This is one of the first Paleo recipes I ever tackled after starting this lifestyle and drooling over the daily food pornography from my Amazing Friends Hayley and Bill at The Food Lovers Primal Palate. Here are their delicious Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies. The best part of these is the raw organic honey keeps the insides of these chewy for days and its like no other cookie texture I have ever had.
Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Serves: 12
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 (That’s degrees Fahrenheit with the oven set to bake for you non kitchen people haha)
- In a large bowl, combine coconut oil, raw honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and sea salt. (To make your life easier, in a small bowl on the side, combine the raw honey and coconut oil and melt in the microwave before mixing it in)
- Add in your coconut flour.
- Stir in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips.
- On parchment lined baking sheets, drop heaping tablespoons of cookie batter.(Ensure you form them to look like the cookies you want for a final product as these do not rise or spread like conventional cookies, which also means you can place more on a baking sheet without worrying about them touching)
- Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack and then enjoy with a nice cup of coconut milk.

These are very yummy!! Combination of my two faves, chocolate & coconut!!! They are a teeny bit sweet though! Even our 7 yr old son loves em!!
Thanks Corina. You could reduce the honey a little next time
HOLY WOW!
Yeah, these are going in my “weekend cooking” plan right beside caveman crunch. At this rate my entire eating plan is going to be made up of things from your site! :)
Now… how do I not eat the whole plate of cookies in one sitting? ;-)
That makes me happy, please make everything off my site :) And that is a good question, freeze them lol

was certainly compelling and beneficial! In modern society that
is difficult to do. Regards, Martin
Would maple syrup work in place of the honey? Or would it be too runny?
That should work perfectly
These are very good. Soft but don’t fall apart when you pick them up. Tasty and a welcome treat for a cheat.
These are so delish! I have a craving for them and was going to make them but just realized I am out of eggs and considering there is the biggest snow storm ever going on right now….they will have to wait until tomorrow :( The Caveman Feast cook book is mandatory to any paleo kitchen!
Sorry you don’t have eggs and thank you for the kind words about my cookbook
Scrumptious! So quick to make, sustaining so I wont need another one…for a wee while :0) I used the sabayon method to mix the eggs & oil…is that what you do C.Caveman?
Also I used 85% dark organic fair trade chocolate…divine! Thanks for your awesome recipe, will be trying others of yours :D
Well Sheryl if I had the slightest inclination as to what the sabayon method is, I would concur. So in other words, I mix my stuff whatever way seems faster :) Hope you love more of my recipes :)
These are absolutely freaking amazing! And, so easy! Why feel the need to really cheat when you can have cookies like these? YUM!!!
That is a true story, so glad you love them :)
What are the calories, fat, etc counts ?
Aileen, I do not count calories or calculate them for any of my recipes. You can use stuff like fitday.com or myfitnesspal.com to calculate them if you would like though
what does it mean 4 omega 3 eggs? It it 4 or 3 eggs?
4 eggs, I labeled them as being omega 3 rich eggs
These are AMAZING! My wife made them last night and I can’t get enough. They are dangerous in that regard. Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome Todd. So glad you enjoyed
I made these yesterday and they were crazy awesome. So good that I couldn’t stop eating the batter.
Woohoo :)
Did I read this right? 4 eggs? My batter was way too runny. What did I do wrong?
Could you use almond flour instead of coconut flour?
No Lorie, they do not work 1:1
Did I read this right? 4 eggs? My batter looks way too thin and am now wondering how to fit it.
Yes Lori, it will thicken when you add the coconut flour, I am assuming you haven’t added that yet
Seems like maybe I did something wrong! The dough was very dry and wouldn’t hold together well. I added a couple tablespoons of water and it helped some but I still ended up just making a pan cookie. When baked they are fairly dry and somewhat crumbly. If that’s how they should come out, then I am good, otherwise… any ideas? Thanks for all your great recipes!
No it is not supposed to be like that. I have never added water but they always come out perfect as long as I use raw organic honey. Mine are never dry, crumbly or bland. The raw honey keeps them moist
Mine were dry too, but then I realized my shredded coconut said “reduced fat” on the bag. I didn’t notice that when I bought it. Also I used agave cuz that’s what I had on hand. I’ll stick with raw honey next time.
Ah yes Andrea I have never heard of reduced fat coconut but those words should never be together. And the raw honey is what provides a lot of the moisture in these
I’m very new to paleo and just found your blog, which is awesome btw!! I don’t live near a whole foods or trader joes or any kind of organic selling grocery store. Where can I find almond flour, coconut oil and coconut milk? And how do I know what brand to buy? Thanks!
Awesome, welcome Amy. The best place for almond flour is amazon. Coconut products all from Tropical Traditions which you can see linked on my right side bar.
Do you have a good suggestion as a substitution for the choc chips? We’re trying to stay away from cane juice :)
Yep any dark chocolate you want
Quick question, on the 1/2 cup coconut oil, is this measured while solid or melted? Can’t wait to try these!
It is measured melted Leanne, sorry about that
These are AMAZING!! And my boys loved them too. next time I will try the banana trick and cut back on the chips.
So glad you guys loved them. Let me know how the second batch works out
These cookies are great! What is Kimberly talking about with “the banana trick”? I like banana’s!
So glad you enjoyed
I had these recently at someone’s house and I ate four of them. So wonderful!
Thank you
I just made these and they are FANTASTIC! i used 1/3 cup agave syrup instead of honey b/c that’s what i had on hand
I am so glad you enjoyed :)
I did that too! And I subbed bananas and unsweetened cocoa powder in instead of chocolate chips. TO DIE FORRR!
Awesome Rachel. Glad you like them
Was wondering how much cocoa powder you used?
There is no cocoa powder in this recipe
It sure would be nice to have a “print” option for the recipes. I cook a lot where I don’t have computer access so need printed versions. I’m excited to try this one!
There is a print option on the bottom with all the social media outlets, its called print friendly
I have been doing Paleo for 2 weeks now, and was seriously craving some sweets.
This did a great job of getting me thru my cravings!! I cooked just a little to long, but they turned out great. Thanks for sharing!!
You are most welcome, I am so glad you enjoyed :)
These are on the "to bake this weekend" list!
Yes you can mix it in whenever, I am fixing it now
There's no note on when to add the coconut flour…I'm assuming with the liquid ingredients? Then the coconut and chocolate chips?
