Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ok guys, so if you haven’t noticed already…I am obsessed with all things Coconut!

It’s true, I have coconut flavored tea and I also use coconut milk as a creamer for my tea as well. I use coconut oil to bake with a lot too.

Coconuts are so beneficial to your health. On a recent trip to St. Lucia, we took a tour bus to the ‘Drive In Volcano’. (Look for our travel post on this…super excited to launch a new travel section on the blog!)

Along the way on our 2 hour bus ride, our tour guide was telling us about all of the vegetation on the island. One of the things she mentioned was the Coconuts. She was telling us how the people there use every single inch of the coconut and all of the health benefits each part of the coconut has.

I always knew there were some health benefits to drinking coconut water, or cooking with the oil.

I love it, anything that’s all natural and can benefit to my health…I’m sold! And if it means I have to eat all of these Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies, then so be it!

When I went Gluten Free a few years ago, I thought my days of tasty sweet treats were over. I had tried some of the pre-packaged cookies at the store that were labeled Gluten free, but they always ended up tasting bland. Plus, have you ever read the nutritional value on these packages? They are usually loaded with sugar and things you can’t pronounce.

Another myth that I had heard from many people was that if you baked Gluten Free desserts they would taste awful. Ummm I guess they never tried these cookies!

Here’s what I love about these Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies:

  • They are so soft and chewy (yes I know I said that earlier).
  • The flavors of chocolate and coconut blend so well together, it’s like chocolatey coconut bliss!
  • They are super easy to make.
  • These are kid approved! (Just ask my picky 13 year old son)

    These tasted good, but were not cookies. They spread out in a few short minutes and became one large cookie. I used the conversion for the regular sugar, since I didn’t have truvia, but I definitely think there is a misprint on the amount of coconut oil. 1 cup of coconut oil is a lot and there were extremely greasy. I’m so disappointed!

      Hi Katie, I’ve made these several times and have never had an issue. You may have had them too close together on the baking sheet. This recipe makes around 24 cookies, is that how many you made? Did you substitute any other ingredients?
