Ingredients
Natural chunky peanut butter – ⅔ cup
Unsweetened shredded coconut – 1 cup
Butter – 2 tablespoons (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
Cocoa powder – 1 tablespoon
Liquid vanilla stevia – 4 drops
Instructions
**Prepare the Surface**
Line a small baking sheet or plate with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
**Melt the Butter**
Microwave butter for 20–30 seconds until fully melted but not hot.
**Mix the Base**
Stir peanut butter and cocoa powder into the melted butter until smooth and fully combined.
**Add Coconut and Sweetener**
Fold in shredded coconut and liquid vanilla stevia until evenly coated.
**Form Cookies**
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto parchment paper and gently shape into rounds.
**Freeze to Set**
Place cookies in the freezer for 15 minutes until firm.
**Store**
Separate cookies with parchment and store chilled or frozen until ready to serve.
Notes
• Use natural peanut butter with only peanuts and salt for best texture.
• Chunky peanut butter adds crunch; add crushed peanuts if using smooth.
• Monk fruit or erythritol can replace stevia if not keto-strict.
• Cookies soften quickly at room temperature; serve chilled.
• Store in the freezer for up to 3 months or refrigerate for 2 weeks.
