You only need 8 simple ingredients and 1 bowl to make these soft and chewy coconut flour cookies! They’re grain-free, low carb and low sugar.
I’m really excited about 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 a few with coconut flour (like this delicious coconut flour banana bread), so today I’m sharing a recipe for coconut flour cookies!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- You only need 8 ingredients and one bowl!
- These cookies are keto-friendly, grain-free, gluten-free, nut-free and low-sugar!
- They’re soft, perfectly moist and absolutely delicious.
What is Coconut Flour?
Coconut flour is made from dried, ground coconut flesh. It’s packed with healthy fats, fiber and protein. It absorbs more liquid than other flours, so cannot be swapped 1:1 with other flours.
Baking with coconut flour can be challenging and it takes some experimenting to get recipes just right because a little coconut flour goes a long way! 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.
Coconut flour 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.
It’s also a great flour option for anyone allergic to almonds or those looking for a gluten-free and grain-free flour option.
Ingredients Needed
- coconut flour – can’t have coconut flour cookies without coconut flour! I love using Bob’s Red Mill organic coconut flour, which you should be able to find in the baking aisle at most major grocery stores. I do want to make a note that different brands of coconut flour can vary in consistency and texture, but I’ve never had an issue with Bob’s Red Mill, so I highly recommend picking up a bag!
- coconut oil – melted coconut oil replaces the butter in this recipe.
- honey – the perfect natural sweetener for these cookies. The honey pairs perfectly with coconut flour.
- eggs – helps to bind the ingredients together and gives the cookies structure.
- vanilla extract – a great flavor enhancer.
- sea salt – just a pinch!
- baking soda – to help the cookies rise.
- chocolate chips – I love Lily’s chocolate chips for a low-sugar option and Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips for a dairy-free/soy-free option.
How To Make
These coconut flour chocolate chip cookies are super simple to whip up, especially since you can make the cookie dough in one bowl!
Start by mixing your wet ingredients (coconut oil, honey, eggs, and vanilla) together in a large mixing 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.
After the dough has thickened a little, fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop dough using a cookie scoop and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Press the dough down into a cookie shape with your fingers.
Bake the cookies at 350°F for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool on the pan and then transfer them to a wire rack for additional cooling. Once completely cool, it’s time to enjoy!
Substitutions & Notes
Coconut flour – I don’t recommend swapping the coconut flour for another type of wheat flour or gluten-free flour. The high amount of fiber makes coconut flour super absorbent so when using it for baking you typically can’t use it as a 1:1 sub for other flours. Try my almond flour cookies instead.
Coconut oil – You can use melted butter or any neutral oil like olive oil or avocado oil instead of coconut oil if you prefer.
Honey – Maple syrup or agave should work just fine as a substitute for honey. I wouldn’t recommend swapping the liquid sweetener for a dry sweetener like coconut sugar or brown sugar as that’ll change the consistency of these cookies.
Chocolate chips – You can skip the chocolate chips altogether if you want or swap them with another mix-in of choice like fresh blueberries, chopped nuts or dried fruit.
Vegan – I haven’t tested it, but others have made these cookies with flaxseed eggs instead of regular eggs and said they turned out perfectly! You can also swap the honey for maple syrup.
How to Store Coconut Flour Cookies
At room temp: These cookies can be stored at room temp for 2-3 days. After that, I recommend storing them in the fridge.
In the fridge: Store these cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
In the freezer: For longer storage, store these cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Since coconut flour absorbs up way more liquid than other flours it can’t be swapped 1:1 with other flours. If you’re looking for a chocolate chip cookie recipe that uses a different flour I have these almond flour chocolate chip cookies or these healthy chocolate chip cookies made with wheat flour.
Coconut flour cookies are supposed to be soft, not crispy! The texture is going to be more cake-like versus a traditional crisp cookie.

Coconut Flour Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium mixing bowl stir together the coconut oil, honey, eggs and vanilla.
- To the same bowl, add coconut flour, salt and baking soda and mix until 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.

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/ 🙂
Any substitute for the honey to make these keto friendly?
You could use another no-sugar liquid sweetener like stevia or mockfruit.
I can hear good sound thank you so much for sharing nice post.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
They are so easy to make and delicious. However I would go a little lighter on the honey. Planning in making more!!
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!
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
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!
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.
Thank you for a wonderful cookie recipe my new favorite
Hi Mary! I am so happy to hear that – thank you so much for coming back to leave a comment (and star rating). It means the world to me!
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!
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!
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!
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.
What can you substitute the honey with?
Maple syrup or Agave would be a good substitute for the honey!
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.
Soo tasty but going to add a bit more vanilla next time.
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!
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 ?
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!
Easy and delicious. Love that it’s gluten free and still taste good. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Lizzie!! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and star rating, I so appreciate it. <3
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
Love these! Great to get to eat chocolate chip cookies again without guilt. Thank you!
I’m so glad you tried and enjoyed these cookies! And thank you so much for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I so appreciate it. 🙂
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.
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 🙂
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!
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!
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 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).
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!
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.
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! 🙂
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.
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 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?
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’m glad you enjoyed this recipe, Brigitte! Thanks for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I really 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 love these cookies so much! 🍪❤️Thank you Brittany for this other excellent recipe!
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
LOVE these!!!! So perfect on texture!
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
So glad these cookies are a hit, Lesley!! Thanks for trying my recipe and for coming back to leave a comment, I really appreciate it!
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!
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!
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!!
A new favorite!!! Super easy to make and delicious. I love how dense and fluffy they are!
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!
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
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.
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
Hey Sam! You can swap in butter or another oil for the coconut oil. 🙂
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.
love these they are delicious
Just baked these cookies, they are delicious.
Thank you Will definitely baked them again
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!
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!
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!!
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. 🙂
We love these cookies. They are easy to make, satisfying and last in the fridge.
I’m so glad these cookies were a hit, Cheryl! Thanks for trying them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it!
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?
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?
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!
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!
Very good. I used butterscotch chips
Since that is all I had.
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.
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.
Forgot to leave a star rating 🙂
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!
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
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?
I loved them. My husband and son not as much! I’m recently gluten intolerant. I always eat very healthy and love a healthy cookie recipe
Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Cynthia
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!
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!
Oh wow! I’ve never made my own coconut flour. Thanks for sharing!
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!!!
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!
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
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.
These are amazing!! Perfect texture
I’m so glad you enjoyed these cookies, Emily! Thanks for trying them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I really appreciate it. <3
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!
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!
These were great! So easy and delish with a light texture. I added walnuts 😋
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!
Easy to make and TASTY! Thank you for sharing.
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!
Ahh yay!! I’m so glad you’re loving these cookies, Elizabeth. Thanks so much for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it!

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?
These cookies are so easy and yummy! I swapped the honey with maple syrup and all the family loved them! Will do another batch 🙂
Ahh yay!! So glad these cookies were a hit. Thanks for trying them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating, Marlene. I appreciate it. <3
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 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!
Delicious GF cookies!
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!
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. 🙂
I made the pancakes yesterday, today I am going to make the cookies. In love with all recipes! Thank you for your amazing work!
Oh yay! I hope you enjoy the cookies. How did you like the coconut flour pancakes?
Love this recipe! I used maple syrup instead of honey and it was great! I am such a big fan of yours! Love your Instagram and your recipes ❤️
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!
Absolutely delicious 🙌
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.
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
Fay W.
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! 🙂
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.
What an easy recipe! I was not aware it was going to be this spongy but yummy none the less!! Super impressed!!!! Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed these cookies, Marissa!! Thanks for trying them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I 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. 🙂
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!
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 added pecans and carob chips.
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. 🙂
Just made these and they are in instant hit in my family!! Toddler, husband and parents! Super easy to make as well! Thank you!
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. 🙂
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!
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.
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
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe.
You’re so welcome, Selen! I’m so glad you enjoyed 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.
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. 🙂
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. 🙂
DELICIOUS!! I used 1/3 cup Swerve instead of honey and used sugar free chocolate chips. Loved the coconut flavor.
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!
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. 🙂
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!
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. 🙂
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!
Can I freeze the dough & bake them whenever I feel like it?
I haven’t tried it, but don’t see why not!
Thanks!!
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
These look awesome,I’m about to make them.It’s nice to find all of these recipes that use coconut flour, along with how to effectively bake with it.If you’ve suffered from kidney stones, you realize a low oxalate diet is best.Coconut flour is the lowest oxalate flour.Which is a godsend.
I’m going to be honest… I loved this cookies! I mean in my opinion they are super soft and sweet and they are just so perfect! I cooked them today because i just needed a dessert and this was what calmed my hunger. I recommend this recipe so much because this is the best healthy way to eat something sweet. Excellent Brittany!
Yay!! I’m so pumped you loved these cookies, Antonella! Thanks so much for making them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I appreciate it. 🙂
sooo good
I’m trying the recipe the second time but the mix is not thickening up as you suggested. Should I add more coconut flour to arrive at the consistency I see in your video?
Did you change anything about the recipe?
I was going to try this recipe but I was wondering if you could store them in the freezer since I only eat a little at a time
Yes, these should last a few months if stored in the freezer. 🙂
I followed these instructions but they turned out pasty and a little gritty can anyone tell me why
Hey Jayda – So sorry to hear that. Did you change anything about the recipe? What kind of coconut flour did you use?
Hello, DO NOT UNDER AN CIRCUMSTANCES REFRIDERAGE YOUR DOUGH. I had a really cool project in which I was going to make 200 cookies for thanksgiving and hand them out and I came across some free coconut flour and I made this recipe twice once with 12 and I second time with 24 and it was great and they were ver delicious after I took the recipe and multiplied it by 14 to make 168 cookies I put the dough in the fridge for about 8 hours then put in 48 cookies on my 2 24 cookie sheets and they do not work I predict it is because of the coconut oil hardening anyway lesson learned DO NOT REFRIGERATE!
Oh no!! So sorry to hear that, Brody!! Was the dough just super hard once you took it out of the fridge? I would imagine it would soften up a bit after letting it thaw before placing it on the pan, no?
This is the easiest cookie recipe I have ever made. Very quick and delicious.
I made one modification to the ingredients. I replaced the coconut oil with melted real butter (In “every” recipe I replace any oil with butter).
The cookies baked beautifully! Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Woo!! So glad these cookies were a hit! Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it. 🙂
I was looking for a simple cookie recipe with coconut flour that tastes good and this is the one. My whole family loves it. I might double the batch next time. Thank you
Yay!! This makes me so happy to hear. I’m so glad these cookies were a hit with your family. Thank you for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. I really appreciate it!
This cookie is so soft and delicious. Wonderful snack for the kiddos. I didn’t have any honey so I used homemade date syrup instead and it was just perfect. My family loved them. Thank you for the recipes!
Yay! So glad this recipe was a hit, Brenda! Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
These have really great sweet flavour but the texture is kind of weird – I think it’s the coconut flour! Maybe a bit of icing would be nice on them to contrast the grainy texture? Nice dipped in a cup of tea as they don’t leave bits at the bottom of the cup! 🙂
I made it last night…they were good but they were a bit soft.it wasn’t crunchy..can you suggest what to do?..what else can we add instead of honey and sugar?
Hi Afshan. These coconut flour cookies are actually meant to be soft and don’t crisp up the way some cookies do.
Hello!
Can I use chia seeds as an egg replacement for this recipe?
Thanks
Hey Carla – Some people have used flax eggs and said it worked well so I would imagine chia eggs would work too. Let me know how the cookies turn out for you if you end up trying them!
Hello, made these cookies and came out lovely, kids enjoyed it..Also made pancakes n brownies too. looking forward to using more coconut flour in my baking.
Oh yay!! I’m so glad you’re loving the recipes. Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
Can you same amount of butter instead of coconut oil
Thanks
I haven’t tested it but I think that should be fine!
I had to tweak the recipe, didn’t have coconut oil. I used olive oil, Splenda instead of honey, and no chocolate chips. And then put little bit of natural peanut butter in, It was very good.thank you for the recipe. the kids loved them, my husband did also. He is diabetic that’s why I switched cpl ingredients.
I’m glad this recipe turned out for you, Tina!! Thanks for sharing the subs you made. I so appreciate it!
Followed directions but had loads of trouble shaping them so they sure didn’t look like yours did. Chips would not stick to the dough. They tasted good though. What did I do wrong?
Oh no!! Sorry to hear that, Peggy. Did you change anything about the recipe?
Very easy and very tasty recipe. My whole family enjoyed it.
So glad this recipe was a hit with your fam, JP! Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
Have just made your coconut flour cookies; I like that they are light and not too sweet. Most pleasant to eat; quick and simple to make, following your straightforward instructions. I used golden syrup and melted salted butter rather than honey and coconut oil as there weren’t any in the cupboard. As butter is salted, no salt was added. Apologies for tinkering with your recipe.
No worries! I’m glad these cookies still turned out for you. Thanks for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
these were very easy to make, i had all the ingredients at home. smelled so good when it was baking. took a picture and wanted to show you but i don’t have Instagram. thank you for this recipe, will be my go-to when i have coconut flour.
mahalo!
So glad you loved this recipe! Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it, Lois.
Thanks so much for this recipe! They were lovely but I think my coconut flour was too dry. They were quite dry so I’m going to try them again with more coconut oil or try butter. Also I like the idea of adding some peanut butter. But really simple and light. Thank you!
I’m glad you enjoyed these! Your coconut flour could have been dry or maybe the cookies baked for a tad bit too long? Either way I bet a splash of milk or extra liquid would help next time!
I followed this recipe to the T but I could not form cookies and the chocolate chips just fell away from the dough. Ended up making one giant sheet cookie to salvage the ingredients.
So sorry these cookies didn’t turn out for you, Mike. Did the dough seem dry to you?
I want to make these cookies for a diabetic friend, can I substitute cocosugar or sugar substitute for the honey?
Yes, that should be fine Charles. Let me know how they turn out 🙂
I purchased some coconut flour on a whim and didn’t know what to make with it and found this recipe. These were such a hit with the whole family!! Will definatly make again! Great recipe!
Woo! That makes me so happy to hear, Lori. Thanks for making these cookies and coming back to leave a review. It means the world to me.
Just made these looking for something interesting to do with lots of coconut oil and flour I found clearing out cupboard. Really soft and tasty, quite moreish and fast, so I shall be adding these to my low carb snack attack list.
followed the recipe to the letter as I want to lower the wheat content of my diet and they looked so yummy .However when I eagerly bit into one it was so claggy I could hardly swallow it .and it tasted so delicious.I expected it to melt like viennese biscuits.Did I need more baking powder
Hey Anne, Sorry to hear that. Was the cookie too soft? Did you let it cool after baking?
I loved this recipe, modified them
With monk fruit instead of the honey and I also used a bit of almond flour to give them a bit more texture they come out to 3 carbs and 1 net carb in total
So glad you enjoyed these cookies, Jey! Thanks for tying them and for the review. I so appreciate it!
I don’t know what I did wrong
Followed recipe. Don’t have much luck with gluten free biscuits.
Hey Lesley – What went wrong with the pancakes?
Thank you so much for this recipe. I’ve been trying a few coconut flour based recipe but wasn’t satisfied. like this one!
So glad you enjoyed these coconut flour cookies, Marlene! Thanks so much for the review 🙂
Hi! Recipe says 1/2 cup 60gram coconut flour. Is it 1/2 cup or 60gram?
Hi Sheau. Great question. It’s 1/2 cup or 60 grams.
HI! Iwould love to try this recipe, but in my country ia reaallly hard to find coconut oil, do you recomend other substitute?
I would apreciate a lot your opinion and help 😀
You can use butter or another oil like olive oil or canola oil 🙂
Could you store these in a freezer?
Yes! They should store well in the freezer for up to 3 months!
I just tried making these cookies and although they were so yummy. It was a bit on the drier side. I would love to try making it again. Any recommendations on how to get it a bit more moist? Thank you in advance!!
Sorry to hear that! Did you change anything about the recipe? If your dough seems dry you could try adding another splash of liquid to moisten the dough.
Hi there! Love this recipe! I was wondering If i could add protein powder? If so how much and should I add more liquid too? I would appreciate a lot your opinion and help. Thank you xx
Hey Laia – I’m not sure as I haven’t tried it! Coconut flour already soaks up a lot of liquid so if you added protein powder you’d need to likely add more liquid but I’m not sure how much. The protein powder also might change the consistency of the cookies. Maybe start with 1 scoop of protein powder and 1-2 more Tablespoons of liquid? Let me know if you try it!!
Made these this morning. Delicious.Already started on a second batch.
Yay!! Happy to hear you enjoyed these cookies, Julie. Thanks so much for the review and star rating!
I was able to use keto sweeteners and this turned out really good. The texture is still tender and light.
Happy to hear these coconut flour cookies were a success even with the keto sweeteners, Natalie! Thanks for the review!!
Made these delicious cookies yesterday and added strawberry jam in the center and they came out amazing! I’m pregnant so the batch was gone by the end of the day… OOPS! Are these cookies able to be turned into a muffin? Xoxo
Ohhh love the idea of adding strawberry jam to the center! Sounds delicious. 🙂 So glad you loved these cookies, Zyra. Thanks for the review. I appreciate it! I’m not sure if I would take this recipe and turn it into muffins, but I do have a coconut flour muffin recipe coming in March. I’m testing it currently so be on the lookout for that!
These taste great, but crumble apart when you try to eat them. I followed recipe to a T.
Oh no, I’m sorry to hear this recipe didn’t work out for you, Jess. Did the dough seem dry? You could try adding a little more liquid next time.
Hiya, is it possible to switch out the egg for a vegan alternative in this recipe? Thanks!
Hi, Liz. I haven’t tested it but I think that should be fine! Let me know how they turn out if you try it.
Whole family loves these. Sometimes I add a lot of extra water or egg whites. Also chia seeds, coconut flakes, nuts, dates are good.
Yay! Glad these cookies are a hit with your family, Joan! Thanks for sharing your additions and coming back to leave a review, I really appreciate it.
Hi. Baking soda or baking powder?
Hi, Penny. You’ll need 1/4 teaspoon baking soda!
Made these cookies they are my favorite.
Hi, Rose! I’m glad these cookies are your favorite! Thank you so much for leaving a review, I really appreciate it.
I’m new to coconut flour but have developed a killer muffin recipe, so I decided to move on to cookies.
Your recipe was pretty good. I exchanged date syrup for honey because honey should never be heated, it’s not only harmful to consume, but also kills any value it would otherwise have. Also, date syrup is much lower on the glycemic scale. However, it makes for a darker cookie.
The dough was difficult to handle. I ended up smooshing it into little balls in my hand and baking them that way. They were yummy, but after they cooled they were way too dry — we needed water! So next time I will add another egg for a binder and maybe some liquid. The recipe was a good place to begin and the taste was delicious. Thanks for helping me enjoy a treat. After going grain free and sugar-free I haven’t had a cookie in a long time.
Hi, Diane! Thank you so much for sharing the swaps and changes you made. I’m glad this was a good starting point for you! 🙂
switching date syrup fit honey may have made the cookies more dense or dry out.
Thanks for sharing how they turned out for you!
I made these but substituted coconut flakes instead of chocolate. They browned up nicely but remained quite soft. I cooked them a little longer but the texture remained like an almond joy without the chocolate. I thought perhaps I should add more coconut flour next time?
Thanks for the recipe! I’m am looking to eat more like a bird.
Cheers. Robert
Hi, Robert. Did you change anything else about the recipe? They should remain soft but not too soft. I’m glad you enjoyed them otherwise!
Not bad, but they’re kind of bland. The only thing I changed about the recipe was that I added cinnamon, which if anything gave them more flavor than they would otherwise have.
The texture is okay, they do stay soft, but not to soft.
What I liked the most is how easy to make these are!
Overall, they’re just okay. Would probably make again, but with my own adjustments. Pretty good bade to start with.
Thanks for sharing your review, Melissa! Cinnamon is a great idea 🙂
I made these today, doubled the recipe to the T, and the cookies turned out very flat. I am wondering what I did wrong, I followed all the instructions!
What turned out was delicious though! : )
Oh no! So sorry to hear that these cookies didn’t turn out for you, Nate. My only thought would be that maybe your baking soda was old or expired? That would probably cause the cookies to be flat.
Almost inedible. Sandy and dry. Threw out the batch and all the dough
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear this recipe did not turn out for you, Angela. Did you change anything about the recipe?
im doing gaps diet and was really craving a dessert. found coconut flour in the pantry and made this recipe. i doubled the recipe but not the eggs thinking it was too much. it definitely needed the extra eggs!! they were dry and crumbly but have very good flavor! pleasantly surprised, and they satisfied my craving so I’m thankful. next time gonna use the right amount of eggs and add homemade gaps friendly chocolatechips
Yay! I am so glad that these cookies satisfied your craving, without the guilt. Thank you so much for sharing your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
Is there a substitute for coconut oil
Hi Arlene – 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!
My husband and I try to maintain a low carb, low sugar, gluten free diet! My husband works away for 2 weeks at a time so I times the recipe by 6 and make a huge batch of cookies for him to take to work! I have always struggled with coconut flour recipes (usually too dry) but your tip from youtube to let the flour really soak up the wet ingredients was a godsend! I use to think the batter was too wet and would add more flour! These cookies are an absolute staple in our house and I would not be making 30+ at a time if they were not so simple! Love!
Ah this is the best! I am so glad to hear that you and your husband are loving this recipe and they are a hit. Thank you so much for coming back and sharing your review & star rating, I appreciate it!
So good and so quick to whip up! Instead of chocolate chips I used coconut flakes, chopped almonds and raisins, and they tasted great!
Excellent! I am so excited to hear that you are loving this cookies and that they turned out great for you, Haleigh. Thank you for sharing your review & star rating, it means so much to me!
can I sub flax eggs for eggs ?
Hi Ju – I haven’t tested these with flax eggs, but another follower did test them with chia eggs and they said it turned out great. Let me know what you try and how they turn out. Hope you enjoy!
Thank you! Perfect for my husband and me. I have Celiac and he has type 2 diabetes ❤️
OMG, so excited to try these out! Thank you SO much Mrs. Brittany for coming up with these great ideas!
Do you have a suggestion for a high altitude adjustment?
Thanks!
Hi Monique – Unfortunately I do not, I haven’t made these at a higher altitude so I cannot be sure. Do you typically make adjustments for other baked goods?
Hi there,
I have just tried this recipe, however, the cookies turned out too soft and the baking time was way much longer, over 30 minutes!
I used the 2x recipe and swapped the 4 eggs with half-smashed banana + 2 teaspoons of caramelized applesauce + a scoop of yoghurt + some chia seeds + a slash of oat milk- these should have made the dough quite hard, but it was very soft instead.
Any advise?
Thanks,
Simona
Hi Simona – Unfortunately, you almost completely changed the recipe, so that is most likely why they did not turn out for you. Banana and applesauce cannot typically be swapped out for eggs without other adaptations to the recipe. If you need to make these vegan, you can always try to swap the eggs for flax eggs. I hope you give this one another try following the recipe.
I am not a baker, but I have made your recipe for the blueberry muffins with coconut flour and they were delicious. So I thought I’d try these cookies. Since I made the muffins I was familiar with the batter seeming liquidy. My problem was the batter was too dry. I followed the recipe exactly. Any suggestions because I would like to make them again.
Hello, Brittany!
Just made your delicious cookies yesterday: easy, tasty, quick! Thank you so much for the recipe, it’s a great one!
Hi Anna – I am so glad you gave these a try and they turned out amazing for you. Thank you for your review & star rating, I really appreciate it!
It would be great to have a list of how much ingredients to use. I think I messed mine up as the cookies wouldn’t bind together and just crumbled.
Hi Jo. The full recipe is on the recipe card at the bottom of the page, above where you just left a comment. Hope that helps!
