We loved them!! Just finished making them and my picky kids almost finished eating them! Super easy and quick to make. I packed the flour and they held their shape pretty well. Used honey instead of maple syrup. Thanks!!
Yay!❤️ So glad to hear you Guys loved them.
I have made these twice following the recipe exactly, and both times the dough was the consistency of brownie batter. I added a few spoonfuls of coconut flour to thicken it and then used a spoon to portion them. They taste great nonetheless! I have been using King Arthur’s coconut flour, maybe another brand would make more of a dough. I also wonder if you pack the coconut flour when you measure it? Thanks!
Hi Rosie, the consistency of the cookies should not be runny at all and you should be able to easily scoop the cookies onto a baking sheet. I haven’t worked with King Arthur’s coconut flour so I can’t speak on that. But I’ve linked in the recipe card to the coconut flour that I always use and love. Also make sure that you’re combining everything really well.. And Yes I do always pack my coconut flour. Hope this helps and glad you’re Enjoying the cookies!😍
So far so good I added sugar substitute and 1/4 cup of water instead of maple syrup and a tsp of vanilla to this recipe. I only used 1/4 cup of chocolate chips as well since I am trying to stay low carb. It turned out pretty good coconut flour always has that kind dry taste but all in all for 5 net carbs per cookie it was a nice little treat <3 waiting for the rest to cool so I can try one while not burning my tongue haha
These look delicious! Would it be possible to use melted butter, or a neutral olive oil, for the melted coconut oil?
Thanks. I haven’t tried them with melted butter or olive oil so not sure what the end result would be. Let me know if you try it and how it turns out for you.
I tried ur recepie.. Just I replaced maple syrup with coconut sugar as my daughter wanted them to be sweet.
The cookies turned out yum.. However I suded the same amount of sugar as maple syrup and the cookies were not that sweet.
I am so trying the next batch with slightly more coconut sugar.
I followed the exact recipe but somehow my batter remained very liquid. I wonder what I am doing wrong.
Hi Nida, if you followed the recipe exactly it should not have been liquidy at all. Did you melt the coconut oil first? You could always add just a little bit more coconut flour being careful to only add a little at a time since coconut flour absorbs liquid very quickly.
Just made these for my sweet tooth fix and they are pretty good! I’m just glad that I had all of the ingredients already in my cupboard!!
Yay… Glad you Enjoyed.😀
Hello. You mention the cookies are low carb, but how many carbs do you think they contain?
Hi Cathy, I just added the nutrition information to this recipe but to answer your question approximately 9.7 g of carbs per cookie.
This is like the 3rd or fourth thing I’ve ever baked in my life. Came out really good. I put in barely any chocolate chips because I’m truing not to eat refined sugar. Came out great even still. Super easy and relatively cheap for gf. Thank you!
You’re Welcome and so glad you Enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by to let me know.😉
These look so good, going to make them. But how long do they cook for?
Thanks Latisha! Hope you Enjoy them 😀 and sorry if it wasn’t clear on baking time but you’ll want to bake them approximately 12-15 minutes.
This is great as I am always on the lookout for new cookies recipes and I loved this one.
Love that these are paleo and they look absolutely wonderful! Will definitely be trying!
Thanks Kim 😀 and yes it’s hard to believe they’re actually good for you!
Can we omit maple syrup and put stevia
I haven’t tested this recipe without the maple syrup so I can’t tell you for sure how it would turn out. You could certainly try it.. But you may have to add more liquid to make up for omitting the maple syrup since coconut flour is rather dense to bake with. Let me know if you try it and how it works out.
These are cookie heaven! They look so chocolatey and delicious!
Hmm, I haven’t tried making something like these yet. Are they cakey or chewy? They certainly look chocolately!
They’re so good Catherine! Kind of a mix between chewy & cakey, but I love the texture. And sooo chocolately that even half a cookie satisfies my chocolate cravings 😉
These chocolate cookies are calling my name! They look so good!
