Chocolate Coconut Flour Cookies (Gluten Free)
These Chocolate Coconut Flour Cookies are a guilt-free treat loaded with chocolate and a treat for chocolate lovers. They are gluten-free, low carb, paleo and has no white sugar.
They are very easy to make and can be done in flat 20 minutes from start to finish. A fuss-free Chocolate cookie, where you can just mix everything in a bowl and just bake.
I am getting hooked on baking with coconut flour. With my earlier successful bake on Coconut Flour Orange poppy seeds muffins (Gluten Free) , I am experimenting this flour more and more. I have already made a few bread and cake with this and slowly I would be posting them.
Baking with Coconut Flour
What I love is that so little flour and you can make a big batch with little flour. It literally absorbs all the liquid it gets from the different ingredients a recipe uses. The egg is one of the main ingredients used with coconut flour as it needs binding and the egg supports it. I am yet to look at the no egg sources for this and experiment with it. Till then I am happy using eggs and a lot of eggs, as my son does not like to eat eggs and this is a good way to feed him 😁😁.

Chocolate Coconut Flour Cookies
These Chocolate Coconut Flour Cookies have that soft and chewy melt in the mouth texture. These are not the crispy cookies if you are looking for one and to be honest, traditionally cookies do have a soft texture. These cookies have a fudgier texture.
They go well with a cup of milk or coffee. A perfect evening snack for your kids or for your sweet cravings. If you have a tea party, go for these delicious gluten free Chocolate Coconut Flour Cookies and I am sure you would be the star of the party.
I have adapted this recipe from here.

We are gluten-free at my house so I always appreciate a good gluten-free cookie to add to my stack of options. This one looks spectacularly chocolaty so I think it would easily win out when faced with what sweet treat to make! YUM!
Thank You. Yes they were delicious
Is this a fudge? I love it so much that it's a lot of chocolates and healthy too. Is there any oaartivulalr brand of unsweetened cocoa? The last I got was actually sweetened and I felt guilty because of the calories
Thank You. I am not sure of Oaartivulalr brand, but I suggest you can use Organic Raw Cocoa powder, if that is okay with you
I’m a huge chocolate lover. These cookies look amazing. It’s awesome that they are lower in carbs too!
Thank You

You know, I've never tried to make gluten free cookies before. I think this is the recipe I should start with!!
Katie xoxo
Sure do, Thank You
That looks absolutely delicious, I need to get me some coconut flour!
Thank You
I love guilt-free cookies - I can eat a lot of them. But not all recipes are this good - I can't wait to try yours!
Thank You
Delicious cookies that I am soooo ready to make a lot of! I would rather make it one week ahead because even so I can save them for two days max. Yum!
Thank You
Great post.
Thank You
Prep was simple. I had to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit... No biggy. (350 btw). Cookies are like brownie bites. Great flavor and consitency. Makes about 2 dozen bite sized yummies. I will likely double next time. Enjoy!
Thank You for your feedback. Yes as mentioned it will not come out hard but soft type cookies. Yes I have started writing both C and F temperatures lately. I am so glad you liked it.
When I tried to mix everything, and waited for 4mins for it to absorb, the dough still looks too liquid in form 🙁 waited for another 4mins still the same ☹
Generally coconut flour absorbs a lot. I would say go ahead with the bake and next time try changing the brand of the flour.
Used honey. When measuring the coconut oil i used it room melted and didn't heat up. Did everything else as directed. Cookies turned out great. Not overly sweet and ideal for a healthier dessert when need something to cover up your sweet tooth without feeling guilty
Heating is required to just melt it. As I am in a cold country, It gets solidified. Nice to know that you liked it. Thank You for the feedback.
I don't usually write comment, but this one so easy and so delicious. Looking for this kind of recipes for my diet. Thank you.
I hope you like it. Thank You
It had become great to see a blog like this that I actually were required to develop my recipe website.
Excellent cookies! Though i baked mine in the form of a cake as the batter seemed wet. We loved it! Thanks again
Glad you liked it. Did you leave the mixture for 4-5 mins to absorb the liquid, as coconut flour absorbs liquid. If yes, maybe next time you can reduce the oil and egg a bit, as sometimes different brand flour have different absorption capacities.
These are delicious! I rarely follow recipes exactly,but I did this time except for the chocolate chips (because I didn't have any). All 10 of us loved them.
Thank You for your feedback. Glad you liked it
These cookies are excellent! So quick to make and absolutely guilt free. I used my silicone hello kitty molds for these cookies and they came out perfectly. As stated, it is more similar to a brownie than a cookie...yummy nonetheless. So thankful for this recipe, cheers to more batches <3
Thank You so much for your feedback. I am glad you liked it.
My grandchildren loved them. They do seem soft even after cooling at the temperature of 160. Is this right? Or should I raise the temp?
Please use the temperature of 180 C as mentioned. This cookies are a bit on the softer side , they will not be hard. I am so glad that your grandchildren loved them
Can you provide the nutritional information on these, please?
I currently do not provide that. You can add the ingredients in any nutritional calculator available online and check it please. Thanks
Lovely! i made these adjustments for my own dietary needs and preferences:
- instead of 2 eggs: 4 quail eggs, 1 TBSP chia seeds, and 3 TBSP water
-instead of 1/4 cup maple syrup: 1/8 cup maple syrup and 1/8 cup water
-instead of cocoa powder: cacao powder same amount
-instead of baking soda: 1.5 tsp aluminum free baking powder
-added 1/4 cup gluten free organic quick oats
cooked at 355 F for 18 minutes and they are lovely! the chocolate chunks make each bite extra satisfying. love that each cookie is appx 3.75 carbs
That is nice to know. Thank you for trying
Did I miss how many cookies this recipe makes????
Thank You for pointing it out. Earlier I was not adding it so missed adding it. Updated the recipe
Made these tonight and they are amazing! Didn’t have dark chocolate chips, just used semi sweet morsels. Great flavor.
Thank You so much for your feedback. Would appreciate it if you even rate the recipe next time you try any other, it helps others and my blog. Thanks a million
I’ve been trying out coconut flour recipes and this has been my favorite! I kinda wish it had a more gooey texture, is that because it’s gluten free?
Really is delicious! Great job and thanks for sharing
Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated. Yes due to the flour. I am working on a gooey texture. If you want you can check this Ragi Brownies, again not very gooey, but it taste good.
Can these cookies be frozen?
I have not done that yet so not sure.
Can I add banana to it? If yes, what changes need to be done in the ingredients and / or recipe?
Banana in replacement of Sugar? You can try with equal quantity of mashed bananas for sweetener. I have not tried this, so it would be an experiment for you. Letting you know before hand.
Lotgle too oily for me. Made them again and substituted oil for applesauce 1/3c. Turned out super moist and yummy!
Also decreased maple syrup to 2 tbsp
Great recipe! Thank you!
What a wonderful recipe!! Because I cut down the sugar, I used some date syrup and stevia instead of the maple syrup. It was a guess, but with all the chocolate I needed a bit more. Also, I added another egg... 3 small eggs rather than 2 large and it was just the extra moisture needed. The second time I made them I added in a handful of shredded coconut to accent the virgin coconut oil flavor. Chocolate and coconut = YUM! Thanks so much for a great recipe.
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback. Glad you made your modifications and enjoyed the cookies.
Hi Renu. I was wondering if these can be made with flax eggs rather than eggs. Trying to eat vegan foods as much as possible.
Meena.
Hi Meena, I think it should work. You would need to give it a try. The eggs helps in binding the flour and I think even flax eggs would do the trick. Thanks, Renu
Do you have any nutrition information available for these cookies? Carb count? Calories?
Unfortunately I do not give that as of now, but you can put that in an free nutrition calculator and get that information.
Under your notes, you state 1 teaspoon is 15ml. This is incorrect. 1 teaspoon is 5ml, 1 tablespoon (3 tsps) is 15ml.
Thank you for pointing it out. It was an oversight from my end. I have updated it.
Tried the recipe and added cardamom and cloves and it was perfect!
Glad you liked it.
These are amazing! I added 1/4 cup shredded coconut. Thank you for the recipe!
Thank you for your feedback.
Is this recipe at the right temperature?? My cooking isn't going so well.
Yes it is. It is 180 Deg C - 356 Deg F. I hope you read that it was Celcius.
do i need to sift the coconut flour, and if so before i put it in the measuring cup or after?
If your coconut flour is lumpy it is a good idea to sift it else it is not required. When you sift if there is too much of discard, it is best to measure after
Do you think I could use mashed banana instead of honey/syrup for a sweetener?
You would need to give it a try, but the banana needs to be very ripe, like gooey texture.
Can I replace the honey with white sugar? I cant find a good recipe for gluten free desserts that doesn't use honey or maple syrup. I have celiac disease so I cant eat gluten, but I don't like alternative sweeteners.
Hi, Yes I think it will work. Honey or maple syrup will give it a little extra liquid. If you find the batter too thick, I would suggest adding 1 more egg, or add 1/4 cup milk or water. I am telling you this adjustments with my gut feeling that it will work. But let me tell you that I have not tried. I will try to do this soon if possible, until then if you try, please reply me here so that it helps others too. Also do not forget to rate the recipe. Thank You, Renu
