The most asked for dessert in the house, these healthier chocolate chip cookies have NO sugar, NO white flour, NO eggs and NO butter. Just delicious chocolatey goodness with every bite.
Healthier Chocolate Chip Cookies
I didn’t think it was possible but by golly it is! How can something with no refined sugar, and no white flour, and no butter taste so darn good. These Healthier Chocolate Chip cookies are honestly one of the best cookies I have ever eaten! No, really!
They are SO moist! My sister-in-law introduced us to them over Christmas a few years ago and now they are the most requested dessert in our house. aka Aunt Donna’s Cookies.
One important tip. If you use coconut oil be sure to just melt it not “heat” it too much. If it does get hot, let it cool a little before mixing other ingredients in.
Grab your glass of cold milk and ENJOY!! 🙂

Great recipe – I will have to try it soon. I have been trying to use whole wheat pastry flour and oat bran in more of my bread and muffin recipes lately. Your cookies look really good.

I’ve been waiting for someone in one of my party circles to attempt a chocolate chip cookie with almond flour. The few I have seen looked very crumbly and dry. Not these. These look amazing and I have pinned them. I need to buy a new bag of almond flour and try out the oat flour. Looks so YUMmy!
Sherri says
Crystal they are SO good! My whole family fights over how many each person has gotten. I think I might have to resort to individual baggies. 🙂

True story; my hubby just made some Oat flour this morning! Thanks so much. Could we use Peanut Butter instead of Almond Butter? LauriePOP Ideas That POP
Sherri says
That’s awesome! I wish my hubs would do that! Although I haven’t used peanut butter, I’m sure it would work. It may change the flavor a bit but I bet still yummy 🙂
Sammi Ricke says
