I’ve been craving chocolate chip cookies all week long, so I finally decided to make a healthy and simple version. There’s no baking soda or powder involved, just a handful of wholesome ingredients is all you need.
In addition to coconut oil – one of my preferred cooking oils – I’ve added coconut flakes. Grind them in a food processor if you want a finer consistency. I also used my homemade vanilla sugar so no need to add any vanilla extract.

These cookies look awesome! I got some coconut oil for a curry recipe recently and this looks like a great way to use up some of the extra!
Thanks, Sara! Coconut oil is a great alternative to butter. I like to use it in most of my baking.
I’m a fan of your blog and recipes now! Do you use coconut oil to sub butter in the exact amounts? I.e. if a recipe calls for 1/2 cup of butter then use 1/2 cup of coconut oil?
Awesome, thanks so much! Yes I substitute coconut oil for butter in the exact amounts. In some cases I use half coconut oil, half butter.
Thanks for the answer. I finally made these cookies and they are delicious! Please post more low-gluten or gluten-free recipes. Thank you!
Awesome! So happy you enjoyed them. I’ll definitely keep your low-gluten/gluten-free requests in mind 🙂
