Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, stevia, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Fold in the chocolate chips and sweetened coconut, mixing just until everything is evenly distributed.

Using a rounded tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the dough slightly, as these cookies do not spread much during baking.
