Notes
- Sweetener Options: These cookies work with a variety of sweeteners including monk fruit, erythritol, allulose, xylitol, coconut sugar, maple syrup, honey, or liquid sugar-free sweeteners. Adjust the amount to taste depending on the sweetener used. If using liquid sweeteners, you may need a little extra coconut to help the mixture hold together. The color of the cookies will change if using a darker sweetener.
- Blender Tip: Be careful not to over-process the mixture, especially in a high-speed blender, or it may turn into coconut butter.
- Salt: Start with less salt and adjust to taste depending on the salt you use and how salty you prefer desserts.
- Storage: Store at room temperature for a day or two, or refrigerate for a firmer texture and longer storage.
- Optional Variations: Top with melted chocolate, chopped nuts, or extra coconut for more texture and flavor.
