Everyone has been asking me for this recipe and I totally understand why! These cookies are so tasty and soft. They can be enjoyed by a few special populations (grain-free, vegan, dairy-free, lower-carb), but even people without any dietary restrictions LOVE them! I’ve included a couple variations with this recipe, including the much-awaited chocolate Reese’s peanut butter cookie variation!
Grain-free chocolate chip cookiesIngredients:
- 2 eggs or “eggs”
- Option 1: 2 large eggs, whisked
- Option 2: 2 1/2 TBSP ground flax seed and 3 TBSP water
- Option 3: 2 eggs-worth of egg replacer (follow instructions on package)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup almond flour/meal (120 g)
- 1/3 cup muscovado sugar (80 g) (or brown sugar or powdered erythritol/stevia)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour (28 g)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp pink salt
- 2 TBSP melted coconut oil or Kerrygold butter (30 g)
- 7 ounces of chocolate chips – Sugar-free Lily’s brand or a bag of ChocZero brand chips
Materials
- Large mixing bowl
- Cookie scoop
- Hand mixer
- Cookie sheet – I like air-bake sheets for even baking
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Prepare your “eggs” or eggs, whisk with 2 tsp vanilla extract, and set aside.
- In large bowl, thoroughly mix almond flour, sugar, coconut flour, baking soda, and pink salt.
- Add in coconut oil and mix well.
- Mix in eggs/”eggs” until very well-incorporated.
- Mix in the chocolate chips.
- Use tablespoon measure or cookie scoop to form perfect-sized dough balls.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until edges are slightly brown, and allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes. *Note* The cookies will not change shape so don’t worry if you see them and think they aren’t rising or baking properly!
- Enjoy!

Thanks! Yeah I love being able to use one base recipe and alter it for more flavors and/or inclusion. I have so many friends on special diets and I hate when they’re left out. Being on a special diet myself, I totally understand this.
