Ingredients

¾ cup butter, softened
1 ¼ cup brown sugar substitute
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups blanched almond flour
2 tablespoons grassfed gelatin (optional, adds chewiness)
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325ºF and line 2 cookie sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper. Set the oven racks to the second highest and second lowest positions in the oven.
In a large bowl, beat the butter with the sweetener until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes on medium high. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.
Add the almond flour, gelatin, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat until just mixed together. Stir in the coconut, pecans, and the chocolate chips.
Form the dough into 2-inch balls and space at least 3 inches apart on the cookie sheets. Press the balls down with the heel of your hand to about 3/4 inch thick. These cookies will spread so give them room!
Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown, switching the pans and rotating them halfway through. Let cool completely on the pans.

Notes

– For the chewiest Keto Cowboy Cookies, don’t skip the grassfed gelatin! It makes a noticeable difference in texture. – Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth, well-emulsified dough. – Listen for the gentle hiss of butter and sweetener creaming together, indicating it’s light and fluffy, not just mixed. This aeration is key. – Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the oven.
