🥥🍫 0-Point Almond Joy Cookies
Ingredients (makes ~12 cookies)
-
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
-
1/4 cup natural almond butter (or peanut butter)
-
2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, can be 0-point if using sugar-free)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Mix ingredients
-
In a bowl, combine shredded coconut, almond butter, honey, vanilla, and salt.
-
Stir until a sticky dough forms.
-
Fold in chocolate chips if using.
-
-
Shape cookies
-
Scoop about 1–2 tablespoons per cookie and form small rounds on the baking sheet.
-
Flatten slightly with a fork or fingers.
-
-
Bake
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
-
-
Cool & serve
-
Let cookies cool for 5–10 minutes before serving—they firm up as they cool.
-
🌟 Tips
-
For extra flavor, toast the coconut lightly before mixing.
-
Use sugar-free chocolate chips to keep cookies lower points.
-
Store in an airtight container; they stay soft for 3–4 days.
Variations
-
Almond Joy style: Press a whole almond into the center before baking.
-
Chocolate drizzle: Melt a small amount of chocolate and drizzle over cooled cookies.
-
Nut-free: Substitute sunflower seed butter for almond butter.
I can also give a no-bake version that’s even faster and still counts as 0 points if you want.
