Keto Ginger Coconut Cookies Recipe
"I love making this cookie around the holidays – the hint of ginger feels festive. This keto ginger coconut cookie uses stevia in place of sugar. If you’re unfamiliar, stevia is a sweetener with some major advantages over sugar. Stevia has no calories, no artificial ingredients, and, most importantly, no carbohydrates. That’s zero, zilch, nada. This sweetener is also quite intense, so a little goes a long way. It’s said to be anywhere from 100 to 300 times sweeter than sugar. In addition to baking, you might consider using just a bit of stevia in your coffee or tea."
