Keto Copycat Samoas Cookies

/


Although my full time job hasn’t closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and I’m not quarantined, I had a half day of work today! So naturally, I used it to make something sweet for you guys. Let me just say, holy moly, these have all the taste of the Samoas we know and love, but a lot fresher and keto friendly of course! Let’s dive into this recipe!

Ingredients for cookies:

  • 2 Cups almond flour
  • 1/2 Cup of confectioner’s monkfruit (I used Lakanto)
  • 1/2 tsp of baking soda
  • 1 egg
  • 1 stick of unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Ingredients for toppings:

  • keto friendly chocolate chips (a little bit of coconut oil too)
  • unsweetened coconut flakes
  • Walden Farms caramel dip (or you can make your own, but sometimes I like working smarter and not harder)

Instructions for cookies:

  • Preheat your oven to 350
  • add all cookie ingredients to a stand mixer, or a large mixing bowl and use a hand mixer. Mix until well combined.
  • use a cookie scoop and you should get 16-18 cookies, and place them on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
  • when you plop them on the paper, use the back of the scoop to flatten the cookies. (optional, but if you wish, use the end of a wooden spoon to put a hole in the middle of the cookies)
  • bake for 10-12 minutes
  • let cool completely!

Instructions for toppings:

  • add about a cup of your chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl, and a plop of coconut oil and microwave in 30 second intervals until melted. (my microwave sucks, so I go old fashioned, and make a double boiler)
  • once cookies are completely cooled, start dipping the bottoms into the chocolate, just coating the bottom, and put them back on your parchment paper (as long as the pan isn’t still warm from earlier)
  • in a separate bowl, combine your desired amount of coconut flakes and caramel dip. I liked mine a little stiffer, so I used more coconut than dip. But, you can do what you like. Add that to the tops of the cookies.
  • then use a fork and drizzle some more of your melted chocolate on the tops, and let the cookies sit until all the chocolate sets, then ENJOY!

Keto Monster Cookies

/

My best dessert recipe to date! (Sorry for the lack of posts recently) These were FABULOUS! They were crispy on the bottom and edges, and delicate and chewy in the center. Gotta give this a try!

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup granulated white monkfruit
  • 1/2 cup granulated golden monkfruit
  • 1 cup Carbquik (amazon or some walmart stores carry it)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 egg
  • stick of butter
  • 3/4 cup no sugar added peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • keto friendly chocolate chips (I used Let’s Bake Believe)
  • atkins M&M’s

Directions:

  • Preheat your oven to 350
  • Either in a big mixing bowl with a hand mixer, or a stand mixer, cream the sugars and butter together for about two minutes until well combined and creamy.
  • Add in the peanut butter, vanilla, and egg and mix.
  • Slowly add in your dry ingredients.
  • Once well combined, fold in half of the chocolate chips and M&M’s
  • Take a cookie scoop or a spoon, and overfill it. (these are monster cookies for a reason) Place the dough on some parchment paper, and flatten out with the back of your scoop or spoon, and top each one with more chocolate chips and M&M’s.
  • Pop them in the oven for about 12 minutes.
  • Let cool completely, then enjoy.
