KETO Almond Joy Cookies
Servings: 16 cookies
Calories: 237kcal
Ingredients
1 1/2 Cups Unsweetened Coconut
1/2 Cup Sliced Almonds
1/2 cup pecans
1 cup Lily’s Stevia Unsweetened Chocolate Chips
Keto condensed milk
(Keto Condensed Milk Ingredients)
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup monk fruit (or your favorite granulated or powdered sweetener) ex: swerve confectioners
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Make Sweetened Condensed Milk and allow to cool completely
Instructions for Keto Condensed Milk –
Place heavy cream, butter, and sweetener in a medium sized saucepan or skillet over medium heat. The larger and more shallow the pan, the faster your milk will reduce.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 15 to 20 minutes or until reduced by nearly half, stirring several times to prevent scorching.
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Dry ingredients:
Mix unsweetened coconut, almonds, pecan, and chocolate chips.
Add Sweetened Condensed Milk to coconut mixture and stir until combined.
Using a small cookie scoop, place “dough” in the cavities of a greased muffin tin.
With your fingers, press cookies down slightly.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until edges are turning golden brown.
Remove from oven and place the muffin tin in the freezer for 30 minutes. (The cookies are very soft when they come out of the oven. Placing them in the freezer helps them firm up so they are not crumbly.)
Makes approximately 16 cookies.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer.
