These chocolatey cocoa cookies are like those big tasty cookies that you see at coffee shops that are just begging to be dipped into a cup of tea or coffee! These are grain-free and have a nice soft texture. Enjoy!
Cocoa Cookies (grain free):
Makes about 8 large cookies
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 tbsp coconut flour (where to buy coconut flour)
1/3 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut oil (where to buy coconut oil)
1 pastured egg
1. Pre-heat oven to 350°. Combine ingredients in a bowl or mixer/food processor. Make sure that the coconut oil is melted (76°).
2. Shape dough hunks into balls and flatten and form into large circles on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat (I always use a silpat for baking, it makes for easy cleanup and is reusable).
3. Bake for about 6-9 minutes. Cookies will be firm.
You can use these cookies to make a dairy-free ice cream sandwich! Click here to see the ice cream sandwich recipe!

Hello there! I came accross your recipe and I was wondering if these cookies were “low carb.” I’m diabetic and on an extremely low carb diet so I am very curious before I start a batch 😀
Much appreciated!

Coconut sugar ha a low glycemic index do yes they are diabetic friendly.
I just made these. So good. Thank you!
I wondered if there was a substitute for the ground flax meal? Do you think 1/4 cup more of almond flour work? Thanks!
Can I sub flaxseeds with chia or hemp seeds?
You can try to sub the flaxseed with equal amount of ground chia seeds. It may not turn out the same though.
I have all of the ingredients on hand….my kids are sure to love these…any hubby too. Thanks!
Would substituting c sugar with honey work in this recipe?
