These cookies are SUPER EASY to make. A blend of nuts, coconut, and chocolate chips, these are sure to please. These mounds of joy are low carb, gluten-free, and keto friendly. I found this recipe on https://www.delish.com/
These cookies come out chewy and delicious. Very hardy as well, I love mine with a cup of coffee or tea
Magic Keto Cookies
Servings 25 cookies
Calories 129kcal
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut oil Solid(do not melt)
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 3 Tbsp Sweetener I used Swerve
- 1 cup sugar free chocolate chips I used Lily's
- 1 cup coconut flakes Unsweetened
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
- 1/2 cup walnuts chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 egg yolks
- sea salt flakes for sprinkling on top (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a large bowl stir coconut oil, butter, sweetener, vanilla extract,and egg yolks. Mix in chocolate chips, coconut, and nuts.
- I used a cookie scoop and got 25 cookies, or you can use a spoon to drop even amounts of dough onto baking sheet. Sprinkle with the sea salt if desired
- Bake 12-14 minutes until light golden brown
Notes
***Please note there will be some oil coming out of these as they bake because there is no flour to absorb it. Let them cool on the cookies sheet for about 10-15 mins then transfer to cooling rack with paper towel underneath.

These are awesome. Easy to make and so good. Of course I did not have unsweetened chocolate chips or unsweetened coconut so my cookies had the sugar in them. I only made half a batch. But they are so yummy. A definite on our dessert plan. Next time I want to try them without the sugary items. Thank you for a wonderful dessert.
Thank you for trying them Linda😁
These are our weekly treat. Best keto treat I’ve found. Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome Michelle! Thanks for the comment ❤️
Best keto dessert yet!!
Best keto dessert yet!!!
DELICIOUS!Needed a sweet tonight and these hit the spot. So easy and like a macaroon with chocolate and nuts. Really good. I will freeze them so that I don’t eat too many.
Lol Marisa great idea, I end up eating too many whenever I make them!
Can you omit the coconut all together? Or substitute something else?
Hi Lauren, The cookies might fall apart if you don’t use the coconut. I haven’t tried subing it with a different ingredient.

can you use shredded coconut intead of flaked ? I have a huge bag to use up?
Hi Sarah, yes you can use shredded coconut
These cookies are amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for trying them Shenry!😀
Loved these
These are AMAZING!!! The reviews are correct in that they cook out a lot of oil but do not fear! Once I moved them to new parchment paper on the cooling rack, they were perfect. Think Girl Scout Samoas but tastier and minus the guilt. Thank you for this heavenly recipe!
These are so delicious! I didnt have walnuts, so I only used pecans. These are a keeper for sure! Thank you!!
These are seriously FANTASTIC!! THANK YOU!!
I don’t often write any reply on recipes I try but these are absolutely a wonderful treat!!
Thank you Pattie! I really appreciate your comment😁
These were awesome, thank you for sharing!! Quick question for my Carb Manager, is 1.9 the net carbs, having already subtracted the fiber?
Hi Kelly, I’m so glad you like them. Yes, the carbs are net carbs
Can i make the dough and refrigerate for about 3 days or so before i bake them? I want to take these camping with us this weekend.
Hi Katie, I don’t see why you couldn’t make the batter ahead of time. It might Harden in the fridge and would be harder to scoop, so maybe take the batter out about 30 mins before baking.
Love these. I’m lazy and made them into a bar cookie. Perfect!!! My new favorite cookie.
Great idea!
I made these with stevia in the raw.. Bad aftertaste at first out of oven then put them in frig and seemed ok..made them a 2nd time.. With swerve brown sweetener and added sunflower seeds pure vanilla… Way yummier lol…and I ate 4 cookies at work.. Still lost 1.8 pounds..
Stevia is alot sweeter than erythritol or xylitol so you wouldnt be able to use them in same measurement. Glad they came out second time😁
My bf and I love these cookies!! They are easy to make and delicious!!
Okay so these are amazing! I was literally eating the cookie batter! Thank you so much! I was desperately wanting something sweet and this totally did the trick!
Haha Amber! So glad you enjoyed them😁
O. M. G. Thank you whollycupcake, the Lord and baby Jesus for these gems. 🤩😂 Soooooo good
Lol Rhonda!!!
LOVE these….. only thing I would do differently is double the amount of coconut flakes to make them a bit more dense. Otherwise almost perfect as recipe follows.
This recipe is awesome. We have been doing low carb / keto since Jan. 1. We all wanted something sweet but without breaking the diet. This was the MAGIC recipe. I have made this once a week for a month now. Thank you, Thank you!!!
You’re welcome Shelly! Thank you for trying it😁
Yum can’t wait to try these, thanks!
😁
Cookies are delicious
So glad you liked them Lizet😁
These are amazing! Love the subtly sweet flavor. My two cents: ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SKIP THE SEA SALT ON TOP! It takes these to a new level! So delicious. Oh, and don’t fret about the amount of oil that comes out; walk away for 15 minutes (if you can!) and come back. All will be yummy in your world!
Thank you Jeannie, the world is. a little better after eating these 😉
These are so good. Exactly what I needed for the chocolate and sweet craving. Also, very easy to make. Even my son liked them.
So glad you both liked them!!!
These were so good! They remind me so much of a cookie my mom is famous for in our family. And it was the tastiest, simplest keto dessert I’ve tried yet. Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you Miranda❤️
I made these tonight and they are delicious. Perfect directions. Thank you!!
Thank you for trying them!😁
Do we use egg yolks or the whole egg?
Only yolks
These were Awesome! My husband enjoyed them greatly👍😎
😁
OMG THANK YOU!!!! These are amazing and so easy to whip up!
You’re welcome Stephanie! I’m so happy you like them
My co-worker brought these in today and the are delicious. I will be making them myself soon
Yey for co-workers!!!! So glad you liked them and will make them soon :0)
Can You use different nuts
Yes, I made them one time with hazelnuts and they came out good
I have made a lot of recipes and have not been impressed by the taste. But these are so delicious!! They are something that I will continue to make to have them on hand for that sweet craving. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.
I’m so happy you like them Kayla! Thank you for stopping by
Thank you thank you thank you for this recipe!!! These are absolutely delicious!! I’m so happy to have found an actually delicious Keto safe dessert!!! There was a lot of oil that was in the pan when I took them out of the oven, but like others have said, just let them cool and they’re perfect!!
Thank you Alex! I’m so happy you like them ❤️
Made these this morning….. was a bit concerned with the amount of fat that came out when taking them out of the oven but after reading a few other post telling me to just let them cool, I must say they came out Perfect. !! I can not believe how great these cookies are. So easy to make and sooooooo delicious. I will definitely make these again.
Thank you for the comment Steve, Im glad you walked away from the cookies for a bit 🙂
Have these in the oven. The ‘batter’ tasted good, but was runny with chunks of nuts & coconut. Didn’t melt the butter or coconut oil beforehand, but they ran all over the pan when scooping them out. Anyone else have an issue with this?
Hi Jules, the batter should be the consistency of chunky cookie batter, not runny at all. Did you add just the egg yolks in and not the whole egg?
Do you use just yolks or the whole egg?
Mine to! These just melted flat, ALL over the paper. Don’t know what happened, I followed the recipe to a T!
I jousted started the keto diet on the 1st. This is my first keto dessert. I love them! It satisfied my sweet tooth.
I’m so glad you like the Christy! Thank you for stopping by 🙂
These are amazing! Perfect keto Christmas cookie! Yes they look like a runny mess when you take them out of oven but walk away! When you come back in 15 minutes the oily mess will be gone and you’ll have a perfect and irresistible cookie!!! Thank you!
Thank you Jenn! Im so glad you like them😁
Can I use liquid stevia in place of Swerve?
Hi Wendy, you can start with 1/2 tsp liquid stevia and adjust from there, liquid stevia is much sweeter than swerve
These came out great and taste amazing – just like the real thing!
Hi Jacki, thank you so much for trying the recipe, and Im so glad you like them❤️

These are addictive! 11 minutes at 350 was perfect, 12 was a too much for my coconut. I got 26 cookies. Half made with Maldon salt crystals. I highly say YES to the tiny added amount of salt – divine.
Sandi I’m so happy you liked them, I agree they are addictive!

Do you happen to know if these freeze well? I’m looking for a good keto cookie for an exchange 🙂
Hi Heather, I never had to chance to freeze mine because they didn’t last long enough, please let me know if they do if you decide to make them 😁
I don’t know what the heck I did wrong, but these turned into a liquidy mess in my over.. thoughts/suggestions?
Hi Ivy, sorry to hear that! Some oil will come out of them when they bake but will be ok ince cooled, did you add the egg yolks?
Yes 4 yoke.. they definitely were not ok even after cool lol. They basically were just a pool of chocolate… did you measure the coconut oil before melted or after melted? I would love to give these another shot I just have no idea what went wrong
You dont melt the coconut oil, you use it solid, I think thats why yours melted. Scoop the solid coconut oil into measuring cup and add to the ingredients, the dough should be thick like a regular cookie dough
I used the coconut oil SOLID, right from the jar & 4 yolks as stated. Mine were a pool of melted mess. But Good with a spoon. i’d like to try them again to.. But what do you suggest?
Also make sure you let them cool completely before handling them
YES! I followed the recipe EXACTLY.. Mine just melted all over the parchment paper. They ARE good, but I’m eating them with a spoon.
Mickey, try rolling them into a ball after you scoop them, see if that helps a bit w the falling apart
Just made these, was a little worried about the oil coming from the cookies if they stayed together. They came out find and tasted great if you are looking for a sweeter cookies add one more Tbsp of swerve.
Thanks for the comment Linda, yes some oil will seep out because there isn’t any flour to absorb it. Im glad you enjoyed the flavor otherwise😁
Can one add almond flour – just enough to absorb the oil?
That might make the dough too dry, I think there will be some oil no matter what since it has coconut oil in the recipe and it melts in the oven and seeps out. Once they cool the coconut oil kinda gets reabsorbed into the cookies
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
I had mine in a container on the counter for over a week and they were still good!
This looks so good! What kind of texture do they have? Soft, crunchy?
Thanks Suzanne, they are chewey
Where can i find the Lily chips? Cant wait to make these!
Hi Cindi, I buy mine at Sprouts or Whole Foods. You can probably find them at other health food stores, if not Amazon sells it❤️
Cindi, just to share that if you can’t find Lily’s chocolate chips I’ve switched to Hershey’s sugar free chocolate chips. They are a regular size chocolate chip, taste great and are $3.25 per bag at Walmart.
Haven’t made these cookies yet but they are definitely on my list for this week.
Thanks for sharing Cindy! I didnt know Hershey makes sugar free choc chips, Ill def be on the lookout for them
I buy Hershey’s sugar free chocolate chips at Walmart in North Reading $2.38 a bag. Cookie recipe sounds so good and since I have all the ingredients I will make today, but maybe half a batch cause I love sweets too much.
It is hard to eat just one…or three

Hi Vanessa, the app you’re using might be counting sugar alcohols as carbs like many apps do. I use carb manager and it’s 3 net carbs.
The recipe says 24 servings and your breakdown says based on 18. Perhaps that is part of the difference? Plus, different calculators can have different values for the same item.
Yes, plus different brands have different values
