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.

We love these!!!! This is our go to treat. Not just because they are keto. They are amazing! So easy and soooooo good.
I’m so glad you like them Brock, thanks for the comment!
What kind of dough did you end up with? Tell me a bit more
Perfect recipe. Out of laziness I made a double batch. For example, 1 stick of butter ( 8 tbsp is a whole stick) and my sugar free chocolate chips had 2 cups per bag. I did let them cool and then put them on a rack as suggested. Recipe was super simple, as a guy who normally grills and can barely microwave, these are great. I plan on “borrowing” more ideas from you and passing them off as my own( kidding). keep up the great work and sharing. Thank you!!
These were SO yummy! I was impressed how it called for no almond flour whatsoever making the overall carbs low.(Genius!)
Thank you so much for creating them and sharing.
Very good! I made these last night. A guilt-free tasty snack that didn’t take long to make. I also had all the ingredients in my house so it was a win win!
Thank you for the recipe..I am not a fan of coconut so I replaced with oat meal 😊
Great idea! Thank you for trying it
How does that change the carb count for keto?
Thank you for the recipe..I am not a coconut fan so I replaced it with Oats. I love it 😊

Can you tell me the net carbs on these?
HI Laura, I just updated the recipe maker so nutritional info would show bottom of recipe. Thanks!
Just made these – fantastic. I used shredded coconut instead and took the advice of another commentor about adding a tablespoon of almond flour.. I also only had a small tart pan with 24 individual tarts – perfect size as I got 22 servings. These are really tasty and does not trigger sugar cravings.
Thank you for trying them and leaving a comment Christine!
Is there any reason not to double the recipe and bake it as a cookie bar in a 9×13?
Kileen, you can, I had another reader bake them as a bar(not sure if she doubled recipe) and was happy w results. Let me know how it turns out!
Good stuff! After reading comments I too added 1 tbls of coconut flour to make sure they held together and absorb the oil. Really good!
I made these and they are DELICIOUS!!! The extra oil was absorbed quickly just as advertised. I must’ve used a smaller scoop and got 36 cookies. Only 24 or so would fit on my pan so I put the rest in a mini muffin pan. They all turned out great! Thanks so much for the recipe 🙂
Thank you Jan!
Oh my yumminess!!! Thank you for creating this recipe and sharing with us! They are so good! My only complaint-I can only have 1 to stay within my macros today!!! 🤤
I’m glad you like them Robyn!
These are awesome!!! Thanks!
These are awesome!! Thanks!
Thanks Heather, glad you like them!
Hello! Any thoughts on egg subs? I’m allergic 🙁
Hello Rebecca, you can try a nut butter (creamy)3 tbsp per egg, or 1 tbsp ground flax seed mixed in 3 tbsp water(per egg in recipe) and let stand a minute
I have made this recipe a few times. My daughter begs me for more every time she comes to visit! These are her new favorite cookie.
So happy to hear that Lois, thank you for the nice review!

I wonder if you could use honey as a sweetener and how much you would put in as a sub of swerve. I have never used swerve but I loathe sweeteners that have a weird aftertaste.
Hello Jennifer, if you’re not doing low carb then I don’t see why you can’t use honey. Start with 2 tbsp and adjust to your taste.
Swerve is an awesome sweetener! Absolutely no aftertaste.
Easy to make and delicious. Simply amazing!!
Did you use the Swerve granular or confectioners sugar?
I use confectioners
I used the granular, they turned out perfect, but I will try confectioners next, I don’t see how they could be better
I read through the comments and made a couple small substitutions, and I thought I would share :). Firstly, I used Lakanto monkfruit, and I only used about 1.5 tbsp. Secondly, I added 1 tbsp of coconut flour, per some comment suggestions. Finally, the big one, I didn’t have coconut oil on hand, but I used coconut manna and it worked PERFECTLY. Highly recommend! Small oil pools, and it soaked it right back up upon cooling. Another recipe that my husband who hates non nutritive sweetener desserts enjoyed, and is already requesting to be a part of our Christmas cookies… Read more »
Has anyone tried making these into bat cookies? Just wondering how to adjust the cook time? I’d also expect that it might solve the oil problem I see discussed below..
Love them! These little treats took care of my sweet craving! Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you Nicole!
Hi! Do you know the carb count?
Hi Nicole, the nutritional info is at the bottom
Of the recipe
Is that net carbs?
Yes
Sorry I mean no, there is updated nutritional info at the bottom of the recipe. You get about 25 cookies from the recipe and net carbs come out to 1.9g/cookie
This recipe is probably great but use a baking sheet WITH SIDES.. The oil dripped down off the sheet and ended up pooling at the bottom of my oven and smoking terribly. Ruined the entire batch. I just wasted a ton of $$$ on the ingredients and my oven needs a deep clean now.
I am always appreciative of anyone that puts in the effort to trial and post recipes but I am wondering if this recipe has the wrong quantity of ingredients as most of the coconut oil ends up covering the whole tray, what a waste of an expensive ingredient. Wouldn’t it be better to have the ingredient stay in the items you are cooking than covering the tray? Maybe the addition of some coconut flour to absorb and curb this seepage ? Just seems like a dreadful waste.
Hi Lindy,
Most of the oil gets reabsorbed back into the cookies once they start cooling
mmm, I’m wondering how that’s possible.. mine just seeped all over the tray and stayed there, coconut oil also completely saturated the paper towel I rested them on so all in all I think there was more coconut oil on the parchment paper and paper towel than in the cookies ; )
I suspect, like the comment below from Toscha – coconut flour to absorb the liquid fat so it ends up in your tummy and not in the bin.
Thanks to you anyway Ralu and your efforts.
Yes there is oil if you rest them on paper towels since all ingredients have some amount of fat in them including the nuts and coconut. Try chilling the cookies after scooping but before baking and see if there is less seepage if you’re willing to try them again 😁
These truly are amazing! 😋👍
Thanks Kim!
these are super easy to make and the are outstanding to eat!
Y’all! I have scoured the recipe and I keep missing the nutritional info! Please help!!
Caroline, I’m trying to figure out what happened to the nutritional info. Looks like the blogging platform I use might have changed their layout. In the meantime here is the nutritional info
per cookie if you ended up with 25 cookies
Calories 129
Net carbs 1.9
protein 1.9
Fat 12.5
It’s fixed now 😁
I have made this twice and they are just PERFECT!! I love this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing
Thanks Kristi!
Just seeing how much oil comes out as they cook and thinking maybe the fat count isn’t quite as high as the nutrition is calculated before cooking. Thoughts?
Delish! Problem is that when I make Keto snacks I tend to overeat them an mess up my carbs. It’s so frustrating because I want that sweet treat once in a while but portion control is an issue. I can easily pop 3-4 of these into my mouth at one time because they are small and so good!
The butter melt caught me off guard but they did cool off and stayed intact.
Doreen, yes it’s hard to control yourself I feel you
These look great! I dislike the taste of coconut though, can I substitute something else? Cream cheese?
You can try extra nuts instead of the coconut
These were so good!! What a “life saver” doing KETO. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome😁
I loved these!!! The liquids did spread all over the pan. I added 1/4 cup of coconut flour and they are more solid now. Thank you for sharing this with us!!
You’re welcome!
I’m going to try that. The butter melting was weird. LOL They are really good though.
Absolutely DELICIOUS!
First batch was inedible. Added 3 Tbs almond flour, 2 Tbs more coconut and 1 more Tbsp sugar. That did the trick
Hello, great taste. I am just hesitant as I don’t know the net carb in them. Did anyone plug the ingredients in and figured it out?
Hello Zein,
The nutritional info is at the bottom of the recipe😁
This is by far one of the easiest and best keto treats!! I typically triple and sometimes quad the recipe because so many keto/non-keto friends want them too! I always make them before I travel so that I can enjoy a little sweet treat on the road. Yes, there is oil on the pan when they come out of the oven but I just tip the cookie sheet a bit and let them cool 10-15 minutes before transferring them to the cooling rack! Also, I don’t always add all the sweetener called for, maybe about 3/4 of it and they’re… Read more »
Thank you for the great review Susan! I’m so happy you share them!
THE BEST KETO TREAT…. thank you for this delish recipe. It is probably one of the Keto recipes I’ve ever made.
Thank you Gloria!!!
Yum yum, these are really good. Thank you for sharing this recipie.
Thank you for trying them Randy 🙂
I make a different recipe every day to try out ones that my family will like. Only about one out of six don’t end up in the trash. This is our number one “dessert” recipe for the fifth week running….Thanks for making something that is AWESOME!
That is AWSOME Johny! Thank you for stopping by 🙂
So I just made these cookies. They are pretty good, they satisfied a craving which is a huge plus. I am glad you mentioned that a lot of the oil would be on the cookie sheet after baking, that would have been a bit of a shock. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Thank you for trying the recipe Shairyl!
I wanted to have snacks available for the upcoming weeks and had everything needed to prepare this recipe. They came together quickly and baked beautifully at 14 min. I didn’t change any part of the recipe. I am glad you made the note re the oil after baking….I would have been concerned to see that! After 1/2 hr they were ready to eat. I loved them!
Thank you so much for this recipe….it will remain in my arsenal and become one of my favorites I am sure.
Thank you for the comment Sue. I’m so happy you like the cookies!
I live in northern Scandinavia, even in the summer coconut oil is rock solid most days because of the temperature. Last year we had record heat during the summer (and lots of forest fires which made them ban using an outdoor grill) and it was the first time I ever had soft coconut oil. As we still have patches of snow and ice, I don’t think I can count on any record heat sometime soon.
Does it really ruin the cookies if I melt the coconut oil? Can I replace it with butter in that case?
Hi Emma,
If you melt the coconut butter the batter will be runny and cookies will fall apart. You can soften the coconut oil a bit until you can scoop it and measure. I use my hand to mix all the ingredients together and the warmth from my hand while mixing further softenes the coconut oil and makes it the right consistency. Hope this helps😁
I might try to keep the coconut jar right next to the oven, that might soften it up enough – otherwise there’s no difference between keeping it in the fridge or in a cabinet in terms of solidness. Thanks for replying!
😁
I am on the Keto Diet and I see the nutrition facts. So the fiber cancels out the carbs?
Hi Trish, the nutritional info includes net carbs
Oh shucks
what about 2 whole eggs instead of 4 yolks?
Hi Patti, they might be too runny w egg whites, the yolks help bind
Hi there. I wonder if you could use unsweetened applesauce instead of coconut?
Hi Julie, I would not recommend apple sauce. The coconut adds bulk and holds the cookies together, the apple sauce would make them fall apart
These are so amazing! Decadent dessert that tastes too good to be true. Just made my second batch and this time I added a few chopped pumpkin seeds. The oil spread out as they cook. Baked them on parchment and let them sit like you said and they are perfect every time. So ridiculously good!! Thank you for this great easy recipe!
Great idea with the pumpkin seeds Nicki! I’m so glad you like them😁
