Hi. My name is Aaronica and I’m a self-diagnosed cookie monster. I could literally eat cookies all the time I love them so much. But I’ve recently made some lifestyle changes and sugar-filled cookies no longer fit in. I thought I was destined to a miserable, cookie-free life until I started experimenting in the kitchen and came up with these Keto Almond Joy Cookies.

What We're Talking About...

Jump to Recipe

I also love Almond Joy candy. There’s something about the coconut and chocolate together that just gives me the warm and fuzzies!

The holiday season means sweet treats & if you're living a low-carb or sugar-free life, this can sting but these keto almond joy cookies are sure to excite!

Now let me preface this by saying that I am no baker so I took a HUGE risk in combining these ingredients. But I also did a lot of research on baking easy cookies (easy meaning there’s no refrigeration necessary) that would be easy to combine some delicious ingredients into. And the base cookie dough here only has FOUR ingredients. Yes, only four ingredients.

Keto Almond Joy Cookies

All of these ingredients can be found locally at Sprouts or a Whole Foods but in case these retailers aren’t close to you, I’ve also included links (these are affiliates) so that you can order them and keep them on hand. This recipe only takes 15 minutes in total so these are great when your craving something sweet and don’t want to give in to the sweet world around you–especially during the holiday season!
