What is Monk Fruit?

These keto magic cookies are sweetened with Lakanto monk fruit sweetener. A sugar substitute that is paleo and keto-friendly. 

But what is monk fruit? Let me tell you all about it.

Monk fruit is a Chinese fruit that grows in the southern part of China. Its native name is Lo Han Guo or 罗汉果. The fruit looks like a monk’s bald head, hence the name monk fruit. 

Monk fruit has long been known in China for its many health benefits. Growing up in China, dried monk fruit was actually used to help with soothing coughs and a sore throat as well as reducing phlegm. The taste is sweet and my mom always made it for the family when we were sick.

Today, monk fruit is considered to be a modern-day superfood since it is sweet yet has zero calories, won’t affect blood sugar levels, and can promote weight loss. Read more about the health benefits here.

Lakanto sweeteners do not raise blood sugar and do not raise plasma or glucose-insulin levels making it the perfect substitute for regular sugar!

Ingredients needed for Keto Magic Cookies 

To make these healthy and delicious keto cookies, all you need are eight easily accessible ingredients:

Keto Magic Cookies Ingredients

  • Unsalted butter or vegan butter for dairy-free option (cold and cubed)
  • Monk Fruit Sweetener (I used Lankanto Brown Sugar replacement. If you want to try, I worked out a discount code for you! Use SHUANG15 to get 15% off when you make purchases on Lakanto’s website!)
  • Unsweetened coconut flakes
  • Chocolate chips 
  • Chopped Cashews, pecans and/or walnuts

How to make Keto Magic Cookies 

Start by chopping the butter into cubes and add all the ingredients to a big mixing bowl.
Then use your hands to work all the ingredients together (the butter will act as a binder).
Now, cover the magic cookie dough with plastic wrap and leave the bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes or in the fridge for 1 hour.
Then scoop the cookie dough, roll it into a ball. Sprinkle extra coconut flakes if desired.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

(Since the cookies are “stuffed” with magic goodies, you might need to form them into a ball by pressing them in your hands so they don’t fall apart).

Lastly, bake the keto magic cookies for 15 minutes. 

The cookies will be VERY melty when they are hot out of the oven. Once they are taken out of the oven, you can gently push the sides in with a spatula to form a rounder cookie

Let the cookies cool for at least 20 minutes before indulging (or they will fall apart).

Enjoy! 

How to store the Keto Magic Cookies

And YES, you can freeze the keto magic cookies! Store the cookies for up to 2 months in the freezer in an air-tight container.

Defrost on the countertop or for a few seconds in the microwave. 

These Keto Magic Cookies are perfect for breakfast, a post-workout snack, or a snack on the go. Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter or vegan butter for dairy free option, cold
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, I used Lankanto Brown Sugar replacement
  • 1 cup coconut flakes
  • 1 cup chocolate chips, *I used chocolate, white chocolate, and butterscotch chips by lilys
  • 3/4 cup cashews , chopped

Instructions 

  • In a bowl, combine cold cubed butter, brown sugar, coconut flakes, chocolate chips and chopped cashews, and mix by hand.
  • Mix together until well incorporated.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest in the freezer for 20 minutes or in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to scoop up the cookie dough. Roll it into 10 balls and press and form each ball into a cookie shape- top with a little more coconut flake if desired!
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool for at least 20 minutes (or they could easily fall apart).

Notes

*Since the cookies are “stuffed” with magic goodies, it may be hard to get them flat like a traditional cookie shape. Press and form with your hands firmly so they stick together.
