Ingredients

  • 2-3 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/4 tsp unrefined sea salt
  • 2 tbsp steviva blend or raw honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (cooled)
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened finely shredded coconut flakes
  • 1/4 cup “Enjoy Life” mini chocolate chips (click on for details on where to buy them) , or your own high quality semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Combine 2 tbsp of coconut flour, salt, steviva blend, baking soda, shredded coconut in a large bowl and stir well.
  4. In a smaller bowl melt coconut oil and allow to cool.
  5. Add eggs to cooled coconut oil and mix well with a whisk.
  6. Combine your dry and wet ingredients and mix together until there are no more lumps.
  7. Let the dough sit out for  a few minutes, the dough will thicken as it sits out.  If the dough is not the consistency of a traditional chocolate chip cookie dough (fairly stiff), then add a little more coconut flour until you get the desired consistency.
  8. Mix in chocolate chips.
  9. Scoop rounded spoonfuls onto the baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 12-14 minutes.

Hey, the bar looked great and tasted delicious so no problem. I did measure pretty accurately, but next time I might add a little more coconut flour if the dough looks the same as it did last night. They were pretty darn good though. Great recipe!

coconut flour is a very tricky flour to use. If you don't measure exact, you can throw the whole recipe off! I little to much coconut oil will change this recipe as well as to little of coconut flour. Really pay close attention to your measurements. Also, put you cookies in the oven for 1 minute. If they start to spread real thin, then scoop the batter back into your bowl and add a little more coconut flour. Also if your eggs are huge this might also alter the recipe too.

ok but you know . the dough without the choc chips and with the extra egg would make a great upside down cake for peaches .. hey i might get the hang of this baking stuff

Ok, I made these last night and they also turned into one big cookie. But they cut up into perfect cookie bars and were DELICIOUS!

i did use 3 tbsp coconut flour yes i just realized when i was talking to my egg lady that my eggs are huge way larger than what is graded as "large" in the store..lol the ones i made at my friends house turned out like yours but we used 4 tbsp of flour now everyone said my "bars" were great lol

There you go! You are getting a feel of what the dough should feel and look like, so if you are using a huge egg, try using 1 and see if that works or go ahead and use 2 and add some more flour ;)

somewhere your measurements are off. If they are running flat, then they don't have enough coconut flour. Are your eggs Huge? Try adding a little more coconut flour.

ok so . the cookie that turned into a whole pan i cut up in bars . very similar to blonde brownies so there i now have 2 variations on the cookie.. also i was thinking a quarter cup of chopped macadamias in the cocoa version baked round three today then still ran out flat not like yours i even put an extra tbsp of coconut flour .. any ideas?

Thanks Catherine! I can't wait to try them with some cocoa powder too. Did you use about 4 tbsp of cane sugar?

That looks so yummy but I have a few questions:
1) Can I use almond flour instead of coconut flour ?? If yes, are there any change in quantities??
2) Can I use raw honey in place of steviva blend?? And do I add it to the wet ingredients instead of the dry??

Thanks a whooole lot !! And you're such a great photographer :)

Hey Mariam,
I am sure you could use almond flour but I am not sure of the amount. Just add enough almond flour to give it a cookie dough consistency. Yes you can use raw honey in place of steviva blend, I would use a little more though. Taste the batter, if it taste sweet enough then just go with that amount. Honey you would add to the wet ingredients. Let me know how they turn out :)
