Everything Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

22 Replies
A few weeks ago Lauren of Empowered Sustenance shared her recipe for Coconut Flour Cookies with us. I really love her cookie recipe!  I adapted her recipe to make these chocolate chips cookies. I used coconut oil instead of butter and added vanilla extract and chocolate chips to the recipe. These cookies are grain free, nut free, dairy free, egg free and refined sugar free! 
 

Everything Free Cookies

(Grain Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free & Nut Free)

 Ingredients 
Method
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
 
Use a food processor or blender to mix coconut flour, coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract and salt together.
 
Add chocolate chips and mix until chips are evenly distributed in cookie dough.

Use a round 1/2 tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop out each cookie. Place cookies on a parchment lined cookie sheet. You will have 10-12 small cookies. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown. Let cookies cool before removing from the cookie sheet. They will crumble if you try to remove them before they are cooled.

Serve warm and enjoy!

    This is so clever!! What a great idea to make these dairy free and add the homemade chocolate chips. They look delicious, and I can’t wait to try this recipe!

  • Brittany

    These are amazing! Just made them for the family and even my dad who isn’t really a fan of anything grain-free gobbled these up and asked me to make more!

  • The Coconut Mama

    Awesome! I’m glad your dad liked them too! :)

    How did you get these to turn out so well! I did everything according to the directions and it was a runny mess :(

    How much easier could a chocolate cookie recipe be? These look fab!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

  • The Coconut Mama

    Your welcome, Ellen! They’re the easiest cookies I’ve ever made :)

    I have to agree with Melanie, I’ve made them twice now and they are a runny mess for me. The edges burn and they spread crepe thin. Should I add more coconut flour? Am I adding too much honey? I do the 1 1/2 tablespoon, maybe next time I’ll just try 1 tablespoon and see if that helps.

  • The Coconut Mama

    Hmmm I’m not sure what your doing to make the batter runny. Maybe you could refrigerate the dough before baking it?

  • Jennifer Yates

    Is this recipe for mini cookies? I doubled the recipe and it made 7 tablespoon size cookies. They are really yummy, thanks!

  • Shara

    the coconut oil was probably at room temp to make it runny

  • The Coconut Mama

    Shara » You’re probably right, Shara!

    Just a couple days ago I was put on a GAPS diet. High protein low carb diet!! I have struggled to find things to eat and of course get through the holidays. Your website has helped me a ton and I wanted to say, “Thank You” One question, if I am only allowed one fruit a day do you think I could skip my fruit and add a cookie or should I wait for a while to add these in…..They looked delicious and I was hoping for a treat to have a Christmas. I am concerned because I was told NO sugar!

  • The Coconut Mama

    Hi Melissa,

    My understanding is that GAPS is not a low carb diet. It’s important to get enough carbs on GAPS because you can really mess up your thyroid if your not careful. I know honey is legal, but I’m not sure what stage you can introduce it on.

    Here are some references that may help you.

    Only 3 tablespoons of flour…is that right?

  • http://thecoconutmama.com/ Tiffany @ The Coconut Mama

    Yep! Coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid.

  • Becca

    Coconut is a nut, and could cause anaphylaxis in people allergic to tree nuts, like my son (who nearly died after eating a bit of coconut back when I mistakenly thought it was a fruit). PLEASE don’t label things nut free that absolutely are NOT, it can cause some well-meaning person somewhere to put someone else in great danger.

  • http://thecoconutmama.com/ Tiffany @ The Coconut Mama

    Coconut is not a nut. It is considered a seed or a fruit. I know several people who can eat coconut who have nut allergies.

    The same thing happened to me. So I took them out of the oven and added some more flour and made the mixture into a giant cookie. I then cooked it for an extra 10 minutes… it was okay… edible… but not exactly an intact cookie. More like a soggy clump.

  • Terri

    The key to these cookies is using cold, solid coconut oil. Even after mixing the dough, place the bowl of dough in the freezer for a few minutes. You need to have a thick, solid dough going in the oven to maintain the round shapes shown in the pictures above.. The cookies are pretty good. We liked the cookies small, as coconut flour can tend to be like eating a spoon of peanut butter – rather thick and clingy in your mouth. We used expeller-pressed coconut oil that doesn’t have a coconut flavor, so the chocolate chips really make the cookies.

  • Summer

    Yummy! I love the simplicity. Thanks, I can’t wait to try these.
