This is a slightly sweet cookie with a texture that reminds me of a pecan sandy. It is a perfect dessert for those on a low-carb or keto diet. For best taste, refrigerate before serving.

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened coconut
1 cup almond meal
⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
1 egg white
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
⅓ teaspoon stevia powder, or to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine coconut, almond meal, coconut oil, egg white, water, vanilla extract, Himalayan sea salt, and stevia powder in a large bowl. Let sit until coconut softens, about 10 minutes. Roll into generous tablespoon-sized balls; place on baking sheet. Flatten gently with a fork to prevent edges from crumbling.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cook's Notes:

For the stevia, I used 10 of the scoops provided in the container for a very lightly sweetened cookie. For a sweeter cookie (with added carbs), add a few tablespoons of organic maple syrup and cut back on the coconut oil.

These will not spread in the oven so the size you see is the size of the cookie.
