These Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies are so delicious and soft. The perfect little treats for anyone who is looking for a lighter chocolate chip cookie!
Made with nine simple ingredients, these coconut flour chocolate chip cookies are such a delicious little treat! They’re so simple to make and are perfect if you have a child who tells you last minute about a bake sale or a class party.
These cookies don’t require any specialized baking equipment, no fancy ingredients, and are made in less than 30 minutes. A lot of chocolate chip cookies require chilling the dough before baking, but not this one, making it a great last-minute dessert!
And since these coconut flour chocolate chip cookies don’t require any fancy mixers, you can pass your little one a bowl and spoon and have them mix your ingredients for you! I love bringing my son into the kitchen with me, and this is one of those recipes that he’s able to help with!
These cookies also don’t use any dairy products (substitute coconut oil instead of melted butter), so it is a great accommodating dessert. Coconut flour is also a more budget-friendly gluten-free product. Almond flour can be on the pricer side, so when making a lot of gluten-free treats, coconut flour can save you some money!

Gluten-free Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/3 cup coconut flakes
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl, toss together coconut flour, baking soda, coconut flakes and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add eggs, butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Mix everything together. Add the chocolate chips and fold in the dough.
- Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the batter onto the tray 2 inches apart.
- Flatten the cookies with your fingers and top with a few more chocolate chips.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt chocolate chips in the microwave and drizzle over the cookies.
Notes
- Feel free to use any type of chocolate chips like semi-sweet, milk-dark, butterscotch, caramel, and more!
- I like to drizzle some chocolate on top of the cookies once they’ve cooled but that’s optional.
- Give the cookies time to cool before transferring them as they’re delicate and can break.
- To store: Store the chocolate chip cookies for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
- To freeze: After baking, flash freeze the cookies before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

Hi Olivia! This post caught my eye because I love alfajores! They have such a delicate, crumbly texture that is definitely reminiscent of a cookie made with coconut flour like the recipe you have here. I will definitely have to make these soon. Love that your chocolate chip cookies have no refined sugar. Pinned!
I know, right? I love their crumbly texture too 😉
These didnt turn out It never really formed a dough Came out crumbling through my fingers and yellow. What did i do wrong?
So sorry to hear that. I made again this recipe to taste and it turned out very well. What kind of coconut flour did you use? I use this one from Bob’s Red Mill.
Mine didn’t turn out either, it was so crumbly they wouldn’t stay together. Even melting the chocolate Chios did not go well. I used organic coconut flour.
Sorry to hear that. It is probably the type of coconut flour. I normally use Bob’s red mill. It’s my fave for this recipe. It always turns out well!
Olivia, thank you for the many delicacies!
I wish you a peaceful holiday !
You’re very welcome!
Great but who in the world eats 1 cookie????
the dough was really crumbly i added some extra of the wet ingredients to make it stick together more and that worked fine
