Coconut Flour Cookies
Description
This recipe for Coconut Flour Cookies combines coconut flour and melted coconut oil with honey and eggs to form a dough that is slightly loose initially but firms as the coconut flour absorbs the liquid. Vanilla extract adds subtle flavor while sea salt and baking soda contribute to the texture and taste. The dough is mixed thoroughly, then stirred in with chocolate chips for added sweetness and texture contrast.
The cookies are shaped by scooping and pressing the dough into rounds on a lined baking sheet. Baking at 350°F develops golden brown edges and a crisp bottom while keeping the center tender. Cooling on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack helps maintain the cookies' structure. Storing them in an airtight container preserves their texture, and refrigeration extends their shelf life up to a week, with some preferring chilled cookies for firmer texture and enhanced flavor.
These cookies offer a simple, flour alternative treat with natural sweetness from honey and smoothness from coconut oil. They work well as a casual dessert or snack when craving a mildly sweet, chewy cookie with a lightly nutty undertone present in the coconut flour.
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 large egg
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt 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.
