As a child, I remember a neighbor always making haystack cookies and it was always such a treat. Sometimes she made them with oatmeal and other times she made them with crunchy chow mein noodles. The chocolate butterscotch chow mein version was always my favorite, and since I only had them on special occasions, it always felt like an extra special treat. I can almost taste them right now.
How to Make Keto No Bake Cookies
With this low carb haystack no bake cookie recipe, I used unsweetened desiccated coconut to give it that familiar no bake cookie crunchy texture. If you can't find unsweetened dessicated coconut, you can buy unsweetened coconut flakes and pulse them in a high powered blender or a food processor to get the desired size.
'Tis the season for keto cookies
With fall rapidly approaching, people are already asking for low carb Christmas cookie recipes. Well, in my book, any low carb cookie recipe made around Christmas is a Christmas cookie. 🙂 That being said, here are a few of my favorite keto cookie recipes. Keto Flourless Chewy Double Chocolate Chip Cookies and Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies.
Another great thing about the low carb no bake cookies is that they don't use any egg like a traditional recipe. That makes them a great dessert option for those with egg allergies or intolerance.

Great recipe! Love the cookies!! Do you know how many calories per 1 inch serving?
Tracy says
These are delicious!! Like another reader I realized I had all the ingredients except almond butter . I got right up and made them! Thank you????
Jamie says
These were delicious and very easy to make. My 2 year old Grandson helped me make them and when they came out the freezer, he said "cold", he loved them. I will make these again.
Just want to ask one thing, the serving size is 1 cookie?
Jackie says
These were quick, easy and delish! Thank you!
Sherry says
I LOVE, LOVE these cookies. They have to be my favorite (low carb or not) hands down. I had all the ingredients and they were quick to make and I didn't have to wait along time to try them. Thank you for this recipe. These cookies will be made A LOT!
Linda says
What could you substitute for the erythritol?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
You can use any low carb sweetener you prefer.
Leann says
I used confectioners munkfruit and they turned out amazing!
Krysta says
The only sweetener I use is stevia. The trick is to find a really good brand of liquid stevia, and then you’re set. Think Heath food store, not grocery store. Trivia and “stevia sweet” both taste bitter to me. I use a brand called “better stevia” and it really is better for some reason. Probably I’d use about 20-25 drops of stevia for a recipe like this!
Max says
What do you do when you're baking? I thought replacing a granulated sweetener with stevia would ruin the consistency and it wouldn't bake properly? And I haven't been able to find granulated stevia that isn't cut with erythritol.
Jennifer says
I'm one of the few weirdo's that doesn't like the taste of coconut and chocolate together. Do you think almond or pecan pieces would be an ok substitute?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I haven't tried it with any other combination. However, the coconut flakes are what gives it its bulk. If you try it with nuts instead, be sure to report back about how it worked out.
Dana says
I don't like coconut, so I crush almonds and use those. We love them!
Carla says
I am not a fan of coconut so I substituted with almond slivers....so good!
Tracy says
I can not have cream cheese so I put 2.5 tbsp pb and the rest in almond butter...they are amazing..wondering what I could substitute the cream cheese in the future...also added pecan pieces
Hara says
I substituted ripe banana and 1 tbls of chia seeds. Delicious!
Heather says
You can get vegan cream cheese at the health food store! It substitutes really wel. It is made from tofu usually,
Sara says
Rarely do I read a recipe, get up and make it...but I did for these scrumptious cookies. In the freezer now, waiting 6 more minutes (batter was delicious)
Stephanie says
Totally agree! I may use unsalted butter next time to up the natural sweet factor but batter was deelish!!
Amy says
These are delicious! Thank you for sharing such a tasty recipe.
sue says
these are awesome
Ann says
I’m not a big coconut fan—it’s okay but...would hemp hearts work here or do they need to be baked?
Ann says
I halved the batter and put 3/8 cup coconut in one half and 3/8 cup hemp hearts in the other. Delicious!
Bryant Likes says
These are really good! 🙂
I added some chocolate chips. Hoping to take these on longer bike rides, hopefully they don't melt too quickly.
Thanks!
