Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies – gluten free!
I was sent this recipe by reader Katy – thanks! Not sure of the source on this. These use my beloved coconut flour! Very easy to make and just a few ingredients. Don’t you love those type? I cut it in half so I wouldn’t have too many cookies in the house.
I also used mini chocolate chips for more surface area ratio in the cookies, I also changed the amounts of the add ins.
Ingredients:
- 66 grams coconut flour (1/2 cup)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 54 grams mini chips (1/3 cup)
- 28 g (1/4 cup) dried coconut
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the eggs and melted butter with the brown sugar, vanilla, and salt.
Sift the coconut flour into the wet mix (to prevent lumps):
add in the mini chips and coconut.
Stir well to combine. It may seem really liquidy at first, but remember coconut flour is super absorbent.
I let my bowl sit for several minutes and voila – dough!
Use a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons onto the baking sheet. I got 14 out of this mixture, but you can do whatever size you want.
My thumb is there for size purposes, although I could also be giving an A-Okay sign if you like.
Bake at 375 for 14 minutes until the tops are lightly browned.
Nutrition per cookie (with 14 per batch):
132 calories, fat: 6.8 g, carbs: 15.5 g, fiber 3 g, protein 2.5 g
These are very tasty and moist.
Thoughts: You can probably lighten these up with using egg whites. Maybe applesauce instead of butter, but that would give a more cake-like texture. I think I would also try chilling the dough and the rolling it into balls, then flattening the balls before baking. The dough stayed in the exact shape I dropped it into on the cookie sheet.
Let me know if you try these do any changes to the recipe and I can add it here.
Enjoy!
Love the recipe…nice and simple. I will have to go to the Bulk Barn and get some coconut flour. Thanks!

I love how simple this is. A lot of GF recipes are complicated and have too many ingredients to hold my interest.
Thanks for sharing this recipe.I have a friend who is gluten free but also egg free. Even so I can tinker with this recipe and come up with something she could eat. I have come across a few recipes lately that call for coconut flour and it sounds so interesting to bake with.

These look wonderful. I love gluten-free food ideas! I don’t have the chips or sugar in the house but I can see making these on a splurge day somewhere in the future! Yum!!

Thx Lori!!! I will most likely try the subs you mentioned.
I actually made some muffins yesterday with coconut flour & will be posting next week. I changed a recipe from NuNaturals that had soy flour in it. I made my “own thing. Will let you know when I try yours – I have muffins coming out my ears right now! 
They are DELISH too – wish I had not made them cause having trouble not eating them!

Hey! I saw you were on DailyMile, so I checked it out and signed up! I promise I’m not stalking you, it just looks like a lot more fun tracking my workouts than my good ole’ calendar!
I like Daily Mile a lot. I keep track of my biking miles on there.
They are in the oven right now…a few more minutes and I will have results.

Mine were less wet, maybe my eggs are smaller than yours. I rolled them into balls, flattened them and they were done in 10 minutes at 350.
