Sweet, crunchy and portable, these keto no bake cookies are the perfect low carb treat. A quick and easy low carb cookie recipe that is sure to be spouse and kid approved. It doesn't get much easier than three steps: just mix, chill, and eat.
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.

Made ‘em-love ‘em! So easy and SO good. I added some chopped pecans, chia seeds and I used Monk Fruit instead of Eriythritol. Hard not to eat them all in one swoop!
Angie Shelton says
Love love love this recipe! I make them into little round balls and store them in the freezer. Today’s batch I added ground walnuts.

The no bake cookies are quite good. I made them exactly as directed. Very chocolatey and just sweet enough. I guess the only thing I need to get used to is a cold cookie. At room temp they are a little too soft. But they are definitely a good quick fix for a chocolate craving!:-)

This is my new favorite!
Andrea says

I haven't made these yet, but as soon as I finish this note, I just might have to! I'm wondering if microwaving the PB, cream cheese, etc, wouldn't make it easier to mix the ingredients. I think that that is how I'll do it--at least, for the first time. I love the idea of adding some nuts or hemp or other wonderful things. Yup, gotta make 'em right now! Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes!
Jen says
These are soooo yummy! Thank you for the recipe. ????

These no-bake cookies are delicious, and super easy to make. When I make a batch, I like keeping some in my lunch just in case there is no time for a break.at work. Once I was out of almond butter and creamy peanut butter, so I just subbed a 1/2 cup of crunchy natural peanut butter, and used shredded unsweetened coconut. Instead of cocoa powder, I added peanut butter powder and several drops of caramel stevia. Amazing!
