Coconut Cookies

OK I just made these cookies. The site (below) where I got the recipe said they are not super sweet (which they are not) but they are Super-SUPER DRY...  She says they remind her of Pecan Sandies. I don't know if I would go that far, but they have potential.

I am getting very familiar with using coconut flour and this recipe calls for only 2 eggs but has the 1c of butter or oil. I don't think that's enough.

You are supposed to use 2 eggs for every 1/4 c of coconut flour. Maybe by adding more eggs they might not be so dry.

Someone else make them and let me know.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup almond flour
1  cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder

1 cup softened butter or coconut oil (I used 1/2c of ea.)
15 drops of SweetLeaf SteviaClear Liquid Stevia
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs

**I remember that 1 tbsp of Braggs apple cider vinegar will help keep it moist**

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the dry ingredients together first - then add the wet ingredients.

Scoop them into 1 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.
Since they are not too sweet - I mixed together a little cinnamon and 1 pkt of stevia and sprinkled on top of the cookies before baking.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until cooked through. store in fridge
My batch made 24 cookies
each cookie has 3g carbs and 0 sugar and 2 fiber

Some tips if you are having trouble

  • First make sure that you are staying under the 15/6. 15 sugars and 6 servings of carbs for the whole day. Thats no more than 5 sugars and 2 servings of carbs per meal.
  • Track all of your sugar/carbs. Add everything from your meal together and count them that way.
  • Try to stop eating whole grain carbs after 3pm.
  • Make sure you drink lots of water.
  • Count everything that you put into your mouth. Even sauces - everything , check labels.
  • Make sure that you don't eat any artificial sugars. Check labels, if it says sugar free - look in the ingredients, look for....sucralose, aspartame, saccharine in the ingredients. Those are BAD!
  • Going #2 is a big problem when a lot of people start the BFC. I have solved that problem with Clear Benefiber in my morning coffee and a scoop of Super Seed w/water in the afternoon. (you can buy the super seed on Amazon.com it is the cheapest).
  • Choose your carbs wisely. Try to pick the carbs that will give you the lowest count of carbs, sugar and calories and the most fiber.

I hope this helps.
