So, I’ve been trying to use more coconut flour for my recipes. For one reason it goes a lot farther and its cheaper than almond flour. I actually really like the taste too! It can be difficult to work with if you are not used to it but once you get it, it’s a great product to work with!!
Soooo, I made these little guys up tonight. The batch made about 30 little puff cookies… and they’re completely gone! My husband loved them, my kids loved them, and I was really happy with how they turned out too! That’s always a plus! I so love that I can feed my family good desserts without all the sugar!! I love love the THM Sweet Blend that is sold on the Trim Healthy Mama website and I know I’ve said that a TON of times! But it’s true! I love my Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle
and my THM Sweetener!!
Let’s start by creaming the butter and cream cheese… you had me at butter!! 🙂 Then add the sweetener, eggs and vanilla and mix well.
Add the dry ingredients:
Chop up an 85% dark chocolate bar and add it in with about 1/2 cup of pecan or walnuts (nuts are optional)! You can use sugar free chocolate chips if you want too!
Preheat you oven to 375 degrees.
Scoop about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of batter onto a cookie sheet. I did not grease my sheet but I did have a nonstick cookie sheet.
**NOTE: To keep these coconut chocolate chip cookies moist you need to keep them in a round scoop, not flatten them!
Don’t you just love this cute little mini ice cream scoop? Perfect for cookies!
Bake and take out. You don’t even have to wait for them to cool… enjoy!!!

Are the 3 that are in your last pic a serving?? These look easy and I’ve been dying for a cookie! Thanks for always sharing great stuff!
I just figured 3 but I think you could have 4 and be good for an S! 🙂
Thank you so much for a cookie recipe that doesn’t require almond flour!! My daughter is deathly allergic and the whole family tries to follow THM. What a blessing, after looking at countless recipes and getting discouraged…….finally!!!! I’m so excited to try these!!!
Yay! I really hope you liked them!!! 🙂 One of my favorites!
Thank you for producing a yummy, yummy cookie. You are awesome!!! I love using coconut flour too. Thank you for all you do for us people who love to bake but can’t come up with our own creations. 😉
Oh why thank YOU!! And you are very welcome! 🙂
How much Truvia would you use in this? I’m new and just using the packets right now. Thanks!
I would do twice the amount as the THM Sweet Blend! 🙂 Taste and see if it is sweet enough for sure! 🙂
Does the coconut flour have a real coconut taste? I do not like the taste of coconut. If yes, can some other flour be used? Thank you.
I honestly don’t think it has a big coconut flavor but I have not had much regular flour at all in over 18 months so when I do regular white flour tastes strange to me now! 🙂
THANK YOU!! I LOVE Cookies! Plus you came up with one that is budget friendly. Now I can have my cookies this Christmas season 🙂
Yay! I really like these cookies!!!
These are baking right now! I made slightly bigger cookies (about 24), should I bake an extra few minutes? These look devine and smell just like regular cookie dough!!!! Yahoo for your recipes! You are amazing
Yes, I would bake a few minutes longer! 🙂
Hi there, I was looking at your tiramisu recipe,looks so good! Then noticed the pic for your cookies 🙂 This type recipe works very well with no cream cheese also. My batter looks very like yours before going into the oven but when they come out they are flatter and browner JUST like a typical flour-made chocolate chip cookie!! I leave them on the pan for a good bit of time( they are very soft at 1st!) and then transfer to a wire rack to further firm up. They crisp up perfectly. I cannot believe how exactly coconut flour mimics wheat flour in chocolate chip cookies. SO YUM!!! I just make sure ,by feel and sight, the dough is exactly like my kids cookie dough before baking. JUST the right amt of coconut flour is important, add a little at a time and feel it:-)
Oh this is awesome information!! Thank you so much!! I will have to try this!!! 🙂
Could you use oat fiber instead of the coconut flour?
I am not sure how it would work… you can try it. It would probably take the same amount of oat fiber as coconut flour! 🙂 I haven’t tried it so let me know how it turns out!
Sarah, I love the taste. However, my cookies were a bit dry. Could it be because I used fat free cream cheese?
Yes, that could be the issue… coconut flour can be soooo dry… needs lots of good fat or liquid to keep it moist! 🙂
Thanks Sarah. Always look forward to getting your mail.
🙂
I made these last night and they were GREAT! Thank-you for the recipe! I had to improvise slightly – I only had 2 eggs and a carton of egg whites so I used 1/4 egg whites. THey were moist and crumbly, delicious!!
Awesome substitute!!! Thank you for telling me!! 🙂
This recipe saved the day! I made these last night and they curved the craving for anything off plan! They taste so good! My whole family loved it even the ones not on plan! Thank you for putting this information out there! Its wonderful to have such great holiday treats, just like everyone else, but these do not hurt my body! This was the only recipe I found with no almond flour, hubby is allergic to nuts. He is on plan and even happier than I am!
Oh that is so awesome to hear!!! Thank you for telling me!!! It’s always awesome when they hubbies like the recipes too! 🙂
Where do you buy your 85% chocolate bar?
I get mine anywhere. My local HEB or Target or Walmart! It is with the actually candies and not on the check out aisle! I also get them specifically at Trader Joe’s (my favorite store)!
I was wondering if you know the exact carb count in these. My daughter is diabetic so we have to count all carbs that pass her lips so we can dose the correct amount of insulin.
I don’t… I’ll see if I can working on getting one up! :-/
When I take them out are they supposed to be a bit soft…like seemingly not done? Putting them back in for a couple minutes now…
Yes, they are soft but will harden up a little bit if you let them cool. I would not bake them more than 10 minutes are they can dry out but it also does depend on your oven too. If you let them sit they will firm up a bit! 🙂
Can you tell me what I did wrong? The batter was very soupy so I added more coconut flour. It never got very stiff & when the cookies got into the oven they flattened out like a pancake. They taste good but did not come out right.
Oh gosh, I don’t know! That has never happened to me at all… I am wondering if too much liquid was some how added… did you use coconut flour? That’s so strange!
is coconut flour the same as my own ground unsweetened coconut? If not then that was the problem.
Ugh, yes, I think that might have done it… store bought is different, not sure why but I’ve done the same thing before.
thanks again for another great recipe! this was so easy to make dairy-free! I just subbed coconut oil for the butter, and coconut cream for the cream cheese. I so apperciate your blog <3
Awesomeness and thank you!! 🙂
I love baking and staying healthy so this is a perfect combo, Thank you so much for these wonderful cookies 😀
YAY!! 🙂
Thank you for this great recipe! To be honest, I was hesitant to have my husband try this since its something different than the norm! He really liked them and I was happy 🙂
I can’t wait to try this recipe! 😀
I am so in love with this trim healthy mama but I get sucked in every time I visit lol It’s all so good—there’s just not enough time n the day
Thanks so much for sharing these yummy cookies. I just made/eating them and hopefully there will be some left by the time my husband gets home…the children and I are really enjoying them! 🙂 Made a few changes to your recipe, I only had mini chocolate chips so I used 1/3 cup, also added 1 TBSP of vanilla instead of 1tsp, they are perfect and look like your pictures!! My daughter says they look like a small scoop of ice cream. I scooped with a small cookie scoop and it was perfect size. Thanks again and look forward to browsing all of your blog! Many blessings to your family!
Yay!! And thank you for sharing!! 🙂 I love these simple cookies too!
Do these need to be refrigerated since they contain cream cheese? Could I freeze them for a treat later?
Yes I keep them in an air tight container in the fridge.
I pinned this recipe awhile back and just never had a chance to make them. I really wanted something to finish off dinner tonight. We had Pearl’s chili from the book. I decided it was time to make cookies. Oh my goodness! Thank you, thank you. These were delicious. All four kids and my hubby loved them. I did too. So easy to make. I will be makng these quite often.
YAY!! They are easy and yummy! I am going to make some today! 🙂
Can you use the THM baking blend in these instead of the coconut flour?
Ive never tried it but I think it would work… just add maybe a 1/3 to 1/2 cup more!!
Just tried these. They were a winner!!
Yay!!!
These are in the oven right now. I sampled the batter just to test it out of course (I also just used stevia so a little different) but so far so good. Oh and I used Lilly’s dark chocolate chips. Yum! Thanks for the recipe
These are great! Do you know how many net carbs there are in them
I don’t… sorry about that.
I made these this afternoon. Boy, are they good!!!!! Thanks for the recipe!
Cant wait to make them tomorrow. Please keep those almond flourless recipes coming.
