Coconut Flour Ricotta Cookies

How to make Italian Coconut Flour Ricotta Cookies, Low Carb, From Spinach Tiger

It might seem that I’m a little late in bringing you cookies, but if you’re eating a low carb diet and still need a sweet treat these Coconut Italian ricotta cookies are perfect for your craving

I love ricotta . I started with this beloved original recipe here, which also has a video.

I wondered if it would be possible to make a grain free version, and at the very last minute (Christmas Day), I made these grain free coconut flour ricotta cookies with a little orange zest.

I was so surprised at how good they were as these cookies were the main dessert hit at Christmas dinner. You could use your own preferred sweetener (sugar) or what I use, Swerve.

They are moist, light, and the orange zest is wonderful (although you could use lemon zest too).

I went back and forth as to whether to glaze or roll in Swerve confectioner’s sugar so I did both. I like the plain confectioner’s sugar the best, as this cookie sort of reminds me of those little wedding cookies everyone loves, but the texture is quite different, more like cake.

In figuring this out, I did my due diligence and made them four different times to make sure I was happy and you would be happy with this recipe.

Variations for the Coconut Flour Ricotta Cookies

I also discovered you can play around a little with the basic recipe.

Add unsweetened coconut. That added texture is really fun!  I may even come back and do a whole new recipe can call it coconut balls, so no one misses out.

Add citrus to either batter or the glaze: Lime, Orange, Lemon, by adding zest to the sugar and using fingertips to release the citrus oils.

Add almond extract: Just a drop or two will give you that wedding cake taste.

Glaze or Confectioner’s Sugar: This will depend on your mood or occasion. The pink would be so cute for a baby shower.

    is there something wrong with the measurements in this recipe? One cup of coconut flour; the dough was crumble wouldn’t stick together.

    Angela, this is my FAVORITE keto cookie! So versatile and yummy. Where I live ricotta cookies are like soft sugar cookies frosted with cream cheese frosting. This recipe (w/o orange and flattened before baking) gets really close and keeps me out of the bakery. My latest version is balls of dough infused with lemon zest baked, frozen and then dipped 3x in a keto white chocolate flavored with lemon oil and powdered lemon juice. They really remind us of the birthday pops in a popular coffee shop. Sooo good. Thank you for this awesome recipe, I’d give you more stars if I could!

      Thank you so much. This kind of comment keeps me in the kitchen. You should give my pancakes and dutch baby a try. But I have a coconut cake coming that is amazing (according to my mom who does NOT eat keto). LOL. Where do you get the keto white chocolate?

        Angela,

        I used Maya’s https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/sugar-free-white-chocolate-bars-low-carb-gluten-free/ recipe. I didn’t have the lecithin so I used 1/4t. xantham gum as the binder. I don’t care for powdered erythritol so I put all powder ingredients, a little at a time, in a mortar and ground them all into dust. There was still a bit of ‘grit’ in the chocolate, but honestly, the lemon version was crazy good and the lemon cookie filling- just heavenly.

    Hello! I am making these right now! I had the idea to make ricotta cookies today to add to the list of sweets to make my husband to help him stick with the keto diet that he started a week ago. Ironically, it appears you just posted this yesterday! So thank you! I do have a question before I proceed. You say 3/4 cup Swerve confectioner’s sugar, divided. How much do I actually use in the batter?

    Reply
    • Angela Roberts says

      January 10, 2018 at 6:27 pm

      . I would say save a little for the rolling. (maybe a couple tablespoons).
      Also, if you can taste your batter first to see if it’s sweet enough for you. I usually will microwave a tablespoon which gives me a good idea.
      Everyone’s preferred level of sweetness is different. I’ll put this in the notes of the recipe.
      Good luck!

        It still says 3/4 cup Swerve confectioners sugar, divided. No notes on what to do with the duvided parts or in what measurements to divide . I did my own thing with erythritol, but i’m sure others will question that. Cookies are great, btw!

          I used the whole 3/4 cup confectioners sugar in the batter, but I also used a whole cup of ricotta (8 oz). The cookies are great but they’re very crumbly and don’t quite hold together. I ended up cooking them a few more minutes b/c they didn’t seem done after 10. And I smooshed them down then, b/c they seemed so un-done.
          I also glazed with a cup of confectioners sugar and 2 Tbsp lemon juice — delicious!

Happy Weekend Friends. I feel the need to bring you a smattering of cheer and goodwill. Sugar free, grain free, gluten free, with keto friendly chocolate whoopie pies. #linkinprofile  https://spinachtiger.com/grain-free-chocolate-whoopie-pies/ 

I hope you’re having the best Saturday you can have. I did a lot of early baking and now it’s me and Peaches watching the PBS Masterpiece Theater. I love my subscription to Acorn and Britbox, PBS. Anyone else an Acorn fan? I love Agatha Raisin, Deadwater fell, Doc Martin, Delicious, Nothing Trivial, 800 Words, The Heart Guy, Murdock Mysteries, A Place to Call Home, Poirot, Mount Pleasant, Father Brown. 
On Brit Box, the funniest show (and uplifting) I’ve ever seen is Mrs. Brown’s Boys. HIGHLY recommend that but beware of some swear words. (It’s Irish)

Taco Tuesday, even if you’re on keto! At first glance you would think you can’t eat this on a low carb diet. Think again. Fish fried with pork panko, sitting in my grain free tortillas (which you can buy in my bakery by the way). You can use a food processor to transform pork rinds into pork panko. I found the pork panko at costco (affordable, finally and they are life changing for a grain free diet).

Good Morning Saturday.  Dutch baby is keto friendly and recipe is on the blog. Ingredients below. We eat this with choc zero maple syrup which is sugar free and delicious. We’re going to have a nice breakfast before we face our basement. Everything has to be moved to the garage  before Thursday when electricity is rewired.

We cannot control the crazy in our wold right now, but we can control what we eat. This spicy salmon is keto friendly with ground pork rinds giving crunch. Not only seriously delicious, but Omega 3 good for you. 
I choose healthy but I also choose pleasurable food. This is placed atop cauliflower rice and some nice white wine wouldn’t hurt either.  The spicy comes from Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce made with fermented  Calabrian chili peppers. It’s my new go to. EASY Recipe coming soon.

My most popular blog post is this New York Strip Steak, 185,000 times this year! And, I get the nicest comments about my method. It’s a pan sear and then to oven recipe, but the tips are what bring success. It’s not a reverse sear, which I’ve done with some other steaks, because I like that method with really thick steak. Strip steaks tend to be thinner and the sear and roast method keeps my steak medium rare. Salt and Pepper are my only seasonings…Maybe a bit of butter and thyme. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/new-york-strip-steak-recipe/

Tips for the Perfect Steak

* Salt the steak 24 hours in advance. It goes into the meat overnight, adds moisture and enhances flavor
* Don’t cover steaks in the fridge. The outside of the steak should be dry if you want to sear them. Put them on a rack so both sides dry.
* Make sure the steak is dry, before searing. When ready to cook, I used to think my steak needed to come down to room temperature, but I now find that I get a better sear  with a cold steak, as long as the steak is dry. It’s the water that comes out of the steak that prevents that nice sear, also known as the mallaird effect.
* Start with a very hot  cast iron pan.
* Do not add oil until pan is hot.
* Use a round grill press, if you can, but no worries if you don’t have one.

Happy New Year! Fingers crossed🤞🏼. Prayers said. 🙏🏻Celebrating today with carnitas and a black eyed peas dip. 👩🏻‍🍳Lucky black eyed peans mean prosperous. Eating pork is also something about pigs rooting forward. Growing up we ate pork and sauerkraut every New Years. 🥳Today it’s a little bit more modern. The black eyed peas is coupled with black beans, pickled red onion from @thekitchn, pickled jalapeño, cilantro, various bell pepper, lime juice avocado and plenty of salt. You must have the salt to awaken and balance the vinegar. Since last week’s Nashville bombing, my appetite was meh. Today is a new year and I’ve invited company and look forward to all the good every year has, no matter what. Helmet of salvation beats this earth stuff any day! (Recipe will come to the blog this week). SpinachTiger dot com reached 12 years!

Cheeseball and Peaches  have so enjoyed the lockdown this year! This is a rare moment when they are actually cuddling together. They cuddle people more. They have the large deck outside to roam. They race around chasing each other in the middle of the night and for them life is wonderful. Reflecting on the past year, I’m truly an optimist, even in 2020.  Many good things happened, shadowed by Covid fallout some because of Covid. The biggest down for me personally was the lack of adventure, connection, parties, dining out, inviting people over, talking to my customers face to face. These are not shallow things. They are the things that boost the immune system and prolong life. Bread and water shared with people trumps a huge feast eaten alone. So my happiest times this year have been with people I love and the getaway at my friend’s farm. Getting OUTSIDE without a mask, without fear has meant everything. The joy of the Lord is my strength and I pray for a lot of JOY for 2021, for as a believer, it’s never pitch dark.

How warped time is now. Three days ago, bombing in Nashville. FBI says solved. Life goes on. Power restored. Went to my usual Monday morning workout. HOWEVER, my brain and heart can’t catch up this fast. Taking a day to chill, process, and look at the big fat year ahead. Bakery owner, full-time food blogger. Thinking about what new doors to open, what doors I should shut. I’ll leave you with this. 2020 started off amazing! I scheduled my first bakery classes and was so gleeful to be able to make one of my dreams come true. In March they all had to be cancelled. The bakery grew during the lockdown! The blog took a major hit in ad dollars due to pandemic. The blog grew substantially in 4th quarter. The blog broke all $ records this month. The bakery closed for three weeks substantial exposure to Covid (taking care of those infected) I never got it! 34 year old sister in law (ex) died suddenly of pancreatic cancer six weeks after diagnosis in July. Her father died five months later. My step mother’s duties increased a bit due to this. She inherited $10,000 from a separate source. So like everyone else, its been up and down and up and down and I didn’t even mention politics, riots, etc. WOW! However, unlike most people, I’m going to call this the best year of my life and marriage. WHY? I started a prayer call in March, praying 4 to 5 days weekly. It has changed my life, my husband’s life and those who come to pray. It has meant EVERYTHING!  By the way this is a cake I never wrote about. Blackberry w lemon mascarpone. What is the ONE GREAT THING of 2020 you experienced?

Can food make you feel better? Sometimes. But it’s been a rough two days. Remember when I said on Christmas Eve, “may tomorrow be as nice as this day: That didn’t age well. What a time! Great little Christmas morning and then I looked at my phone. A BOMB exploded in downtown Nashville. 😡😢Even though I live miles away, our cell service is still not working. We lost internet and TV as did thousands in five states.  Doug ran to Comcast the next morning to get us a temporary account. The scary thing aside from a BOMB, is how vulnerable we are with no cell service or internet (AT & T) as it was all housed in one building with no back up plan. Did you know our infrastructure is this vulnerable? Many of us still can’t call 911 if we needed to. 🙁We are grateful no residents were harmed from the bomb. We still don’t know the “who” in the remains. We don’t know what to believe. 🤷🏻‍♀️I highly recommend watching the Netflix show, Manhunt Deadly Games (about Richard Jewell (falsely accused) and Eric Rudolph (the actual Centennial Park Bomber). Great insight into serial bombers, lone wolfs, and the FBI. 🙏🏻 for not just Nashville but for America.

Merry Christmas. 🎄In spite of all the bad that came with 2020, today was a good day. I found out my wonderful step mother unexpectedly inherited a nice sum of money which she needs badly and that made my heart sing. ❤️ I’m so thrilled when other people get good things they deserve. I was also thrilled with my two sour dough creations we had tonight👩🏻‍🍳. I am still baking from  Emilie Raffa’s Sourdough Made Simple book, and had to try the spinach dip stuffed braided loaf and the camembert wreath. 😋😋Both were HUGE hits, easy directions to follow and came out perfectly.  We had charcuterie, crab cakes, arugula salad and these breads. I think I may not eat again until next year. By the way those cute keto sugar cookies a few posts back were frozen and then brought out for today. Everyone loved them. I think they are even better after being frozen. 
May tomorrow be as nice as today! We all need a good day.

Make a true Christmas flavored slab pie with cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, nutmeg, orange, and cranberries. I was inspired to use these flavors watching the Great British Baking Show. I hope one day I get to England. It was supposed to be this year and we all know how that didn’t happen. Prayers and cheer to everyone here. May 2021 get us back to what we used to know. People, travel, breaking bread or eating slab pie together.

One in a life time Christmas Star. I was lucky enough to get out in the country to see it most clearly. #nofilter

Chocolate w peppermint buttercream! A keto bakery fave. My Christmas shopping is done! How about you! (Although it’s a light year. ) Swerve sent me a present and included were these sugar free sprinkles. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/keto-peppermint-frosting-with-keto-chocolate-cupcakes/
