This is a sugar free take on Momofuko Milk Bar’s Compost Cookies recipe.
Some days, my husband tests my low carb diet resolve.
Yesterday was just such a day. He visited Brooklyn and brought home some Momofuku Milk Bar Compost Cookies. But I'm a diabetic, so I really shouldn't eat them. That monster.
The video above shows how Momofuko makes their magical compost cookies recipe.
I find this video absolutely mesmerizing. I love all the industrial sized ingredients that go into these cookies. They are chocked full of chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, pretzels, graham crackers, oatmeal, potato chips and even coffee grounds. Hence the name compost cookie.
The sugar free compost cookies that we’re going to make today are a little less decadent, but still pretty dang decadent.
We’re going to make a sugar-free chocolate chip cookie base and then add in pecans, coconut flakes and the secret compost cookie ingredient: coffee grounds. It might sound a little weird but tastes amazing. (Just don’t feed these caffeine fueled compost cookies to your kids by accident. It would not be pretty.)
I’ll admit, I couldn’t resist the Momofuku Milk Bar Compost Cookie that my husband brought home.
But I’ve decided to think of it as cookie research! Yea, that’s the ticket. I sacrificed my low carb diet so that you could enjoy this sugar free compost cookies recipe. And not to toot my own horn, but they turned out really well. These are some of the tastiest sugar free cookies I’ve made yet, and they’ve only got 2g net carbs each. But enough crowing, now it’s time for me to watch the Momofuko video just one more time.
It’s like she’s making cookies for giants!

Never heard of compost cookie before. Sounds delish though.
