grain free cookies

With crisp edges and gooey middles, these vegan paleo chocolate chip cookies are a snap to make. You won&#039;t believe they&#039;re plant-based and free of dairy, eggs, grains, gluten, and refined sugar. I’ve given substitution suggestions below, but I have not tested these myself. I’ll update the recipe when I do! For now, if you’re trying a substitution, I would advise baking off a single test cookie, that way you can adjust the remaining dough if need be (i.e. add more flour if the cookies spread too much, or flatten the dough balls if they don’t spread enough). If you try these with tahini, I think you’ll need an additional tablespoon or two of cassava flour to keep them from spreading too much.

Thick & Chewy Vegan Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

(8 g) coconut sugar

(35 g) melted coconut oil ((or try ghee if not vegan))

GF vanilla extract

flour sweet rice

baking soda

fine sea salt

(115 g)

salt

Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 375ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cashew butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth.

Place a strainer over the bowl and sift in the cassava and tiger nut flours with the baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine, then stir in the chocolate chunks.

Scoop 1-inch diameter balls of dough (about 3 tablespoons or a #24 spring-loaded ice cream scoop) onto the prepared cookie sheet, spaced 2-3 inches apart. Top each cookie with a chunk or two of chocolate and a tiny pinch of flaky salt.

Bake the cookies until golden and puffed, with the edges beginning to set and the centers soft, 8-12 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet at 8 minutes for even baking.

Remove the cookies from the oven and slide them, parchment and all, onto a cooling rack. Let them cool as long as you can stand it. Enjoy warm from the oven, or let cool completely and store, covered at room temperature, for up to 3 days.

These gluten-free chocolate cookies are like brownies in cookie form: packed with chocolate, butter, and bound with just a touch of gluten-free flour. Easy to whip up and even easier to eat!

Gluten-Free Chocolate Brownie Cookies

(85 g) Vermont Creamery cultured unsalted butter ((or plant butter

vanilla extract

eggs,

fine sea salt ((decrease

(15 g) tapioca flour ((or try arrowroot))

GF baking powder

Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350º. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Place the butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan set over the lowest possible heat. Add 6 ounces (170 g / 1 cup) of the chocolate and melt together, stirring frequently to prevent the chocolate from scorching. Continue cooking until the mixture is pleasantly warm, but not super hot, to the touch. Remove from the heat and keep warm.

In a small bowl, sift together the flour, tapioca flour, and baking powder and set aside.

Meanwhile, place the eggs, sugar, and fine salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip on medium-high speed until the mixture triples in volume and is very light and fluffy, 5 minutes. (You can also do this in a large bowl with an electric egg beater, or a whisk and your buff arms.)

Turn the mixer to low and stir in the vanilla until just combined, then the warm (but not too hot!) chocolate/butter mixture.

Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a flexible silicone spatula to fold in the remaining 4 ounces (115 g / 3/4 cup) chopped chocolate.

If the batter is very runny, let it cool for a few minutes until it firms to the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Use a #40 spring-loaded ice cream scoop or 2 spoons to drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Top each cookie with a few chunks of chocolate and a pinch of flaky salt.

Bake the cookies until puffed and cracked and the edges are set, 8–12 minutes, rotating the pans front to back and top to bottom halfway through baking. Let cool slightly and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Extra cookies keep well in an air-tight container for up to 4 days.

These are soooo yummy!!!  I just made a batch and can't wait to play around with variations.  These are the perfect tea cookies.  I made several of your breads and see that I need to spend more time in the cookie section too!! :)

Did I mention how much I LOOOOVE easy recipes?  Thank you a million!!

So easy to make,  and so delicious.  A winner for sure.  
Since I made only a small batch I was able to bake them in a toaster oven,  with great success.  
Thanks for creating such an unusual recipe.

So excited to try these. Would coconut flour work?

I used your photo to inspire my chocolate decoration (lots of zigzags!) for half of the cookies, and kept the other half plain for simpler snacks. I love coconut and dates so I knew I would like these. Mine have a delicious crunch  because I pressed the a little thinner. Another winner, thank you!

With crisp edges and gooey middles, these vegan &amp; paleo tahini chocolate chip cookies are a snap to make. You won&#039;t believe they&#039;re plant-based and free of dairy, eggs, grains, gluten, nuts, and refined sugar.

Egg-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies + 40 Eggless Dessert Recipes

(70 g) melted, cooled coconut oil ((or ghee if not vegan))

flour rice

flour flour

(28 g) tapioca flour ((I use Bob's Red Mill))

chocolate

Position a rack in the top of the oven and preheat to 350ºF. Line 2 rimless cookie sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth and emulsified.

Place a strainer over the bowl and sift in the cassava, tiger nut, and tapioca flours with the baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine, then stir in the chocolate chunks.

Make the dough

Scoop 1-inch diameter balls of dough (3-4 tablespoons or a rounded #24 spring-loaded ice cream scoop) onto the prepared cookie sheet, spaced 3 inches apart. Top each cookie with a chunk or two of chocolate and a pinch of flaky salt.

Shape

Bake the cookies one pan at a time in the top rack of the oven until golden and puffed, with the edges beginning to set and the centers soft, 12-16 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet at 10 minutes for even baking.

Remove the cookies from the oven and slide them, parchment and all, onto a cooling rack. Let them cool as long as you can stand it. Enjoy warm from the oven, at room temperature, or let cool completely and store, covered at room temperature, for up to 3 days.

Almond coconut bars are lightly sweetened with honey and brown sugar for a cross between your favorite treat and a nourishing grain free snack and are grain free.

Easy Almond Coconut Bars

brown sugar (or coconut sugar)

butter ((you can use coconut oil, but you'll need to keep them refrigerated to stay firm))

almond flour

eggs

honey

baking powder

vanilla

coconut

mini semisweet chocolate chips ((or small regular chips))

chocolate chips

coconut oil ((or butter))

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 9-inch square pan with parchment (or foil - you&#x27;ll need the overhang to remove the bars).

Make the first layer by mixing the sugar and butter until creamy and then adding the almond meal and flax, stirring to combine well. Press into prepared pan and bake for 12 minutes until brown around the edges. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, prepare the second layer by beating the eggs in a medium bowl. Add all the remaining second layer ingredients, mixing well and pour onto the partially baked first layer.

Bake for 20-23 minutes more, or until top is golden brown and center barely jiggles. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into 24 bars (TIP: cool in the fridge overnight for firmer bars).

For the drizzle, melt the chocolate chips with the oil and use a spoon to drizzle over the bars evenly (you can do this before cutting or after cutting, it&#x27;s up to you).

I made these in an 8x8 pan and substituted Reece's peanut butter chips as I can't do chocolate.  Once baked I melted more PB chips with some coconut oil and drizzled the bars.  Oh Yum!!

Oh my took these to my grandsons school. No-one at our table even got to try them. They disappeared in 10 minutes. I even doubled it. They are so effortless to make and I already had all of the ingredients in the pantry. I did use semi-sweet chocolate. I’m a sucker for sweets. Thanks Jami for this jewel.

I made these today and they taste great, although I was surprised by the cake-like consistency.  Maybe that is the texture that they are supposed to have, but I just expected something different for bars.  Mine were nice and golden brown, so I didn't dare bake them longer.  Are yours usually firm or soft in the middle?  I tried refrigerating them awhile to see if that would help them firm up, but no.  Perhaps it's because I used a store-bought fine almond flour, rather than a course meal... I hope I can figure out a way to make them a little firmer, because I have a lot of friends who eat gluten free, and they are easily made dairy-free, too, with dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil.  Thanks for sharing!

I thought I’d try this recipe because I like the simplicity of the recipe and the ingredients.  I had everything on hand too. I added 1 cup of roasted hazelnuts and a couple of drops of Wild orange essential oil to the chocolate drizzle. This tastes like a real almond joy bar but with hazelnuts and it tastes even better. Like a guilty pleasure and it’s addicting too!  I keep it in the fridge because I like it cold and it tasted better the second day. I would suggest cutting it into bars the next day because it holds its shape better and then drizzle. 

Thanks so much for an awesome recipe! I will be enjoying this all the time now 😉!

Thank you for this delicious recipe! I plan to make this soon. Great blog and wonderful recipes, links and everything! Love &amp; truly appreciate all of your hard work!

Making these AGAIN for Easter!!  (Also made for Christmas).  Huge hit!  Family expects me to bring them now ?  I double the recipe and bake in a 13x9x2.  Come out operfect.  Only problem is they are addictive!
