A Cookie That Works for Everyone (Yes, Even My Toddler)

Whether you’re managing blood sugar, avoiding added sugars, or simply trying to sneak in a healthier dessert for the family, these cookies deliver. I made them originally for Mother’s Day—my mom is sensitive to sugar alcohols, so I needed something sweet, safe, and satisfying.

Instead of traditional chocolate chips, I added toasted coconut flakes for that nutty crunch. Paired with warm cinnamon and pumpkin spice, it’s like a cross between a classic oatmeal cookie and your favorite fall dessert… without the sugar crash.

💡 Bonus: Each cookie has only 63 calories and 3.6g net carbs, so it easily fits into your daily macros—even if you’re following keto or GLP-1 guidance.
