How to Make Keto Low‑Carb Coconut Shortbread Cookies

PIN IT

1. Preheat & Prep:
   Preheat your oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   (I’m always tempted to take a tiny taste of the dough—so keen smells already!)
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
   In your bowl, combine shredded coconut, almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, and salt. Stir until evenly blended.
3. Add in the Wet Ingredients:
   Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix until everything binds together into a soft, slightly crumbly dough. (That buttery aroma—you’re doing great!)
4. Shape the Cookies:
   Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out dough and gently press it into flattened rounds on the tray.
5. Bake to Golden Perfection:
   Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges just begin to turn golden brown.
   (Hovering over the oven is totally allowed—it smells divine!)
6. Cool & Firm Up:
   Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. They’ll crisp and finish setting beautifully.

What to Serve with Keto Low‑Carb Coconut Shortbread Cookies

• Beverage Pairings: A creamy coconut latte, matcha chai, or herbal peppermint tea work wonderfully.
• Presentation Ideas: Stack them on a cute plate with fresh berries or garnish with a mint sprig for a café‑style touch.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t overbake! The cookies will firm up as they cool—golden edges are your go‑ahead.
• Let the dough rest in the fridge for 10 minutes if it feels too sticky—it’ll be easier to shape.
• Make ahead and freeze dough balls—then bake fresh anytime you want.

Storage Instructions

• Room Temp: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freezing: Freeze fully baked cookies (layered with parchment) for up to 2 months—thaw at room temp.
• Dough Storage: Freeze baked dough balls and bake fresh when the craving hits!

These cookies blend the buttery magic of classic shortbread with tropical coconut flair. Coconut flour and almond flour deliver low-carb goodness with a subtle nutty flavor. Perfect for enjoying guilt‑free, even during festive seasons when temptations call!

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use regular sugar instead of erythritol?
You can—just expect more carbs and a different texture as sugar caramelizes more readily.

2. Why do my cookies fall apart after baking?
Chilling the dough briefly helps them hold shape, and letting them cool on the sheet gives them time to crisp up.

3. Can I add chocolate chips?
Absolutely—just use sugar‑free (keto‑friendly) chips and press them lightly into each cookie before baking.

4. Are they gluten-free?
Yes! With almond and coconut flours, they are naturally gluten-free (great news for sensitive tummies).
