Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 12 minutes mins
Total Time 22 minutes mins
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup raw honey or natural sweetener of your choice
  • 4 omega 3 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 3/4 cup of Enjoy Life chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 (That's degrees Fahrenheit with the oven set to bake for you non kitchen people haha)
  • In a large bowl, combine coconut oil, raw honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and sea salt. (To make your life easier, in a small bowl on the side, combine the raw honey and coconut oil and melt in the microwave before mixing it in)
  • Add in your coconut flour.
  • Stir in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips.
  • On parchment lined baking sheets, drop heaping tablespoons of cookie batter.(Ensure you form them to look like the cookies you want for a final product as these do not rise or spread like conventional cookies, which also means you can place more on a baking sheet without worrying about them touching)
  • Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack and then enjoy with a nice cup of coconut milk.

    These taste really good but even though the dough looked just like regular cookie dough they don’t hold together at all. I am getting discouraged trying to find good Paleo baking recipes. I have tried many different things and none has benn something I would make again. And its usually because it falls apart.

    However, I melted the honey and the coconut oil in a bowl filled with hot water. I don’t think it’s healthy to use the microwave :-)

    love these cookies. My kiddos really wanted those prepackaged cookies and I am transitioning them to the paleo lifestyle. So I said lets make some together at home that are a lot healthier for us. Anywho we all loved them, I really wanted more but one is filling and satisfies the sweetooth well! so I had another couple hours later…Thanks for the great recipe

    These are the BEST cookies I’ve found that use coconut flour. Most suck the moisture right out of you. They stirred up quickly, which is a plus. I used sucanat instead of a liquid sweetener like honey or maple syrup. They were ALMOST too sweet. Perfect for an after dinner sweet treat.

    Hello! Thanks for the recipe- the first 9 are in the oven now. Something went oddly though because my batter was very thin, not cookie batter like but more like pancake batter. So- I added (twice) a half cup of ground rolled oats (so twice half a cup to equal a full cup). The batter was then more stable but was still a loose chunky. I live in Holland- who knows- maybe being at sea level matters..?

      The flour being coconut flour is probably important. I don’t know if you did or how much you used. Coconut flour is very absorbent and usually soaks the liquid up like instant mashed potatoes. :) I also misread this and used three eggs instead of four. There needs to be a dash in there or something to clarify.

    We have tried to make these twice and both times the batter looks to have split. We tried baking the second batch to see and the top half looked great but underneath it was more the texture of an omlette. Any ideas?
    We have made loads of your recipes and they have all turned out fantastic. Hope you can help as these look fantastic.

      Neil I have never heard of that, this recipe is made all the time with the utmost success. Unless I watched you I am clueless, unless you aren’t using raw organic honey and it is too liquidy. The other possibility that is if you heat any of your ingredients that they are cooking the eggs before you bake them

    I have been doing Paleo for 2 weeks now, and was seriously craving some sweets.
    This did a great job of getting me thru my cravings!! I cooked just a little to long, but they turned out great. Thanks for sharing!!

    There's no note on when to add the coconut flour…I'm assuming with the liquid ingredients? Then the coconut and chocolate chips?
