Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
These easy Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies make the perfect little treats for when you want a healthier chocolate chip cookie.
Even though it is well past Christmas, I have been making so many cookie recipes lately. But for some reason, this was the first time that I have used coconut flour instead of regular flour in a cookie recipe. And, dare I say it, these healthy cookies are turning out to be one of if not my favorite recipe using coconut flour.
These Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies are unlike a traditional chocolate chip cookie. They are a lot more soft and chewy, but are such a great option if you want to eat healthier in the New Year.
Next time, I am going to try adding some coconut flakes to the batter to really bring out the coconut flavor. And maybe make a double batch, because they are just so good!
Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients
This coconut flour cookie recipe is just made with 6 simple ingredients. All you need is:
- coconut flour
- brown sugar
- baking soda
- melted butter
- large eggs
- chocolate chips
Equipment
- baking sheet
- parchment paper (or silicone mat)
- medium cookie scoop
- medium or large mixing bowl
- wire rack
Tips
Storage: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-4 days.
Make them paleo. If you wanted paleo chocolate chip cookies, replace the brown sugar with a paleo sugar substitute such as maple syrup or coconut sugar, and make sure you use sugar-free chocolate chips.
What brand of coconut flour to use? I know that the texture may change based on the brand of coconut flour you use. I personally use Bob's Red Mill Coconut Flour, but you can experiment with the coconut flour you have by adding a little coconut flour at a time until it resembles cookie dough.
Use a different gluten-free flour: If you don't like the slight coconut flavor that comes with coconut flour, try using gluten free all purpose flour. You can't replace the coconut flour 1:1, you will need to add a little bit more flour. Unfortunately, you can't make them into almond flour chocolate chip cookies without completely altering the recipe, so I wouldn't recommend replacing it with almond flour.
