Description

These delightful cookies offer a sweet and satisfying experience, perfect as a midday treat or a guilt-free dessert. Their charm lies in their wonderfully chewy texture, which makes every bite a memorable one. Crafted with creamy peanut butter, a touch of sweetness, shredded coconut, egg, and a hint of lime zest, these cookies are surprisingly simple to create.

The dough comes together quickly, promising freshly baked goodness in minimal time. Once shaped, the cookies are baked until they achieve a beautiful golden hue, a visual cue to their deliciousness. Allowing them to cool slightly allows them to set, enhancing their chewy texture and preventing them from crumbling.

Their appealing flavor profile makes them a hit with everyone, from adults to children. The base of these cookies is a smooth peanut butter, lending a rich and nutty flavor. When choosing your peanut butter, opt for those with minimal ingredients to ensure a pure, unadulterated taste.

Alternatively, you can easily create your own homemade peanut butter for an even fresher flavor. For those seeking a change or needing an alternative, almond butter is a fantastic substitute for peanut butter. The exchange is seamless, maintaining the desired consistency and flavor.

Using the same quantity ensures the recipe remains balanced and delicious. The lime zest adds a refreshing citrus note that cuts through the richness of the peanut butter and coconut, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. The cookies are not overly sweet, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through.

Each bite offers a delightful combination of textures, from the slight crispness of the edges to the soft and chewy center. These cookies are more than just a treat; they're a small indulgence that can be enjoyed without any compromise.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a shallow oven tray with baking paper. Add the peanut butter, erythritol, desiccated coconut, lime zest, and salt to a mixing bowl. Mix well to combine.
    2.
    Crack the egg into the bowl. Beat the egg into the peanut butter mixture. The mixture will start to firm and form a dough.
    3.
    Divide the dough into 10 even-sized portions - roughly a tablespoon each. Roll each portion into a ball. Arrange the dough balls across the lined oven tray. Push each ball down with your palm, flattening into a cookie shape roughly 1/2 an inch thick. Ensure there is a space of at least 1.5 inches between each cookie as they will spread when baking.
    4.
    Transfer the cookies to the oven to bake for 12-15 minutes. The cookies should be lightly golden all over. Set aside to cool completely. The cookies will firm up once cooled. Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
