Looking for a gluten free coconut flour chocolate chip cookie recipe that’s easy and comes out perfectly every time? These are my ultimate standby for when I just need a batch of perfect coconut flour chocolate chip cookies!

coconut flour chocolate chip cookie recipe

Sometimes, you just need a chocolate chip cookie.

I can’t think of many other foods, that when I want them – I WANT THEM. Now. And nothing else will do.

Have you ever had that feeling? Only to discover, as you scurry through your pantry grabbing ingredients, that you don’t have everything you need.

That’s how this recipe was born, my friends.

baking coconut flour cookies with kids

I needed a cookie. I needed it now. And I had no almond flour.

Almond flour is a major staple in the grain-free chocolate chip cookie recipe I’ve always made. Yet here I had not a stitch of almond flour in the house – just two two bags of coconut flour, sitting there taunting me. Surely something could be done about this.

So I did what anyone would. I googled coconut flour chocolate chip cookies. I made the first recipe that showed up with a tantalizing photo. And though the disappointing result placated me – kind of, for the moment – it sent me spinning on a mission to find a better coconut flour chocolate chip cookie recipe.

I tried several other recipes from blogs and cookbooks before finally deciding to just tinker on my own.

The kids had no problem helping me taste test.

It turns out that simple is really sometimes best.

These 7-ingredient coconut flour chocolate chip cookies have ousted the more complicated almond-flour recipe I’d been so devoted to. I’m really not sure I’ll ever make it again, since I like these so much better.

And since coconut flour is significantly less expensive than almond flour, these are also cheaper to make. More good chocolate. That’s how I see it.

I hope you enjoy these coconut flour chocolate chip cookies as much as we have been.

After making three batches of these in the last ten days, I finally resorted to putting them in the freezer, to help me pace myself. The kids think that’s absolutely hilarious, and frozen cookies are their new favorite thing.

Hopefully you have more self-control than I do though!

Happy baking!

    Im doing the Keto diet, I want to try these! Do they crumble?

      Hi Karla! The only way I’ve ever had them crumble was when I accidentally left a plate of them out uncovered overnight. They’re amazing and soft right out of the oven, and as long as they are stored in a tightly covered container, they stay soft and lovely. Hope this helps!!

    The allergies that we’re dealing with for this recipe are dairy and eggs. I tried just subbing flax eggs for the eggs, but that didn’t work. So this is what ended up working for me. They came out moist, but sticking together for the most part. I hope this helps someone else!

    6 Tlbs coconut oil
    4 Tlbs honey
    2/32 tsp (2 doonks) stevia
    1/2 c. coconut flour
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    3 Tlbs flax meal mixed with 5 Tlbs. hot water and gelled (egg consistency)
    1 tsp. vanilla
    3/4 c. Enjoy Life mini dark chocolate chips

      Thank you so much for the subsititutions, Ang! I subbed exactly as you said (one packet of True Leaf, since I don’t have a tub of Stevia). I also rolled the batter into about 15 balls and baked for 8mins @ 350. Then I took them out and gently pressed them flatter and baked for another 3mins. Let them cool for about 5/8mins (probably should have been longer but I was IMPATIENT!). SO DELISH!!!

    Hi! I want to try this recipe, it looks amazing! Just one question, is the butter melted?
    Thanks!

      Hi Karen, this works best if the butter is slightly soft (room temperature), but not melted. Hope you love them!

    These are so so good……I’m HOOKED!!! I saw where you freeze them. Are you freezing them after you cook them or freezing the dough? I will definitely have to freeze them to slow down because they are so delicious! ?

      First off – YAY! Super happy that you love them as much as we do! As far as freezing, I have totally done it both ways and it turns out fine. I’ve kept already baked cookies in the freezer to slow myself down from indulging (ha!) and also I’ve made a double batch of dough, and frozen one half. I just wrapped it tightly in plastic wrap, and popped it in the freezer. I let it thaw in the fridge overnight, when I was ready to bake with it, and the cookies came out just like usual. Thanks again for the sweet comments!!

    Just made these tonight but used squash flour instead – since I have so much zucchini coming out of the garden I’ve been using squash flour in recipes instead of coconut – and they were amazing!!

    Mine looked exactly like “standard” chocolate chip cookies, probably because I used a stand mixer to really incorporate the flour. So good, thanks for sharing!!

      YES! One thing I’ve discovered over the MANY times I’ve made this recipe now, is that I LOVE these cookies even more when I make them with the more strongly “coconut-y” tasting brands of coconut flours – totally takes them up a notch!

      I made these with the honey option, and I substituted the eggs with applesauce. I noticed right away that the mix was very runny because 1/4 cup applesauce = 1 egg. I added some more coconut flour to make it a better consistency. (I didn’t measure, I just sprinkled it on and stirred and saw it thickening up right away). It turned out AMAZING. These were not cookies you could pick up but use a fork to pick up. Still tasted great and kid and husband tested.

    I love these cookies, but I am doing low carb and didn’t know if you had any nutrition facts on the recipe? I get carried away with my sweets (;

      Hi Brittany! I’m so very sorry I didn’t see your comment until now. I have not run the nutrition information on this exact recipe yet, but I’ve been doing some tinkering with a very low carb version, and can tell you that if you switch swerve for the sugar/honey, and a bar of 90% dark chocolate chopped up for the chocolate chips, the net carbs per cookie are just 1.23. Hope this helps!!

    This was a great recipe! I made this batch as bars in a 9 X9 pan which yielded 16 bars.
    I’ve had trouble with coconut tasting grainy and too strong in other recipes but this one had the perfect balance of liquid and dry to make a light balanced treat.
