I am getting hooked to 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 breads and cake with this and slowly I would be posting them.
Baking with Coconut Flour
What I love is that so less flour and you can make a big batch with little flour. It literally absorbs all the liquid it gets from the different ingredient a recipe uses. Egg is one of the main ingredient used with coconut flour as it needs a binding and 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 a eggs and a lot of eggs, as my son does not like to eat egg on it’s own and this is a good way to feed him 😁😁.
Chocolate Coconut Flour Cookies
This Chocolate Coconut Flour Cookies have that soft and chewy melt in the mouth texture. This are not the crispy cookies if you are looking for one and to be honest, traditionally cookies do have a soft 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 this delicious gluten free Chocolate Coconut Flour Cookies and I am sure you would be the star of the party.

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!

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

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.
