Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delightful twist on a classic favorite. Made with wholesome ingredients like coconut flour and applesauce, the cookies are a guilt-free treat that won’t disappoint. Perfect for a sweet snack or dessert, they are sure to satisfy your cookie cravings.
When making Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies, consider that coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture, so it’s essential to stick to the recipe. If you need to make substitutions, you can try using almond flour instead, but the texture will change. Additionally, ensure that any sweeteners used are suitable for your dietary needs, especially if you are managing sugar intake or have allergies.

Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup applesauce, natural
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 egg whites (9 Tbsp liquid egg whites)
- 1 1/2 cups light coconut milk
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup stevia, replaces 1/4 C sugar
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together 1 cup coconut flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, beat together 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3 egg whites, 1/2 cup applesauce, and 1 1/2 cups light coconut milk until well combined. Don’t worry if it seems watery; coconut flour will soak it up later.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until everything is mixed evenly.
- Fold in 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until well distributed.
- Scoop tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, flattening each one with your fingertips to the desired size, as the cookies won’t spread during baking.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cookies turn lightly brown. Allow them to cool a bit before enjoying.
