Paleo Recipe: Vanilla Coconut Cookies
13 Aug
Paleo + cookies seem to not really go together, but if you’re not 100 % strict paleo, here’s a good paleo-esque recipe to try! (And, it’s definitely gluten-free, for those of you that are on a gluten-free diet!)
My only warning is that coconut flour is pretty dry, and so if you’ve never used it before, you should expect a dryer cookie and just make sure you eat it with milk (or almond milk!)
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup of coconut flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill Organic Coconut Flour)
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp of Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup of sugar (Or Honey if you want it more paleo! In that recipe I used organic brown sugar, but if you decide to use honey, you can do 1 cup = 1 cup conversion or you can try using less honey (about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup), I find that it has to do more with how people feel about the honey taste than anything else.)
- 1/2 cup of butter (softened to make your life easier)
- Sprinkle of Sea Salt

All the ingredients mixed
2. It is now mixed well enough for you to scoop up about 1 inch balls of them. Go ahead and do that. I like to roll them up in to balls and then flatten them down on Parchment Paper

3. Bake in the oven for about . Like any other baking recipes, just check on it around 20 minutes and test it out to see if it looks done or not. It should be hard when it is completely done:

Optional step: Eat some and put the rest in an awesome cookie jar like this! (Yes, I’m just showing off my cookie jar at this point…)

I looooovve cookies!
Me too! Thought it’s funny, I had never baked them before until I started eating a paleo-ish diet… so that’s why I discovered coconut flour!
Thanks for visiting!

MMmm!! These look scrumptious! I’m gonna have to try them! Thanks for stopping by my blog, I can’t wait to try some of your paleo recipes!
Thanks for stopping by too! The cookies are pretty cool as there aren’t that many paleo friendly recipes so I like it too :)
Do you ever add extra liquid (in this case butter I guess?) to the recipe? My coconut flour suggests doing that in some cases. Or mixing coconut flour & another type of flour? Just curious, I LOVE coconut flour but I also love moist cookies!
Thanks for stopping by! I hadn’t tried adding more butter, that may help! I know that if you just use the specified amount, it’s a bit dry, so maybe I can try that sometime! Thanks for the suggestion :)
looks great:) I have never baked with coconut flour before.. will have to try:) thank your for the dry hints:)
Thanks for visiting! Good luck baking the cookies! It tastes pretty good if you don’t mind the dryness! And it is healthy! (Check this out if you are interested in reading more :) http://www.livestrong.com/article/28183-health-benefits-coconut-flour)
