Coconut Flour Cut Out Cookies

With the holiday season in full swing, my girls keep asking me for cut out cookies.  So this past weekend I set out to make some delicious, yet healthy, cut out cookies.  These cookies turned out so great!  It is important to note that you need to chill the dough so that it doesn’t stick.  Also feel free to play around with this recipe a bit.  In one batch, I used 1 cup of raw honey and in the next batch I did a combination of organic cane sugar and raw honey.  Both tasted really great.  For sprinkles or colored sugar, you can either make your own (see red sprinkles in this post) or check your local health food store for some organic sprinkles that are colored from vegetables and not dyes.  You could also frost these cookies if desired.  I made a frosting out of greek yogurt, cream cheese, raw honey and a little vanilla.  Add some food coloring (made out of vegetable, not dye) and you will have a wonderful icing to decorate your cookies with.  I hope you all enjoy these cookies, we sure did!

Mine were far to wet as well - I just continued to add coconut flour until they turned into the type of consistency that could be shaped into a ball without sticking all over my hands and they turned out just fine! Quite a bit more coconut flavour than I'm used to but the person I'm sending them to is a HUGE coconut lover so it's all good.

The ingredients say baking soda but the directions say baking powder which one is correct?

 @kayleeh Baking powder.  I will make the change, sorry about that.

Hi, Halle!  I was so excited to try this recipe as I discovered your site last wk and have been making dozens of the sprouted flour choc chip cookies (which are super delish, by the way).  I also had the same problem as the previous lady with the dough being too moist.  Now, granted I put in a bit too much honey, but even after 2 hrs in the fridge and at least a 1/2 hr in the freezer it was still quite soft.  When I tried to roll it out it stuck all over the rolling pin and when we tried to cut out shapes it stuck to the parchment and the cookie cutter and I couldn't get it off the parchment at all.  So I made some drop cookies and they turned out pretty dry and mealy.  Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?  s

Coconut flour is very tricky to work with.  It depends who makes it sometimes.  I used tropical traditions coconut flour, but am going to start measuring it on the scale rather then measuring in a cup.  I think this might clear up the problem of coconut flour working or not.  I will make this again, and get back to you with the weight by grams.  I am glad the sprouted chocolate chip cookies worked nicely :)

The blend has white rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, organic coconut flour and sweet rice flour. It says on the package it "offers a unique 'tangy' sweet taste"...its BITTER...will be tossin' it out, for sure!!

@montanabby OMG, I am laughing so hard LOL, thanks for the laugh :) A coconut flour "blend" would not work for this, you would most likely need to add more flour. Out of curiosity what is the coconut flour blended with? Coconut flour is very absorbent and there are a lot of liquid ingredients in this recipe, so you would either have to reduce some of the liquids or increase the amount of the blended flour you used.

I tried this recipe...used a coconut blend flour mix. I was too moist to roll into a ball. Tried it as dropped cookies, and when in the oven, dough spread all over the pan. What did I do wrong???
