Cookies, in general, are such a versatile dessert. They can be made in so many ways to cover so many diet restrictions, it’s mind-boggling. I’ve always been a huge fan of cookies because there are just so many options to choose from. A couple of my favorites are these Polka Dot Cookies or Four Ingredient Peanut Butter Chocolate Cup Cookies. To put it simply, you can’t go wrong with cookies…ever.

You can either make them a tad healthier or a tad more naughty – this is up to you. Either way you decide to eat them, they’re addicting, so you’ve been warned.

Tips and Variations

  • Are the cookies supposed to look unfinished? – Yes, the cookies will seem unfinished when first pulling them out of the oven. They are a softer cookie, so they will seem mushy at first. They will finish cooking up on the pan.
  • Egg substitute – If you don’t want to use eggs, you can use ½ cup unsweetened applesauce instead. This replaces both eggs used in the recipe.
  • Add-ins – You can add anything to these cookies you like. For example, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, M&M’s, etc. About ½ a cup will do. 
  • Make them healthier – If you want these cookies to be healthier, you’ll want to use a brown sugar substitute. These are often sold as a keto product and there are some great options out there. 
  • Almond butter substitute – You can always use any nut butter as a substitute for the almond butter. Simply use the same amount as the recipe calls for.
  • Garnish – If desired, you can garnish these cookies with frosting, a cinnamon sugar mixture, or an icing. There are a few options and you can have fun with it!
  • Storage – The best storage options for these cookies is to place them in an airtight container in a dry, cool area. They should last up to 5 days. You can freeze these cookies, but I suggest separating the layers of cookies by wax paper in an airtight container. They should last up to 3 months.
  • Reheating – The best way to reheat these cookies is to let them come to room temperature on their own then place them in the microwave for a couple of seconds. 
  • Sugar substitute – If you don’t have any brown sugar on hand, you can always use normal white sugar or monk fruit extract (granulated). 

Common Questions About Coconut Flour Cookies

Can You Substitute Coconut Flour for Almond Flour in Cookies?

Coconut flour is a great substitute for almond flour or even all purpose flours. However, exchanging it for these flours means there will need to be an adjustment in liquid and rising agents going into the recipe. I suggest testing out small amounts to perfect the exchange as they don’t change out evenly. 

Does Coconut Flour Go Bad?

Yes, it can go bad, but it takes a long time. Often times, it’s even still good after the best by date. If kept in a dry, cool pantry, your coconut flour will last a while. The best way to tell if coconut flour has gone bad is to smell it. If it smells stale or like old grease, then it’s time to toss it.

    Hi, I baked this using half the sugar. They’re crumbly and don’t hold together after cooling.  Is 2 tbsps oil too little? Thanks.ReplyCancel
