What You’ll Need
To whip up these cookies, gather the following ingredients:

- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Feel free to substitute almond flour with coconut flour, but adjust the quantity since coconut flour is more absorbent. Using a nut butter of your choice can also add different flavor profiles!
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the almond flour and cocoa powder until evenly combined.
- In another bowl, combine the nut butter, chosen sweetener, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the wet mixture, ensuring everything is well mixed.
- If you like, fold in the chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips for added texture.
- Scoop out spoonfuls of the dough and form them into cookie shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until they become firm.
- Once set, enjoy your delicious keto no bake cookies!
