I have shared these cookies with a few people and they keep asking me if I have blogged the recipe yet, so I am taking a break from homework tonight to get this posted. This is very reminiscent of the no bake cookies my mom use to make for me and I use to make for my kids. i have swapped out the sugar and sugar laden ingredients. I also made them without oatmeal, which is in the original version and instead used pecan meal. Next time i make them I want to try almond meal. I think with almond, chocolate and coconut they would be like almond joys! I hope you enjoy them and as always if you have any thoughts please share them!
1 stick butter
1 cup natural peanut butter (no sugar added)
8 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
1/4 cup Stevia
1 cup Xylitol
1 T vanilla
1 1/4 unsweetened shredded coconut
2 cups pecan meal
melt together butter, peanut butter, and chocolate. Add Stevia, Xylitol and vanilla, blending until smooth. Add coconut and pecan meal, mixing well. More pecan meal can be added to get desired consistency. Drop by spoonfuls onto lined baking sheet ( I use a 1 oz cookie scoop). Place in fridge until set. After this set I bag them a few at a time in snack bags and throw them in the freezer. This made about 6 dozen cookies.
I will add photos of these soon!! In the mean time there is a photo on my facebook!
Enjoy! Sandie
These were very good!
