I love cookies.
Like seriously, they are so mouthwateringly addicting that I could never just give them up.
But, cookies and paleo just don’t really mix all that well.
And regular cookies make me feel far too terribly (and guilty!) to eat them as often as I want to.
Well, that was until these little buggers.
Since going paleo, I have semi-avoided coconut flour. I always seem to have a bag in my cabinet, but that’s because I tend to turn to any other type of flour first. Coconut flour is like a sponge, soaking every bit of moisture up, so you use much less than you would another type of flour.
It also has a coconut taste (obviously!) so I’m not a fan of adding it to dishes meant to be savory.
These cookies may be a lot of things, but savory they are not!
Without further delay, I present to you the best coconut flour, paleo, chocolate chip cookie to come out of your very own oven!
1/3 c. dairy-free chocolate chips (I used these
)
As always, preheat your oven first. This time to 350F. So, you want to start by adding all your dry ingredients together. My coconut sugar tends to want to stick together, so I like to break up the clumps first. Once everything is mixed together, add in your eggs, coconut oil (be careful, if it’s too hot, it will begin to cook your eggs and you do NOT want that), vanilla, and chocolate chips.
Mix until everything starts to stick together, and then gently work in your hands so the dough holds. The dough that forms won’t be like regular cookie dough. It’s a little thinner, so don’t be alarmed!
Your cookies aren’t going to spread much, if at all, so go ahead and make them the size and shape you want them to be. Bake on a greased cookie sheet for about 12 minutes.
After they come out of the oven, let them sit for about 10 minutes, and then enjoy one of the best cookies you’ll ever bite into!
Until next time,
Savannah

These sound amazing! Thanks for linking up to #justanotherlinky xx
These look sooo yummy! These would be great for a family member who's lactose sensitive. I can't wait to try these out. How did you manage to get this idea?? I can never do recipes like this just off-hand without set instructions! Well done! #KCACOLS
Definitely give it a try and let me know how they turn out! <3
I LOVE baking. I've found that my interest in it has definitely grown over the past year or so as we switched to paleo. It's such a creative outlet for me. Thanks for your lovely comment <3
Of course!!
I may or may not have eaten the entire batch in one afternoon…
Thanks for commenting x
Oh, they were absolutely scrumptious! Make an exception for these little guys-you won't regret it <3
They are soooo good! Thanks for hosting <3
Oh yes, I know all about the stomach upset from lactose! Definitely give these a try <3
It really is just a basic cookie recipe with a few things substituted in, I bet you'd surprise yourself in the kitchen x Thank you for your wonderful comment!
Hi Savannah, I don't follow any special diets (luckily I don't have to). These cookies sound like something that would go down well in this house, but I'm not sure I could get the ingredients (coconut flour and coconut sugar). We have a health food shop, but it's limited in what it stocks. Will be checking it out next time I'm in town though, just in case.

These cookies look so good! I haven't been brave enough to attempt coconut flour and sugar yet. This recipe looks like just the motivation I need to give it a try!
Thanks for sharing! 🙂
