Keto Cowboy Cookies

These keto cowboy cookies are loaded with flavor and texture, making them the perfect low-carb treat for any occasion.

The recipe is simple to follow and combines almond flour, flax meal, and shredded coconut to create a delicious base for the cookie dough.

To make these cookies, you’ll need a few key ingredients, including unsalted butter, sugar-free peanut or almond butter, granulated sugar substitute, eggs, and a variety of nuts and sugar-free chocolate chips. 

The dough comes together quickly and can be baked in just 12–15 minutes. I found that the cookies turned out perfectly golden brown around the edges and had a soft, chewy texture on the inside.

If you’re looking for a high-fiber cookie that is tasty and filling, I highly recommend trying out our low-carb cowboy cookie recipe.

Whether you’re following a strict ketogenic diet or simply looking to cut back on your sugar intake, these cookies are sure to please.

Keto Cowboy Cookies

These keto-friendly cowboy cookies are similar to the traditional recipe, except that our cookies do not use any regular flour, oatmeal, or oat flour since that would make them way too high in carbs to be allowed in a low-carb diet.

However, these great keto cookies rely on mostly dry ingredients such as gluten-free flaxseed, coconut flakes, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder, sugar substitutes, and chocolate chips, which gives them a great texture.

As for the wet ingredients, softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and peanut butter or almond butter are all you need to take your cookie game to the next level.

How to Make Keto Cowboy Cookies

To make these keto-friendly cowboy cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Then, measure the almond flour and golden flax and set them aside.

In a medium-sized bowl, using an electric mixer or a stand mixer, combine the softened butter, peanut butter or almond butter, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract. Mix until light and fluffy.

To this mixture, add the two eggs, one at a time, and combine until well incorporated.

Next, add the sifted almond flour, golden flax meal, coconut flakes, slivered almonds, chopped pecans, sugar-free chocolate chips, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon powder, and mix until just combined.

Be sure to scrape the sides of the mixer a few times during this process to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.

Using a small cookie scoop, place the dough on a lightly greased cookie sheet or parchment paper-lined sheet.

Slightly flatten the keto-friendly cookies with your fingers or the back of a spoon.

Bake the cookies in the oven until lightly brown around the edges, about 12–15 minutes.

Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 5 days or freeze them for up to 3 weeks.

Best Sugar-Free Sweetener Options

As far as which sugar substitute to use for these sugar-free cowboy cookies, I have a few recommendations. If you are a regular on our site, you know I’m a huge fan of Lakanto Monk Fruit.

This is because the texture of Lakanto is spot on since there is barely any aftertaste. It is a monk fruit and erythritol blend.

If you have not given this all-natural sweetener a try, you have no idea what you are missing.

I love that Lakanto Monk Fruit is all-natural and gets its sweetness from antioxidants called mogrosides instead of fructose or sucrose. And it has zero calories and zero glycemic impact.

You can also use their brown sugar substitute, which works beautifully for this recipe.

That being said, I’m also partial to Swerve, another erythritol blend.

It works well in this keto-friendly cowboy cookie recipe and is an excellent choice if you are looking for a sugar substitute that has no bitter aftertaste and measures just like sugar.

Swerve is made from ingredients found in select fruits and starchy root vegetables and contains no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or flavors. Like Lankanto, Swerve has a 0% impact on blood sugar.

Swerve also has a brown sugar option that is quite nice and that I can also recommend for these cookies.

I know some of you are stevia fans; if that’s you, you can use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure in this recipe.

However, it’s important to note that if you are using Pyure, you will want to use half the amount called for in this recipe since it’s a much sweeter option.

And if you are not doing keto and just looking for a gluten-free flour recipe, you can even use coconut sugar.

Join Our Jesus And Keto Movement 

Our family came to the keto diet looking at it from a Christian perspective. As believers, we live our entire lives supported by God’s grace.

So when the Holy Spirit led us to combine our Christian faith and the keto diet, we did so in hopes of finding lasting transformation.

To say we needed God’s intervention is to put it mildly. When we followed the Holy Spirit’s prompting, we got on the path to real transformation.

Knowing firsthand the benefits of this decision, we have created a closed Christian group that is using the keto diet to transform their lives.

I love how supportive and encouraging this group of believers is. It’s exciting to see how people are transforming their lives by combining this lifestyle with the Christian faith.

We invite you to join our Private Facebook Group and see if it’s not the key you have been missing.

Be sure to request our FREE Jesus and Keto E-Book (First 7 Days). We hope it blesses you.
