21DSD Chocolate Chip Cookies (soft-baked)

21DSD Cookies - Chocolate Chip (soft-baked)


I believe this recipe took me four tries to perfect, and I have lots of not-quite-perfect cookies in the freezer.  It’s difficult to make a perfectly-textured cookie without the use of coconut sugar or maple syrup! But I’m so glad I kept trying, because these cookies are the perfect not-sweet treat.

One of these cookies is soft and satisfying, studded with homemade “chocolate chips” that don’t require any weird ingredients.

Make a batch of these today, or pin this recipe to make on meal prep Sunday; you can freeze these and take them out one and a time throughout the week!

These turned out crisp on the inside and soft on the inside; thanks in part to Anthony’s Goods Culinary Almond Flour; their almond flour is pretty much the only one I’ll use now that I’ve tried it!!

    Hi Heather! You are an amazing person! I also have Celiac and other autoimmune issues, but am not nearly as good at creating recipes and Kicking Celiac’s Butt as YOU are, my dear! YOU ROCK!! I just bought your Grain Free Family Favorites cookbook simply because of your story, outlook on life and amazing spirit. You are not sitting back wondering how other people are going to help you with Celiac, you are moving forward and making your own trail and telling Celiac to move the heck out of your way! I can’t wait to try all the yummy recipes you have created. Many blessings to you, my dear! You are an inspiration.

    I really enjoyed these cookies! I replaced the arrowroot starch with tapioca flour, and it worked wonderfully. I’m allergic to dairy so I also replaced the butter with refined (flavourless) coconut oil. They were perfectly sweet for my taste buds and had a great texture too, really similar to real chocolate chip cookies! I will post a picture of the ones I made on my blog. Thanks, Heather!
