#1 Secret Ingredient for the Best Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

One thing that’s really hard to solve in paleo cookie recipes? How to balance the coconut flour with the amount of wet ingredients to create the chewy, buttery texture of classic chocolate chip cookies.

In the past, when I tried to use nut butters to “combat” the superpower absorption rate of coconut flour, I ended up with a too-moist, not at all chewy, and almost uncooked cakey/gummy texture of the usual paleo/gluten free baked goods. .

I knew that this time, I needed to use something else to balance the nut butter. Enter: tahini. I learned a lot about tahini when I developed these Big Sesame Tahini Cookies. Tahini is not at all like other nut or seed butters. It’s a lot more liquidy, and its flavor is very strong.

So I tested and re-tested this recipe using different amounts of tahini so that its flavor isn’t too noticeable, but also so that its liquidy nature could combat the coconut flour.

Final result: the BEST coconut flour chocolate chip cookies that happen to be paleo & vegan! . .

Tools for the Best Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies!

  • Tahini – the secret ingredient to my favorite paleo chocolate chip cookies! Just the right amount of liquidy, just the right amount of thick. Before you ask, nope, you can’t substitute this ingredient with more almond butter. Lol.
  • Coconut Flour – One of my favorite ingredients to use (carefully hehe) in paleo vegan cookies recipes and more. Such a delightful ingredient that keeps recipes flourless, grain-free, vegan and paleo.
  • Medium Cookie Scoop – I’ve long searched for a good, sturdy cookie scoop that can last through: frozen cookie dough, 100’s of scoops in one day, washing in high heat water. This is it.
  • Coconut Sugar – the trick to baking the best paleo chocolate chip cookies that don’t taste vegan or healthy. Just delicious.
  • Coconut Oil – an excellent substitute for dairy butter in many paleo vegan recipes!

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, add all ingredients except chocolate. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough onto baking sheet, evenly spaced apart. Do not roll cookie dough in the palm of your hands—this will cause the dough to warm up and release too much oil, resulting in spread out cookies with unseemly crispy edges.
  4. With the palm of your hand, quickly flatten cookies about halfway for thicker cookies, flatten considerably for thinner cookies. If cracks form, press back together with your fingers. Dot with chocolate chips.
  5. Bake for 12-16 minutes. Mine took 14 minutes. Place cookie sheet on a cooling rack, and allow cookies to cool directly on the sheet for 15-20 minutes—do not remove from sheet for at least 15 minutes, as cookies are fragile. Transfer cookies directly onto the cooling rack to cool for about 30 minutes, or until completely cooled. Enjoy! Storing notes below.

  1. Hi im paleo and dont use coconut suger can I use maple syrup. Im wondering because of the consistlncy

    1. Hi Sharon, I wouldn’t recommend subbing the coconut sugar with maple syrup–it’s liquidy and may cause issues in the final product. But you’re welcome to try it and let me know how it turns out. Good luck! 🙂

  2. Demeter these cookies are fantastic. My husband who has no restrictions on diet loved them as well. I will certainly be making them again. Oh, and I substituted the almond butter with Sunflower butter as I can’t eat almonds at this time. They still came out great! Thanks for the recipe! You are a blessing to me!






    1. Hi Karen, I’m so happy to hear that you and your husband loved my recipe. 🙂 Isn’t it cool when folks without dietary restrictions love it too? So pleased to hear that the sunflower butter worked! Your kind words mean so much to me. Truly. ❤️

  3. Hello! I just discovered you blog. Simply fantastic! But i have almond intolerance. Could i try with coconut butter or PB? Many thanks

    1. I swore off coconut flour chocolate chip cookies after previous disasters but so glad I gave this recipe a try: simply fantastic! I admit to having an almost unnatural affinity for tahini but even I had to laugh when I saw the secret ingredient to be added on top of almond butter. Truly an awesome treat.






    1. Thanks Gayemarie! Hmm…I haven’t tried subbing that ingredient yet and it’s pretty crucial to this recipe. You can try: subbing the amount of tahini with the same amount of almond butter (on top of the existing amount of AB) and adding in about 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil. No guarantees though–I tested this recipe many times and even altering the ratio of tahini to AB resulted in disaster. Good luck & let me know how it turns out! 🙂

  4. I made these and they were fantastic! The BEST Vegan Paleo cookies I have eaten to date. My kids and husband did not even notice they were different. I love this recipe and will be making it again.






  5. Thank you for doing the hard work testing recipes to bring us a choc chip cookie worth making! I’m going to make these with the kids this afternoon!






  6. I love how these are a healthier option for a chocolate chip cookie. I know my kids would love them too and I can enjoy them guilt-free.
