Dessert recipes are always so popular here on EBF so I’ll continue to give you what you want… with a healthy spin. If you have a sweet tooth, but are also trying to make healthy decisions, these cookies are for you.
Why Coconut Flour Cookies?
Honestly, I’m really excited for today’s recipe because I’ve been experimenting with coconut flour a bit more lately. I realized that almost all my healthy baking recipes involve almond or oat flour, and I only have one with coconut flour (this amazing coconut flour banana bread!).
The reason? Baking with coconut flour can be challenging and it takes some experimenting to get recipes just right! But it’s oh so worth it because it offers a texture that is a bit softer and more dense than traditional flour and the flavor is awesome. And I love that it adds a hint of natural sweetness to baked goods without a ton of coconut flavor, making it a great option for baking, even if you’re not looking to make a coconut flavored dessert.
Like I mentioned, coconut flour has a little natural sweetness built in, making it perfect for baked goods. It’s a great option for anyone allergic to almonds or those looking for a gluten-free and grain-free flour option. Coconut flour is also cheaper than other grain-free flours like almond flour. Woo!
Where to Buy Coconut Flour
I’ve been ordering my coconut flour from Thrive Market when I put in my pantry staples order (I love the Bob’s Red Mill brand), but I’ve seen coconut flour in most of the major grocery stores now too which is awesome! You might also be able to find it in bulk at Whole Foods or your local health food store.
Ingredients in Coconut Flour Cookies
I love recipes that require minimal ingredients and prep work and these coconut flour cookies totally fit the bill. You only need 8 ingredients (7 if you skip the chocolate chips) and one bowl.
coconut flour
coconut oil
honey
eggs
vanilla extract
sea salt
baking soda
chocolate chips (optional)
How To Make Coconut Flour Cookies
These cookies are super simple to whip up, especially since you can make the cookie dough in one bowl!
Step 1: Start by mixing your wet ingredients (coconut oil, honey, eggs, and vanilla) together in a medium-sized bowl. Mix in the coconut flour, salt, and baking soda until well combined. The mixture may seem runny at first, but it will thicken as the coconut flour absorbs the liquid! Trust me, coconut flour is like a sponge.
Step 2: After the dough has thickened a little, stir in the chocolate chips. As I mention in the recipe notes, you can leave the chocolate chips out if you want to keep the sugar and carbs lower. That said, I think the chocolate chips totally make the cookies so I would highly recommend using them.
Step 3: Bake the cookies at 350° degrees for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the pan and then transfer to a wire rack for additional cooling. Once completely cool, it’s time to enjoy!
For storage: I recommend keeping the cookies in an air-tight container in your refrigerator. Coconut flour cookies will last much longer (up to 7 days) stored in the refrigerator. Plus, I really like how they taste straight from the fridge.

Soft and delicious, these coconut flour cookies are so easy to whip up (only 8 ingredients)! Plus they’re grain-free, low carb, low sugar and less than 95 calories each!
Ingredients
½ cup (60 grams) coconut flour
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup chocolate chips (optional)*
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Stir together coconut oil, honey, eggs, and vanilla into a medium size mixing bowl.
Add coconut flour, salt, and baking soda until mixture is combined. It may seem a little loose at first but the dough will begin to thicken as the coconut flour soaks up the liquid. Stir in chocolate chips, if using.
Scoop dough using a cookie scoop and press into a cookie shape with your fingers.
Place cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the bottom and edges of the cookies are golden brown. Remove from oven.
Allow to cool on the pan, then transfer to a baking rack to cool completely and enjoy!
Store cookies in an air-tight container at room temp or in the refrigerator. Cookies will last much longer (up to 7 days) stored in the refrigerator. I personally really like how they taste straight from the fridge.
Notes
Leave out the chocolate chips to keep this recipe lower in carbs and sugar.

Hey Alina – The sunflower oil might change the taste of these cookies. You can always use canola/vegetable oil or butter/ghee instead of the coconut oil for a more neutral taste.
Hi, i did the chocolate cookies. I left them in the oven for 16 min rather than 12-14. In Celcius degrees the oven should be at 177. I did not have honey so I put coconaut sugar 1/4 cup or less, they where good!
good for an entirely coconut cookie, but bc of that, very dry.
used maple syrup instead of honey; you know its actually quite unhealthy to heat up honey before consuming it!! baking with it makes it like glue in the guts
Sorry to hear that the cookies turned out dry for you. Did the dough seem dry? You might have needed to add some additional liquid to the mixture or they could have been cooked too long in the oven.
Hey Keya – Some people have used flax eggs and said it worked well! You can sub the 2 eggs for 2 flax eggs (3 T of water mixed with 1 T flaxseed). Let me know how the cookies turn out for you if you end up trying them!
I was pleasantly surprised with the taste of this cookie! After other recipes I was cautious but now have a keeper. I did use maple syrup & flax eggs in place of the honey & eggs. Thank you for sharing!
So glad you loved this recipe, Debby! Thanks for giving it a chance and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. And good to know about the flax eggs. 🙂
This was my first time baking with coconut flour. I’m not a baker so maybe that’s why the cookies didn’t come out so good. They are super soft. Like their not cooked. The dough was sticky. I substituted maple syrup for vanilla. I’m allergic to vanilla. I will try again.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that these cookies didn’t turn out for you, Terresha. The coconut flour will definitely cause these cookies to be soft versus crunchy, but they shouldn’t be doughy inside. They might have just needed a few more minutes to cook it sounds like. Let me know if you end up trying these again and how they turn out for you!
Great cookies!!
I am following a SIBO protocol diet, so I am very limited in what I can have at the moment and have been dying for cookies. I subbed the honey for pure stevia dissolved in water and had to leave out the chocolate chips, but I rolled them in some cinnamon for flavor and they turned out so great. I actually did 1.5x the recipe and it still yielded about 13 cookies, so I will double it next time or make them smaller : )
Thanks for the recipe!
Oh I love the idea of rolling them in cinnamon! 🙂 I’m so glad you were able to make this recipe work for your diet, Valerie. Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It’s super helpful for other readers, so I appreciate it. 🙂
I’ve been making this recipe almost every week and I love it! These are so easy to make and so delicious to taste. I totally recommend it! The first time I made it I got so excited by the results that I made a whole more for my family. They all loved them too.
Ahh yay! So glad you’ve been loving these cookies, Khristian. 🙂 Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment + star rating. I really appreciate it!
These sound really good and I’m going to make them. However I was going to use butter in place of coconut oil so I put the ingredients in a recipe nutrition calculator and came up with less calories and carbs than you have even though I increased the chocolate chips to 1/2 cup. Any thoughts? Thanks
Hey Sheila – The different stats are likely the ingredients that you’re inputting since I’m sure they’re different than the brands I entered. I would just go off the stats you entered with the products you use. 🙂
I just made these cookies and they taste great! I took them out a bit early as I like chewy cookies. Changes to the recipe: I used butter instead of coconut oil, added toasted shredded coconut, chopped chocolate, forgot the baking soda, omitted the salt because my butter was salted, and used golden syrup instead of honey. My batter was a bit wet because I didn’t measure the coconut flour!
Thanks for a yummy and gluten free recipe!
I’m glad you enjoyed these cookies, Ulwi! Thanks for making my recipe and for sharing the subs you made. It’s super helpful for other readers, so I appreciate it. 🙂
The dough was to soft to make a cookie, so I put it in the frig.it got cold and that was fine. It taste good, but is a soft cookie and does not get hard. First time using coconut flour and I will make it again. Thank you.
Whenever the kids like it that’s a success! Haha! I’m glad these cookies turned out for you, Joyce. Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I appreciate it. <3
I used chopped up dates, apricots and raisins instead of chocolate chips.
I had not used coconut flour before.
This recipe worked for me.
These are a nice healthy cake like pastry treat, whether you are avoiding gluten or not.
This is the first recipe I’ve ever tried using coconut flour, and I didn’t really know what to expect. They turned out better than I hoped. We used 2 tbsp of chocolate chips, trying to keep the calories down. Next time I think i’m definitely gonna use more. The cookies were spongier than cookies made with regular flour, too. More like a cake than like cookies, I think. Overall, though, they were pretty good. I’m satisfied and I’ll be making them again in the future for sure! Thanks!
I’m glad you enjoyed these cookies, Brittany! Coconut flour definitely has a different consistency than regular flour. 🙂 Thanks for giving this recipe a chance and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I really appreciate it!
Hey Nikki – I haven’t tried these cookies with an egg substitute, so I’m not 100% sure how they’d turn out, but a few others have said that flax eggs worked as a substitute! Let me know how they turn out for you if you end up making them. 🙂
I‘m so happy with this recipe. I used maple syrup and raisins instead of honey and chocolate chips. Cookies are moist and yummy. My daughter said this is SO good. I will definitely make it again and again. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I am so happy and thankful that I found this recipe. After doing countless recipes using coconut flour, I’m so ready to just throw away all my remaining coconut flour because all those food I cooked before using coconut flour were just plain nasty. So this recipe is really really heaven sent. In the Philippines, where I live, coconut flour is super cheap. Now I know that using this flour is not hopeless. BTW, I used salted butter so I didn’t add salt anymore. I also used maple syrup instead of honey for the taste. I am in kept diet, but I make room for the carbs of maple syrup because I’m using coconut flour anyway. My cookies came out like a cross between a shortbread and coconut macaroons. Not really the crunchy cookie we know, but I’m totally fine with that 🙂 Thanks to your website!
Ahh I’m so glad these cookies restored your hope in coconut flour! I know it can be a finicky flour to bake with. You should also try my coconut flour banana bread recipe. It’s a big hit and one of my personal faves. 🙂 Thanks so much for giving this recipe a chance and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I really appreciate it!
Hi Faith! I haven’t tried these cookies with any other oil besides coconut oil so I’m not sure how they would turn out with something else. I think butter would be the closest substitute to the coconut oil. Let me know if you end up experimenting with a substitute.
Love Love Love this coconut cookies. Super satisfying. Plus few ingredients and quick recipe.My kids can’t stop eating this amazing cookies. Thank you Brittany for creating such amazing healthy recipes.
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Namrata! I’m so glad these cookies were a hit with your kids. 🙂 Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it.
I am finally impressed with an AIP cookie recipe. I had to sub toasted coconut for the chocolate chips(not a fan of carob) and collagen powder, cream of tartar and ACV for the eggs, but the cookies look just like the pictures and they’re really yummy with a cup of green tea. Thank you so much for this little indulgence on my healing journey. Now if I could just find a decent compliant pasta….
Hey Fay, I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe and thanks for sharing the subs you made! Just curious, did you mean to leave 3 stars on the recipe? If something didn’t work for you or you have any troubles with the recipe, I’d love to hear from you! 🙂
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Bailey. So glad you’re loving the recipes. Thanks so much for trying these cookies and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it!
I’m recently gluten free by Dr’s orders & really didn’t want to make the switch, but recipes like this one have made me realize I can still enjoy goodies! Added bonus? My kiddos love them too. Thank you!
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Aimee!! I’m so glad you enjoyed these cookies and that they were a hit with the kiddos. Thanks for trying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it!
I haven’t ever tested the recipe with olive oil instead of coconut oil so I’m not sure how they will turn out. Feel free to experiment and let me know if it works.
They’re definitely supposed to be softer cookies, but shouldn’t be wet on the inside. Did you change anything about the recipe? How long did you cook them for?
I have made these 3 – 4 times now and I have loved them every time! This last time, I made them with maple syrup instead of honey, and I actually think it was my best batch yet. They just seemed a little less cakey, and a bit more cookie with the syrup. But they were honestly just as tasty with the honey. Love this recipe – so simple and delicious!
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed these cookies, Angela. Thanks for trying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it!
I was slightly worried that these won’t taste the greatest because I made the mistake of buying refined coconut oil. To compensate for that I added a little bit of cinnamon.
It’s the second day and they are even better than yesterday; amazing texture, taste, and the perfect treat. This will be my go to cookie recipe from now on!
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Mimi! I’m so glad you enjoyed these cookies. Thanks for giving them a shot and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating I really appreciate it!
Hey Layal – You could swap the coconut oil for butter. Also, what type of coconut oil did you use (virgin or refined)? Virgin coconut oil has more of a coconut taste where refined is more neutral, so that could have been the reason for it being extra coconut-y tasting.
Ahh yay! That makes me so happy to hear, Jennifer. Thanks for trying this recipe and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it. <3
These GF cookies are so light, fluffy & absolutely delicious. I’m literally eating one as I type this! So easy to make, thank you for another winner, Brittany!!!
These are really good! I used homemade coconut flour after preparing some coconut milk for another recipe and it turned out just fine! Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you Cynthia! I’m glad you enjoyed these cookies. Thanks for trying them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it!
I made this cookies and followed the recipe but the batter never didn’t thicken I had to add another 1/2 of flour for it to finally thicken also they turned out very soft, I even left them in the oven until the top turned golden brown but they still very spongy, is that normal?
All of that aside they taste really good, but they turned out a little bit too sweet I think it’s because I didn’t have chocolate chips so I broke a regular chocolate bar into pieces and it already had sugar in it.
Hey Roxana – I’m so sorry to hear that. You definitely shouldn’t need more coconut flour for the batter to thicken up. What brand of coconut flour did you use? It wasn’t old was it? And you didn’t change anything about the recipe?
Ahh yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed these cookies, Connie. Thanks for trying them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it! <3
After the appropriate cooling period had lapsed, I thought the cookies tasted too eggy, (which was surprising as the recipe uses way less eggs than most coconut flour recipes), however, after refrigerating the cookies, the previous taste was replaced by sheer deliciousness!! My husband & I are fighting over the last cookie now! I also made your coconut flour banana bread & it is to die for! Thank you.
I just made these and they’re great! I used Leatherwood honey and found it a bit overpowering so might use maple syrup another time. I also used baking powder (misread the recipe) and they were fine. Used a teaspoon and got about 16 small biscuits. I liked that I only needed a single mixing bowl.
I did find that the coconut oil re-solidified as soon as I added the eggs. Didn’t seem to affect it once cooked but some cookies might be oilier than others.
Hi
I really want to make this recipe but we use grams here in the UK. Would you be able to tell me the grams measurement for all the ingredients please?
Hey Zara! You should be able to find an online conversation that converts the measurements to grams. 🙂 I do have noted that the 1/2 cup of coconut flour is 60 grams, so 1/4 cup should be 30 grams.
Just made these and they’re delicious! First time using coconut flour and I used applesauce instead of oil and added a little cinnamon. They needed a few extra minutes to cook but even my picky children loved them!!
Ahh that’s amazing!! I’m so glad these cookies were a hit with your kiddos. Thanks for trying my recipe and for taking the time to leave a comment and star rating. It’s super helpful for other readers, so I really appreciate it, Kara!
Hey Jenna – That should work just fine. If the dough seems too dry from not using honey, you can always add a little splash of milk. Let me know how these cookies turn out for you if you end up making them!
I tried it and loved the taste. However mine was pretty soft and lack crunch…is it suppose to be like this? I had replaced coconut oil for melted butter but the rest are the same. Even after leaving some batch to bake longer they still remain pretty soft.
OMG I made these cookies tonight and ate over half the darn batch!!! I made exactly as follows except I used canola oil added a pinch of cinnamon. Even my picky hubby enjoyed them. I will be making again 👍
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Ree. I’m so glad these cookies were a hit!! Thanks for trying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It’s super helpful to other readers. 🙂
I made a batch of these delicious cookies for my girlfriend and she loved them. Then I made a batch for myself where I replaced the coconut oil with my finest homemade THC infused butter. Being gluten intolerant, it was nice to find a nice recipe to go flying real high. Thank you !
Ahh yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed these cookies, Coco. Thanks for giving my recipe a try and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I so appreciate it!!
I made this during the quarantine in Sri Lanka where we now have curfew. The cookies are lovely.i used fresh vanilla as that’s all I had at home. I also had to bake for a bit longer since I made the cookies a bit bigger.
So glad you enjoyed these cookies, Varuni! Thanks so much for trying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I really appreciate it!
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Sylvana! I’m so glad you enjoyed these cookies. Thanks for trying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it!
Hi, I don’t have my coconut oil, can I substitute it with something else? They don’t have to be dairy feee, I have some coconut flour I need to use up, thank you
Yes, you can replace the Coconut Oil with another oil. They came out delicious and so light! Fabulous recipe!
Brittany, thank you from all of us who thought we wouldn’t be able to make it share sweet treats with our friends and families because of Celiac or other intolerances!! You have no idea how much we appreciate these recipes. I am especially thankful as so many recipes have potato flour, which I, and so many others have an intolerance to because of a Nightshades allergy.
Made these yesterday during New Zealands 4 week Covid19 lock down. Really delicious, thank you.
So simple to make, I’ve shared this recipe with my work colleagues.
Many thanks, Helen
Excellent! I was looking for a coconut cookie recipe so I used sweetened coconut instead of the chocolate chips and I dipped the tops of the cookies in coconut before I shaped them on the cookie sheet. The only other change I made was that I doubled the vanilla. I loved the fact that they weren’t too sweet – just perfect!
I’m not sure since I haven’t tried it! I would just look up baking soda to baking powder conversions because you might need to use less or more. Let me know if you end up trying it!!
I was looking for a cookie recipe where I could use my leftover coconut flour and corn syrup “maple syrup” (from church breakfast). I hate wasting or throwing away any food. Your recipe was perfect! Since my husband loves coconut, I used the “maple syrup” to replace the honey, used coconut extract instead of vanilla, used sweetened coconut flakes to replace the chocolate chips. The cookies turned out wonderful! My husband loves them – crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with just the right amount of chewiness! The taste of the coconut was perfect. No maple flavor came through, just a mild sweetness. I will make these again – thank you for the recipe!
These are AMAZING! Trying to please toddlers while remaining healthy is a challenge but this recipe lives up to it! Wondering, though, if I can use pure maple syrup ILO honey as the honey can be a bit overwhelming in the cookies, for my taste.
Ahh this makes me so happy to hear, Liz! Thanks for tying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I so appreciate it! And yes, you can totally swap out the honey for maple syrup!
Loved the simplicity of the ingredients! Fast to put together and fun with kids. So delicious! They were gone instantly! my dough was a bit wet even after i waited for the flour to absorb the moisture. i added a little more flour (i think i added more oil and thats the reason why it was more wet than it had to be) i will be trying this recipe again! <3
Ahh you’re so welcome, Sarah! I’m so glad you have been loving these cookies. Thanks for coming back to leave a comment and star rating, I so appreciate it. <3
I have made these twice, i love how easy they are! Mine seem to come out a with more of a cake density than cookie. But they are still delicious. Do you have any suggestions? My batter doesn’t seem to be as smooth as the video. My only other thought is to bake them longer.
Hey Elizabeth – These cookies are definitely supposed to be more dense than traditional cookies since we’re using coconut flour. Do you feel as though your batter has chunks of coconut flour still in it? You might just need to mix the batter more. 🙂
I am just done baking those , I did 2 flax seed egg , I added 1 Tbs natural crunchy peanut butter and reduced the coconut oil by 1Tbs . My batter was perfect the cookies are very tasty , I like crunchier cookies so I decided to pop them in my dehydrator for a bit longer just to see if they will crisp up . I liked your recipe because it was quick not too many ingredient and not too fattening ..
Hey Maritza – I haven’t tried it with chia eggs, so I’m not sure how the cookies will turn out. I have had someone let me know that they used flax eggs and they turned out perfectly for them, so I’m sure chia eggs will be just fine. Definitely let me know if you try these cookies and how they turn out. 🙂
Hey Karen – I am not sure how they’ll turn out with sugar-free syrup instead of the coconut oil, but you can certainly try it! Let me know how these cookies turn out if you try them.
Hello Brittany I followed your recipe but I skipped the salt and substitute honey with coconut sugar and what I got is cracked broken cookies what can I do please I felt down after it 🙁
Hey Yousef, I’m so sorry to hear that these cookies didn’t turn out for you. The coconut flour is already a dry flour, so swapping the honey for coconut sugar probably dried out the cookies more. Did the dough seem dry to you? If you don’t want to use honey, next time I would suggest using maple syrup or agave instead.
If you need to use up coconut flour as I did, this is much better than making something larger. The size of cookies was perfect for them to be soft inside, yet not too fragile.
Thanks for trying my recipe, Gunda! I’m glad the cookies turned out for you. 🙂 And thank you so much for coming back to leave a comment + star rating, I so appreciate it!
Trying to get rid of my coconut flour and honey so this was perfect. I increased the vanilla extract and subbed melted margarine instead of coconut oil so the texture came out more like small fluffy cakes but still tasted great! Flavours were very subtle.
Although not sure how you yielded 12 because I only got 8 shop-bought sized cookies out of the batter. I guess maybe if you bulked it out with chocolate chips?
I had the opposite happen! We don’t tend to use cookie scoops in Australia so I just used a teaspoon and got at least 16. They’re bite-sized though, definitely not ‘shop-bought’ size (I always find those too big).
So glad you enjoyed these cookies, Jenny! I used a small cookie dough scoop to portion out the cookies, so mine might have been smaller? Thanks for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It means the world to me. <3
I could not believe how delicious these cookies were. I substituted chopped peans and two flax eggs. Increased the vanilla to a tsp. The batter tasted so good, I couldn’t wait to get them in the oven. I rolled 2 tsp.of the batter into a ball in my hand and gently flattened them like you would do making hamburgers. If you put in too many chopped pecans the cookies will crumble. A+++ recipe!!!!
Ahh this makes me so happy to hear, Lisa! I’m so glad you enjoyed these cookies. Thank you for trying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. It means the world to me!
Thanks Brittany. These are curiously moreish and out of the fridge is a good tip! We used a choc melt on the top of each biscuit instead of the choc chips and were pretty happy with the result.
Trying it again with some chopped glace ginger. Australians don’t use these things called ‘cookie scoops’ so the shaping was a bit fiddly but I just rolled about a tablespoon of mixture into a ball and flattened it out. While I’m here, thanks for your samoas recipe – I get rave reviews for those even without the choc topping 🙂
The taste is nice but I too had the problem of them not flattening and crumbling. This was a let down. Yes, I used the right measurements and pressed down into a cookie shape. If you need a crumble for anything else, this would taste good crumbled on something perhaps.
I’ve been afraid to indulge in cookies due to their sugar content. I substituted the honey with monk fruit (sugar substitute). Cookies are light and delicate. Such perfection! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Yay!! Thank you for trying my recipe, Karen. I’m so glad you enjoyed these cookies. And thank you for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It’s super helpful to other readers!
I changed the recipe just a bit because I didn’t have all of the ingredients. I used butter in place of the coconut oil, xylitol instead of honey (Idissolved in a little water to make it a thicker consistency) and I replaced the chips with pecans. They were good as they were, but then I found a bar of 80% cocao in the pantry, so melted a square and added about a tsp of HWC stirred it up and drizzled across the cookie. I only made 8 out of this recipe. About the size of a package cookie. I bet these will taste even better once placed in the refrigerator. I am very pleased.
Wanna make these but I need to know what size cookie scoop did you use?
Teaspoon, 2Teaspoon or Tablespoon?
These will make great Christmas cookies😁
Thank you in advance!!!
My cookies stay in a ball shape never get flatter like the pictures say! They also are always so crumbly when baked. I wait until the batter is thick and sticks together great when I roll the dough into balls. What am I doin. Wrong?!
Hey Kate – I am so sorry to hear that! Did you press the dough into a cookie shape with your fingers before putting the pan into the oven? And if they are turning out crumbly that means you might have overbaked them or that they didn’t have enough liquid. How long did you leave them in the oven for and did you change anything about the recipe?
Hi, I don’t have time to read all the comments, maybe this was asked before ( I saw other substitutions) Can I use Rapeseed or Sunflower or Olive oil instead of coconut oil? Love the sound/look of these, I’m very new at the coconut thing, have both flour and sugar here at home but the coconut oil is expensive here (in England, UK) ….
Hey Dana – You should be able to follow the recipe as listed. The only thing I could foresee is that you might need to bake them a tad bit longer. I’d just keep an eye on them while they’re baking!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Billie Jo! Thanks for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. The ratings are super helpful, so I appreciate it.
We were craving cookies tonight, but have a lot of sensitivities that make baking difficult (and we’ve had a lot of coconut flour cookies that have flopped). My husband and I both loved these! We are adding the recipe to our cook book so we never lose it! Highly recommend!
Yay!! That makes me SO happy to hear, Amy. I’m glad these cookies turned out for you! And thank you so much for taking the time to come back and leave a comment and star rating. The ratings are super helpful so I appreciate it!
A very nice cookie recipe that can be fiddled with! I added 2 T of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients instead of chocolate chips to get the chocolate taste without the added fat and sugar, and I tried the recipe again leaving out the vanilla and adding 2 t of grated lemon rind for a lemon cookie. Both worked well.
So easy to make and so delicious! You have to love the texture the coconut flour gives to any recipe, this was my first try with this type of flour and thanks to your recipe it was very successful!
Woo-hoo! This makes me so happy, Veronica. You’ll have to try some of my other coconut flour recipes too. I LOVE this coconut flour banana bread. And thank you so much for coming back to leave a comment (and star rating) on the recipe. I so appreciate it and I know other EBF readers will too.
Yay! I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed these cookies, Heidi. Thank you for coming back to leave a comment and star rating as well. I so appreciate it!
I didn’t have enough coconut oil so I added melted pure peanut butter. And substituted chia “eggs” for the eggs and cacao nibs for the chocolate chips. This is the first time I’ve baked anything other than eggs/butter/flour/sugar/chocolate chips and wow, these are addictively good. Thank you!
Hi Dorothy! I’m so glad that you enjoyed this recipe with your substitutions. I’m sure the melted peanut butter was a delicious addition! Thanks for sharing and thank you for taking the time to come back and leave a comment (and star rating). Your feedback is super helpful to the EBF community!
I was craving a sweet treat and had coconut flour in pantry so I found this recipe online, made them and our household loved them! Shared the recipe with a friend who shared it with her sister too :)) it’s a keeper.
Hi Nenita! I am so happy you found this recipe and that you enjoyed the cookies! Thank you for sharing and for taking the time to leave a comment and star rating. It means the world to me!
Made it for a second time. It is our new favorite. The guests went nuts for it at our party.We made a huge vat of it. We were asked who the caterer was who made it. I said “I did!” The complement goes to the creator of this post. Thank you for sharing.
These are not only delicious, but are so quick and easy to make. Today I made them for the second time. The only thing I changed was that I used maple syrup instead of honey. Thank you Brittany!
The coconut flavour captured the whole house. I added a bit coconut sugar as well. Even without vanilla extract they are so nice. My family liked the cookies so much. Thanks a lot for such an easy and perfect recipe. I’m going to make the next portion 😉😉😉
Woo-hoo! I’m so excited that you enjoyed the coconut flour cookies, Nadia. And I really appreciate you coming back to leave a comment and star rating on the recipe as well. This feedback is super helpful so thank you! <3
After I had lost hope in coconut flour baked goods these cookies were amazing! Super easy to make and very delicious. I also made the coconut flour banana bread and it is a new staple in our house. Thank you Brittany!
Made these exactly according to the recipe and they were a big hit with my family! All 12 were gobbled up before I knew it. The coconut flour plus the honey gives them a nice sweetness without having to add any sugar. These are a great treat to have on hand!
Hooray! This makes me so happy Emmeline. I love that your whole family enjoyed them. And I totally agree, the coconut flour and honey add the perfect amount of sweetness to the cookies. Thank you SO much for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. It’s so helpful.
Hi Theresa. This recipe was specifically tested with only coconut flour because I wanted to create a tasty coconut flour cookie. I haven’t tried it with a gluten-free flour blend but I would imagine you’d need more flour.
Hi,
This recipe looks great! Just quickly, I was wondering if you would recommend a fruit substitute (raspberries, blueberries, sultanas etc) for the chocolate- I am a teacher (gluten free) and so wanting to explore recipes with the children that contain fruit and vegetables.
Thanks so much
I’m so glad you enjoyed the coconut flour cookies, Elisabeth. I just ate the last one of my batch last night so I need to make another batch soon! I also really appreciate you taking the time to come back and leave a comment and star rating on the recipe. This feedback is super helpful!
These are delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe! I did use butter instead of the coconut oil with white chocolate chips and pecans–they’re delicious!
I haven’t ever worked with aquafaba and I know coconut flour needs eggs to help with the texture and rise of baked goods. I should test this recipe with aquafaba and see how it works. Until then, I recommend checking out my friend, Dana’s site. She works with aquafaba a ton and has has several recipes using it including these cookies: https://minimalistbaker.com/perfect-vegan-gluten-free-chocolate-chip-cookies/ 🙂

Made these the last two nights and they’re divine!! I didn’t have enough honey so I used maple syrup and they were perfectly sweet.

Ahh yay!! So glad you’re loving these cookies, Morgan. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it!
Hi! I would love to try this recipe. My only question is can I use sunflower oil instead of coconut oil? Thank you.
Hey Alina – The sunflower oil might change the taste of these cookies. You can always use canola/vegetable oil or butter/ghee instead of the coconut oil for a more neutral taste.
Hi, i did the chocolate cookies. I left them in the oven for 16 min rather than 12-14. In Celcius degrees the oven should be at 177. I did not have honey so I put coconaut sugar 1/4 cup or less, they where good!
Planning to make these tomorrow but am wondering: if you substitute maple syrup for honey, do you use the same amount?
Yes! That should be a fine swap and it should be the same amount too!
good for an entirely coconut cookie, but bc of that, very dry.
used maple syrup instead of honey; you know its actually quite unhealthy to heat up honey before consuming it!! baking with it makes it like glue in the guts
★★★
Sorry to hear that the cookies turned out dry for you. Did the dough seem dry? You might have needed to add some additional liquid to the mixture or they could have been cooked too long in the oven.
These were fantastic and easy to make! Highly recommend trying out this recipe!
★★★★★
Yay!! So glad you enjoyed these cookies, Brittany! Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it. <3
Can I freeze the dough & bake them whenever I feel like it?
★★★★★
I haven’t tried it, but don’t see why not!
Thanks!!
★★★★★
Hi Brittany,
I wanted to try the recipe, but I don’t eat eggs. Could I use flax eggs instead, if so, what are the measurements?
Thanks!
Hey Keya – Some people have used flax eggs and said it worked well! You can sub the 2 eggs for 2 flax eggs (3 T of water mixed with 1 T flaxseed). Let me know how the cookies turn out for you if you end up trying them!
I was pleasantly surprised with the taste of this cookie! After other recipes I was cautious but now have a keeper. I did use maple syrup & flax eggs in place of the honey & eggs. Thank you for sharing!
★★★★★
So glad you loved this recipe, Debby! Thanks for giving it a chance and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. And good to know about the flax eggs. 🙂
This was my first time baking with coconut flour. I’m not a baker so maybe that’s why the cookies didn’t come out so good. They are super soft. Like their not cooked. The dough was sticky. I substituted maple syrup for vanilla. I’m allergic to vanilla. I will try again.
★★★★
Oh no! Sorry to hear that these cookies didn’t turn out for you, Terresha. The coconut flour will definitely cause these cookies to be soft versus crunchy, but they shouldn’t be doughy inside. They might have just needed a few more minutes to cook it sounds like. Let me know if you end up trying these again and how they turn out for you!
Great cookies!!
I am following a SIBO protocol diet, so I am very limited in what I can have at the moment and have been dying for cookies. I subbed the honey for pure stevia dissolved in water and had to leave out the chocolate chips, but I rolled them in some cinnamon for flavor and they turned out so great. I actually did 1.5x the recipe and it still yielded about 13 cookies, so I will double it next time or make them smaller : )
Thanks for the recipe!
★★★★★
Oh I love the idea of rolling them in cinnamon! 🙂 I’m so glad you were able to make this recipe work for your diet, Valerie. Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It’s super helpful for other readers, so I appreciate it. 🙂
I’ve been making this recipe almost every week and I love it! These are so easy to make and so delicious to taste. I totally recommend it! The first time I made it I got so excited by the results that I made a whole more for my family. They all loved them too.
★★★★★
Ahh yay! So glad you’ve been loving these cookies, Khristian. 🙂 Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment + star rating. I really appreciate it!
DELICIOUS!! I used 1/3 cup Swerve instead of honey and used sugar free chocolate chips. Loved the coconut flavor.
★★★★★
These sound really good and I’m going to make them. However I was going to use butter in place of coconut oil so I put the ingredients in a recipe nutrition calculator and came up with less calories and carbs than you have even though I increased the chocolate chips to 1/2 cup. Any thoughts? Thanks
Hey Sheila! What calculator did you use?
Verywellfit
Hey Sheila – The different stats are likely the ingredients that you’re inputting since I’m sure they’re different than the brands I entered. I would just go off the stats you entered with the products you use. 🙂
I just made these cookies and they taste great! I took them out a bit early as I like chewy cookies. Changes to the recipe: I used butter instead of coconut oil, added toasted shredded coconut, chopped chocolate, forgot the baking soda, omitted the salt because my butter was salted, and used golden syrup instead of honey. My batter was a bit wet because I didn’t measure the coconut flour!
Thanks for a yummy and gluten free recipe!
★★★★★
I’m glad you enjoyed these cookies, Ulwi! Thanks for making my recipe and for sharing the subs you made. It’s super helpful for other readers, so I appreciate it. 🙂
The dough was to soft to make a cookie, so I put it in the frig.it got cold and that was fine. It taste good, but is a soft cookie and does not get hard. First time using coconut flour and I will make it again. Thank you.
★★★★★
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe.

You’re so welcome, Selen! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Followed recipe exactly. Came out light, moist and yummy. Kids gave it a thumbs up, so you know it’s good.

Whenever the kids like it that’s a success! Haha! I’m glad these cookies turned out for you, Joyce. Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I appreciate it. <3
I used chopped up dates, apricots and raisins instead of chocolate chips.
I had not used coconut flour before.
This recipe worked for me.
These are a nice healthy cake like pastry treat, whether you are avoiding gluten or not.
★★★★★
This is the first recipe I’ve ever tried using coconut flour, and I didn’t really know what to expect. They turned out better than I hoped. We used 2 tbsp of chocolate chips, trying to keep the calories down. Next time I think i’m definitely gonna use more. The cookies were spongier than cookies made with regular flour, too. More like a cake than like cookies, I think. Overall, though, they were pretty good. I’m satisfied and I’ll be making them again in the future for sure! Thanks!
★★★★
I’m glad you enjoyed these cookies, Brittany! Coconut flour definitely has a different consistency than regular flour. 🙂 Thanks for giving this recipe a chance and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I really appreciate it!

Yay!! So glad these cookies are a hit. Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating, Lubna. I so appreciate it. 🙂
Hello, my daughter is allergic to eggs – are there any subs you can suggest?
Hey Nikki – I haven’t tried these cookies with an egg substitute, so I’m not 100% sure how they’d turn out, but a few others have said that flax eggs worked as a substitute! Let me know how they turn out for you if you end up making them. 🙂
I added pecans and carob chips.
I‘m so happy with this recipe. I used maple syrup and raisins instead of honey and chocolate chips. Cookies are moist and yummy. My daughter said this is SO good. I will definitely make it again and again. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
★★★★★
I am so happy and thankful that I found this recipe. After doing countless recipes using coconut flour, I’m so ready to just throw away all my remaining coconut flour because all those food I cooked before using coconut flour were just plain nasty. So this recipe is really really heaven sent. In the Philippines, where I live, coconut flour is super cheap. Now I know that using this flour is not hopeless. BTW, I used salted butter so I didn’t add salt anymore. I also used maple syrup instead of honey for the taste. I am in kept diet, but I make room for the carbs of maple syrup because I’m using coconut flour anyway. My cookies came out like a cross between a shortbread and coconut macaroons. Not really the crunchy cookie we know, but I’m totally fine with that 🙂 Thanks to your website!
★★★★★
Ahh I’m so glad these cookies restored your hope in coconut flour! I know it can be a finicky flour to bake with. You should also try my coconut flour banana bread recipe. It’s a big hit and one of my personal faves. 🙂 Thanks so much for giving this recipe a chance and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I really appreciate it!
Can you use something else to replace the coconut oil? Btw I cant wait to try this. I went Gluten Free this year, and your recipes are amazing!!
Hi Faith! I haven’t tried these cookies with any other oil besides coconut oil so I’m not sure how they would turn out with something else. I think butter would be the closest substitute to the coconut oil. Let me know if you end up experimenting with a substitute.
Could we use unsweetened applesauce? I use it in place of oil for zucchini and banana bread.
★★★★★
Hey Christine! I haven’t tried it, but I bet it would work! Let me know if you try it. 🙂
What an easy recipe! I was not aware it was going to be this spongy but yummy none the less!! Super impressed!!!! Thanks!

I am finally impressed with an AIP cookie recipe. I had to sub toasted coconut for the chocolate chips(not a fan of carob) and collagen powder, cream of tartar and ACV for the eggs, but the cookies look just like the pictures and they’re really yummy with a cup of green tea. Thank you so much for this little indulgence on my healing journey. Now if I could just find a decent compliant pasta….
Hugs and thanks

Can I usecoconut butter instead of coconut oil?
★★★★★
I think coconut oil or actual butter would be best for the cookies. Coconut butter is a different consistency.
Absolutely delicious 🙌

★★★★★
Oh yay! I hope you enjoy the cookies. How did you like the coconut flour pancakes?
LOVE this recipe – cookies were so fluffy and light!
How long can these stay out at room temperature?
Hey Bree! So glad you’re enjoying these cookies! They should stay good for about 3-4 days at room temp and about 7 if stored in the fridge. 🙂
Can I replace the honey with erythritol?
★★★★★
Hey Sandra – I’ve never tested it before, so I’m not sure they’ll turn out the same, but feel free to experiment!
Delicious GF cookies!
★★★★★
I haven’t made them yet but would like to know which coconut oil to use? Refined or unrefined?
Either one will work great. The unrefined will just impart more coconut flavor!
I’m recently gluten free by Dr’s orders & really didn’t want to make the switch, but recipes like this one have made me realize I can still enjoy goodies! Added bonus? My kiddos love them too. Thank you!

Hi! Can i replace the coconut oil to olive oil to make this cookies?
I haven’t ever tested the recipe with olive oil instead of coconut oil so I’m not sure how they will turn out. Feel free to experiment and let me know if it works.
Already made this and it turned out “wet” inside, is this supposed to be this soft? This is a bit more like a cake. Am i doing this wrong?
They’re definitely supposed to be softer cookies, but shouldn’t be wet on the inside. Did you change anything about the recipe? How long did you cook them for?
I have made these 3 – 4 times now and I have loved them every time! This last time, I made them with maple syrup instead of honey, and I actually think it was my best batch yet. They just seemed a little less cakey, and a bit more cookie with the syrup. But they were honestly just as tasty with the honey. Love this recipe – so simple and delicious!

I was slightly worried that these won’t taste the greatest because I made the mistake of buying refined coconut oil. To compensate for that I added a little bit of cinnamon.
It’s the second day and they are even better than yesterday; amazing texture, taste, and the perfect treat. This will be my go to cookie recipe from now on!
Thanks for sharing!

It was good! A little too coconut-y for me, but maybe next time I can at least replace coconut oil with butter – would that work?
★★★★
Hey Layal – You could swap the coconut oil for butter. Also, what type of coconut oil did you use (virgin or refined)? Virgin coconut oil has more of a coconut taste where refined is more neutral, so that could have been the reason for it being extra coconut-y tasting.
I’ve been looking fora satisfying coconut flour chocolate chip cookie. THIS IS IT! This is soft, sweet and satisfying. I love it so much. Thank you!

Thank you Cynthia! I’m glad you enjoyed these cookies. Thanks for trying them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it!
I made this cookies and followed the recipe but the batter never didn’t thicken I had to add another 1/2 of flour for it to finally thicken also they turned out very soft, I even left them in the oven until the top turned golden brown but they still very spongy, is that normal?
All of that aside they taste really good, but they turned out a little bit too sweet I think it’s because I didn’t have chocolate chips so I broke a regular chocolate bar into pieces and it already had sugar in it.
★★★★
Hey Roxana – I’m so sorry to hear that. You definitely shouldn’t need more coconut flour for the batter to thicken up. What brand of coconut flour did you use? It wasn’t old was it? And you didn’t change anything about the recipe?
Tried it. It was super delicious and dang easy. Unbeatable. Thanks EBF.
★★★★★
Ahh yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed these cookies, Connie. Thanks for trying them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it! <3
After the appropriate cooling period had lapsed, I thought the cookies tasted too eggy, (which was surprising as the recipe uses way less eggs than most coconut flour recipes), however, after refrigerating the cookies, the previous taste was replaced by sheer deliciousness!! My husband & I are fighting over the last cookie now! I also made your coconut flour banana bread & it is to die for! Thank you.
★★★★★
Yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the flavor of these cookies once they had a chance to cool and set. 🙂 Thanks so much for trying them, I appreciate it!
Forgot to leave a star rating 🙂
★★★★★
I just made these and they’re great! I used Leatherwood honey and found it a bit overpowering so might use maple syrup another time. I also used baking powder (misread the recipe) and they were fine. Used a teaspoon and got about 16 small biscuits. I liked that I only needed a single mixing bowl.
I did find that the coconut oil re-solidified as soon as I added the eggs. Didn’t seem to affect it once cooked but some cookies might be oilier than others.
Hi
I really want to make this recipe but we use grams here in the UK. Would you be able to tell me the grams measurement for all the ingredients please?
★★★★★
Hey Zara! You should be able to find an online conversation that converts the measurements to grams. 🙂 I do have noted that the 1/2 cup of coconut flour is 60 grams, so 1/4 cup should be 30 grams.
Very good. I used butterscotch chips
Since that is all I had.

Hi there
Can I use coconut sugar instead of honey?
Thank you
Jenna
Hey Jenna – That should work just fine. If the dough seems too dry from not using honey, you can always add a little splash of milk. Let me know how these cookies turn out for you if you end up making them!
This recipe was a flop. I measured it he ingredients exactly as specified and the dough did not thicken up.
Oh no!! I’m sorry to hear that Krisina. Did you change anything about the recipe?
I tried it and loved the taste. However mine was pretty soft and lack crunch…is it suppose to be like this? I had replaced coconut oil for melted butter but the rest are the same. Even after leaving some batch to bake longer they still remain pretty soft.
★★★★
Hey Kevin – These cookies are supposed to be soft versus crunchy. Did they seem mushy or undercooked to you or just soft?
We love these cookies. They are easy to make, satisfying and last in the fridge.

Yes, you can replace the Coconut Oil with another oil. They came out delicious and so light! Fabulous recipe!
Brittany, thank you from all of us who thought we wouldn’t be able to make it share sweet treats with our friends and families because of Celiac or other intolerances!! You have no idea how much we appreciate these recipes. I am especially thankful as so many recipes have potato flour, which I, and so many others have an intolerance to because of a Nightshades allergy.
★★★★★
Hey Sam! You can swap in butter or another oil for the coconut oil. 🙂
No measurements with the ingredients!

Hey Holly – Did you scroll all the way down to the full recipe? That is where the measurements are listed.
Made these yesterday during New Zealands 4 week Covid19 lock down. Really delicious, thank you.
So simple to make, I’ve shared this recipe with my work colleagues.
Many thanks, Helen
★★★★★
Excellent! I was looking for a coconut cookie recipe so I used sweetened coconut instead of the chocolate chips and I dipped the tops of the cookies in coconut before I shaped them on the cookie sheet. The only other change I made was that I doubled the vanilla. I loved the fact that they weren’t too sweet – just perfect!
★★★★★
A new favorite!!! Super easy to make and delicious. I love how dense and fluffy they are!
★★★★★
Can I use baking powder instead of baking soda?
I’m not sure since I haven’t tried it! I would just look up baking soda to baking powder conversions because you might need to use less or more. Let me know if you end up trying it!!
I was looking for a cookie recipe where I could use my leftover coconut flour and corn syrup “maple syrup” (from church breakfast). I hate wasting or throwing away any food. Your recipe was perfect! Since my husband loves coconut, I used the “maple syrup” to replace the honey, used coconut extract instead of vanilla, used sweetened coconut flakes to replace the chocolate chips. The cookies turned out wonderful! My husband loves them – crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with just the right amount of chewiness! The taste of the coconut was perfect. No maple flavor came through, just a mild sweetness. I will make these again – thank you for the recipe!
★★★★★
These are AMAZING! Trying to please toddlers while remaining healthy is a challenge but this recipe lives up to it! Wondering, though, if I can use pure maple syrup ILO honey as the honey can be a bit overwhelming in the cookies, for my taste.
★★★★★
Ahh this makes me so happy to hear, Liz! Thanks for tying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I so appreciate it! And yes, you can totally swap out the honey for maple syrup!
Loved the simplicity of the ingredients! Fast to put together and fun with kids. So delicious! They were gone instantly! my dough was a bit wet even after i waited for the flour to absorb the moisture. i added a little more flour (i think i added more oil and thats the reason why it was more wet than it had to be) i will be trying this recipe again! <3

I have made these twice, i love how easy they are! Mine seem to come out a with more of a cake density than cookie. But they are still delicious. Do you have any suggestions? My batter doesn’t seem to be as smooth as the video. My only other thought is to bake them longer.
Hey Elizabeth – These cookies are definitely supposed to be more dense than traditional cookies since we’re using coconut flour. Do you feel as though your batter has chunks of coconut flour still in it? You might just need to mix the batter more. 🙂
I am just done baking those , I did 2 flax seed egg , I added 1 Tbs natural crunchy peanut butter and reduced the coconut oil by 1Tbs . My batter was perfect the cookies are very tasty , I like crunchier cookies so I decided to pop them in my dehydrator for a bit longer just to see if they will crisp up . I liked your recipe because it was quick not too many ingredient and not too fattening ..

I accidentally used baking powder & then added the baking soda how do you think they will turn out
★★★★★
I’m not sure! Did you bake them already?
Can I use chia in water as substitute for the eggs?
Hey Maritza – I haven’t tried it with chia eggs, so I’m not sure how the cookies will turn out. I have had someone let me know that they used flax eggs and they turned out perfectly for them, so I’m sure chia eggs will be just fine. Definitely let me know if you try these cookies and how they turn out. 🙂
I’ve not made these yet but am wondering if I can use sugar free maple syrup in place of the coconut oil?
Hey Karen – I am not sure how they’ll turn out with sugar-free syrup instead of the coconut oil, but you can certainly try it! Let me know how these cookies turn out if you try them.
Delicious! Kid tested and approved! I followed the recipe except I did not add salt and I did 1tsp of vanilla. Thanks!
Woot woot! So glad you and your kids enjoyed these cookies, Kayla! 🙂
Hello Brittany I followed your recipe but I skipped the salt and substitute honey with coconut sugar and what I got is cracked broken cookies what can I do please I felt down after it 🙁
Hey Yousef, I’m so sorry to hear that these cookies didn’t turn out for you. The coconut flour is already a dry flour, so swapping the honey for coconut sugar probably dried out the cookies more. Did the dough seem dry to you? If you don’t want to use honey, next time I would suggest using maple syrup or agave instead.
If you need to use up coconut flour as I did, this is much better than making something larger. The size of cookies was perfect for them to be soft inside, yet not too fragile.
★★★★★
Thanks for trying my recipe, Gunda! I’m glad the cookies turned out for you. 🙂 And thank you so much for coming back to leave a comment + star rating, I so appreciate it!
Trying to get rid of my coconut flour and honey so this was perfect. I increased the vanilla extract and subbed melted margarine instead of coconut oil so the texture came out more like small fluffy cakes but still tasted great! Flavours were very subtle.
Although not sure how you yielded 12 because I only got 8 shop-bought sized cookies out of the batter. I guess maybe if you bulked it out with chocolate chips?
Thanks for the recipe!
★★★★★
I had the opposite happen! We don’t tend to use cookie scoops in Australia so I just used a teaspoon and got at least 16. They’re bite-sized though, definitely not ‘shop-bought’ size (I always find those too big).
So glad you enjoyed these cookies, Jenny! I used a small cookie dough scoop to portion out the cookies, so mine might have been smaller? Thanks for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It means the world to me. <3
I could not believe how delicious these cookies were. I substituted chopped peans and two flax eggs. Increased the vanilla to a tsp. The batter tasted so good, I couldn’t wait to get them in the oven. I rolled 2 tsp.of the batter into a ball in my hand and gently flattened them like you would do making hamburgers. If you put in too many chopped pecans the cookies will crumble. A+++ recipe!!!!

Thanks Brittany. These are curiously moreish and out of the fridge is a good tip! We used a choc melt on the top of each biscuit instead of the choc chips and were pretty happy with the result.
Trying it again with some chopped glace ginger. Australians don’t use these things called ‘cookie scoops’ so the shaping was a bit fiddly but I just rolled about a tablespoon of mixture into a ball and flattened it out. While I’m here, thanks for your samoas recipe – I get rave reviews for those even without the choc topping 🙂
★★★★
The taste is nice but I too had the problem of them not flattening and crumbling. This was a let down. Yes, I used the right measurements and pressed down into a cookie shape. If you need a crumble for anything else, this would taste good crumbled on something perhaps.
★★
Love these! Great to get to eat chocolate chip cookies again without guilt. Thank you!

I’ve been afraid to indulge in cookies due to their sugar content. I substituted the honey with monk fruit (sugar substitute). Cookies are light and delicate. Such perfection! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.

Yay!! Thank you for trying my recipe, Karen. I’m so glad you enjoyed these cookies. And thank you for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It’s super helpful to other readers!
I changed the recipe just a bit because I didn’t have all of the ingredients. I used butter in place of the coconut oil, xylitol instead of honey (Idissolved in a little water to make it a thicker consistency) and I replaced the chips with pecans. They were good as they were, but then I found a bar of 80% cocao in the pantry, so melted a square and added about a tsp of HWC stirred it up and drizzled across the cookie. I only made 8 out of this recipe. About the size of a package cookie. I bet these will taste even better once placed in the refrigerator. I am very pleased.
Hi!
Wanna make these but I need to know what size cookie scoop did you use?
Teaspoon, 2Teaspoon or Tablespoon?
These will make great Christmas cookies😁
Thank you in advance!!!
Hi PJ – I use a small cookie scoop, which is about 2 tsp.
My cookies stay in a ball shape never get flatter like the pictures say! They also are always so crumbly when baked. I wait until the batter is thick and sticks together great when I roll the dough into balls. What am I doin. Wrong?!
★★★
Hey Kate – I am so sorry to hear that! Did you press the dough into a cookie shape with your fingers before putting the pan into the oven? And if they are turning out crumbly that means you might have overbaked them or that they didn’t have enough liquid. How long did you leave them in the oven for and did you change anything about the recipe?
Hi, I don’t have time to read all the comments, maybe this was asked before ( I saw other substitutions) Can I use Rapeseed or Sunflower or Olive oil instead of coconut oil? Love the sound/look of these, I’m very new at the coconut thing, have both flour and sugar here at home but the coconut oil is expensive here (in England, UK) ….
Yes, you can substitute a different oil or even butter for the coconut oil. Definitely let me know what you think of these cookies if you try them!
Easy and delicious. Love that it’s gluten free and still taste good. Thank you for sharing.

Do you have any advice on how to cook these at high altitude’s about 3200 feet?
★★★★★
Hey Dana – You should be able to follow the recipe as listed. The only thing I could foresee is that you might need to bake them a tad bit longer. I’d just keep an eye on them while they’re baking!
Very easy. Very moist. Very good.

I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Billie Jo! Thanks for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. The ratings are super helpful, so I appreciate it.
I will try to make the adjustment that you said but please in grams how many grams for coconut oil and chocolate chips ?
We were craving cookies tonight, but have a lot of sensitivities that make baking difficult (and we’ve had a lot of coconut flour cookies that have flopped). My husband and I both loved these! We are adding the recipe to our cook book so we never lose it! Highly recommend!
★★★★★
Yay!! That makes me SO happy to hear, Amy. I’m glad these cookies turned out for you! And thank you so much for taking the time to come back and leave a comment and star rating. The ratings are super helpful so I appreciate it!
Soo tasty but going to add a bit more vanilla next time.
★★★★
A very nice cookie recipe that can be fiddled with! I added 2 T of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients instead of chocolate chips to get the chocolate taste without the added fat and sugar, and I tried the recipe again leaving out the vanilla and adding 2 t of grated lemon rind for a lemon cookie. Both worked well.
★★★★★
Thanks Liz. Love the two cookie variations you made. I’ll have to try the lemon version soon. Sounds amazing.
What can you substitute the honey with?
Maple syrup or Agave would be a good substitute for the honey!
So easy to make and so delicious! You have to love the texture the coconut flour gives to any recipe, this was my first try with this type of flour and thanks to your recipe it was very successful!
★★★★★
Woo-hoo! This makes me so happy, Veronica. You’ll have to try some of my other coconut flour recipes too. I LOVE this coconut flour banana bread. And thank you so much for coming back to leave a comment (and star rating) on the recipe. I so appreciate it and I know other EBF readers will too.
Thank you so much for this recipe. It still worked so well though I just used oven toaster. Happy cooking!

Yay! I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed these cookies, Heidi. Thank you for coming back to leave a comment and star rating as well. I so appreciate it!
I didn’t have enough coconut oil so I added melted pure peanut butter. And substituted chia “eggs” for the eggs and cacao nibs for the chocolate chips. This is the first time I’ve baked anything other than eggs/butter/flour/sugar/chocolate chips and wow, these are addictively good. Thank you!
★★★★★
Hi Dorothy! I’m so glad that you enjoyed this recipe with your substitutions. I’m sure the melted peanut butter was a delicious addition! Thanks for sharing and thank you for taking the time to come back and leave a comment (and star rating). Your feedback is super helpful to the EBF community!
I was craving a sweet treat and had coconut flour in pantry so I found this recipe online, made them and our household loved them! Shared the recipe with a friend who shared it with her sister too :)) it’s a keeper.

Made it for a second time. It is our new favorite. The guests went nuts for it at our party.We made a huge vat of it. We were asked who the caterer was who made it. I said “I did!” The complement goes to the creator of this post. Thank you for sharing.
★★★★★
These are not only delicious, but are so quick and easy to make. Today I made them for the second time. The only thing I changed was that I used maple syrup instead of honey. Thank you Brittany!
★★★★★
The coconut flavour captured the whole house. I added a bit coconut sugar as well. Even without vanilla extract they are so nice. My family liked the cookies so much. Thanks a lot for such an easy and perfect recipe. I’m going to make the next portion 😉😉😉

After I had lost hope in coconut flour baked goods these cookies were amazing! Super easy to make and very delicious. I also made the coconut flour banana bread and it is a new staple in our house. Thank you Brittany!
★★★★★
They are so easy to make and delicious. However I would go a little lighter on the honey. Planning in making more!!
★★★★★
Made these exactly according to the recipe and they were a big hit with my family! All 12 were gobbled up before I knew it. The coconut flour plus the honey gives them a nice sweetness without having to add any sugar. These are a great treat to have on hand!
★★★★★
Hooray! This makes me so happy Emmeline. I love that your whole family enjoyed them. And I totally agree, the coconut flour and honey add the perfect amount of sweetness to the cookies. Thank you SO much for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. It’s so helpful.
Thank you for the recipe!
Do you know if a gluten free flour blend would work well with this recipe, instead of the coconut flour?
Hi Theresa. This recipe was specifically tested with only coconut flour because I wanted to create a tasty coconut flour cookie. I haven’t tried it with a gluten-free flour blend but I would imagine you’d need more flour.
Hi,
This recipe looks great! Just quickly, I was wondering if you would recommend a fruit substitute (raspberries, blueberries, sultanas etc) for the chocolate- I am a teacher (gluten free) and so wanting to explore recipes with the children that contain fruit and vegetables.
Thanks so much
I think raisins, currants or dried cranberries would work great. I’m not sure about fresh berries because of the added moisture.
Amazing flavor, super quick to whip up and the recipe makes the perfect amount, 12! It helps with my poor self-control. Give these a try for sure.
★★★★★
I’m so glad you enjoyed the coconut flour cookies, Elisabeth. I just ate the last one of my batch last night so I need to make another batch soon! I also really appreciate you taking the time to come back and leave a comment and star rating on the recipe. This feedback is super helpful!
What can I use instead of honey ? Can I add almond milk instead? Can’t have honey.
Any other liquid sweetener would work. Do you have maple syrup?
Delicious and quick to make. I used butter and maple syrup in place of coconut oil and honey and it worked very well. Will definitely make again.
★★★★★
These are delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe! I did use butter instead of the coconut oil with white chocolate chips and pecans–they’re delicious!
★★★★★
I can hear good sound thank you so much for sharing nice post.
★★★★★
Any substitute for the honey to make these keto friendly?
You could use another no-sugar liquid sweetener like stevia or mockfruit.
Have you ever used aquafaba in place of eggs ? I’m allergic!
I haven’t ever worked with aquafaba and I know coconut flour needs eggs to help with the texture and rise of baked goods. I should test this recipe with aquafaba and see how it works. Until then, I recommend checking out my friend, Dana’s site. She works with aquafaba a ton and has has several recipes using it including these cookies: https://minimalistbaker.com/perfect-vegan-gluten-free-chocolate-chip-cookies/ 🙂
