👩🍳 How to Make Low-Carb Cowboy Cookies
1️⃣ Cream the butter & sweeteners
In a large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sweetener, and monk fruit until creamy.
2️⃣ Add the egg + vanilla
Mix in until smooth and fluffy.
3️⃣ Add dry ingredients
Stir in almond flour, coconut, nuts, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
4️⃣ Fold in chocolate chips
Use sugar-free chips or chunks for extra meltiness.
5️⃣ Form cookies
Scoop into 1½–2 tbsp balls and lightly flatten (these don’t spread much).

Place on a lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, until golden around the edges.
7️⃣ Cool completely
They firm up as they cool — resist the urge to grab them too early!
