This recipe came from a friend who found it in a cookbook in her library but has never been able to find it again. They are surprisingly good considering they have evil sucralose in them.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter, unsalted, softened
- 1 cup sucralose (only use 3/4 cup if using sweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup Sucanat (“natural cane sugar” dehydrated)
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded dried coconut
- 1 cup vanilla whey protein powder (use 1 tsp vanilla extract if using unflavored)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 330° F
- In electric mixer, cream the butter until fluffy, then add sucralose and sugar and cream until smooth.
- Add eggs beating each one at a time
- Add vanilla (if using)
- In a second bowl, mix the coconut, protein powder, and baking soda, and salt. Slowly add to butter/sugar mixture in 3-4 doses making sure each addition is completely integrated before adding the next dose.
- Stir in chocolate chips
- Spray cookie sheets with non-stick spray or use a parchment paper (silicone) liner. Drop or scoop cookie dough (approx 2 tablespoon)
- Cook for 12-14 minutes until golden brown.

Notes
- Sucralose is the bulk granulated stuff, not little packets of Splenda. It comes in different concentrations. You should use the 1:1 (same sweetness as regular sugar)
- Refrigerate the dough on the cookie sheet before cooking if it spreads too much. (It seems as though it spreads more when we use sweetened coconut.)
- If they seem to moist or gooey, dry them in a dehydrator, and they will get really crispy.
- Coconut seems to pull water out of the air, so if they get too moist after a few days, put them back in the dehydrator to crisp them up.
