🥩 Carnivore Cookies (Zero-Carb)
🍳 Ingredients:
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella for milder flavor)
-
2 tbsp beef tallow or butter
-
1 large egg
-
2 tbsp pork rinds (crushed into powder) – acts as flour
-
1–2 tbsp collagen powder (optional, for structure)
-
Pinch of salt (if your cheese isn’t salty enough)
-
Optional: dash of vanilla extract (only if you’re okay with trace carbs)
🧑🍳 Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a bowl, melt the cheese and tallow/butter together until fully combined (microwave ~30–45 seconds or stovetop).
-
Stir in the egg until smooth.
-
Add pork rind powder and optional collagen. Mix into a sticky dough.
-
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Flatten slightly with a spoon or fingers (wet your hands if sticky).
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden and crispy around edges.
-
Cool completely to firm up (they get crisper as they cool).
🍪 Texture & Taste:
These cookies are savory, chewy, and slightly crispy — think of them as a cheese crisp meets soft snack. Add a bit more pork rind powder for crunchier results, or more fat for softness.
🔁 Variations:
-
Add bacon bits for extra flavor.
-
Use grated parmesan for a crispier, saltier version.
-
Want sweet (still zero-carb)? Use cinnamon + egg yolk + butter + stevia or monk fruit (if not strictly carnivore).
Want a sweet zero-carb carnivore version too (without any plant-based sweeteners)? I can give you a version using egg yolk, butter, and browned cheese that tastes like a custard cookie. Let me know!
