3 Ingredient Keto No Bake Chewy Coconut Cookies
These chewy coconut cookies don't require any baking or cooking and take only about five minutes to make. They make a great snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (128 g) unsweetened natural peanut butter, or unsweetened natural almond butter
- 1.5 tbsp (22 ml) sugar free maple flavored syrup
- 4 tbsp (19 g) unsweetened finely shredded coconut, or more as needed
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Mix with a spatula until syrup is fully incorporated and a thick dough forms. If the dough does not seem thick enough, you can add 1-2 more tablespoons of coconut. Taste dough and adjust as needed. If you prefer sweeter, you can add another 1/2 tbsp of syrup. If you want more coconut flavor, you can add a little more coconut.
- Use a 1 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop out dough balls, placing them on the prepared cookie sheet spaced 1 inch apart.
- Roll a dough ball between your palms to form a smooth round ball and then place back onto cookie sheet. Press down on the dough ball with the palm of your hand or the back of a metal spoon to form a thick round disk. Repeat with remaining dough. If desired, sprinkle some additional shredded coconut on top (this is what I did for the ones in the photos).
- Place cookies in the fridge (uncovered) for about 30 minutes or until they are firm enough to lift off and hold easily. Store uneaten cookies in the fridge in an airtight container.
Notes
- The cookies can be enjoyed without refrigerating, but refrigerating the dough will help them firm up a little, which makes them easier to hold and eat like cookies.
- How much coconut you need to firm up the dough can vary depending on how finely shredded the coconut is and how much syrup you use.
- You can make the cookies bigger if you prefer bigger cookies.
- This recipe works best with a thin, watery consistency syrup. The dough doesn't firm up quite as well with thicker syrups.
- You must use natural peanut butter or natural almond butter. Regular peanut butter/almond butter which contains added oils will not work because the dough will not firm up.
