How to make Keto Magic Cookies
Making Keto Magic Cookies is a straightforward process. You don’t need any special baking skills to pull this off. Follow the steps below to create these delicious cookies in no time.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (120g)
- 1 cup chopped pecans (120g)
- 1 cup Swerve confectioners sugar substitute (120g)
- 1 cup Bake Believe semi-sweet chocolate chips (170g)
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (80g)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (120ml)
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup butter, softened (115g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (1g)
Directions:
- Begin by adding the egg yolks, coconut oil, and softened butter to a mixing bowl. Blend these ingredients until they are well combined.
- Next, mix in the chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, Swerve confectioners sugar substitute, Bake Believe chocolate chips, unsweetened coconut flakes, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir the mixture well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Once combined, chill the batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This chilling step helps the mixture set and makes it easier to shape the cookies.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- After the batter has chilled, use a spoon to drop the cookie mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Form each portion into a cookie shape using your hands or the back of the spoon.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until they are lightly golden on the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. This will help them firm up and makes them easier to handle.
