently depending on the brand, so if your dough feels too wet, add half a tablespoon more and let it sit for a minute.
03 -
  • Let the melted butter cool to room temperature before mixing or you will end up with scrambled egg streaks in your dough.
  • Always check your sweetener and extract labels for hidden carbs and fillers, because not all keto products are created equal.
