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.

Under your notes, you state 1 teaspoon is 15ml. This is incorrect. 1 teaspoon is 5ml, 1 tablespoon (3 tsps) is 15ml.

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

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.
