Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are good and good for you. Gluten-free, naturally sweetened, yum. Go ahead, try one.

For those of you looking for a dairy-free version, try my other chocolate chip cookie recipe which uses grapeseed oil instead of butter.

    I made the Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe from the Denver Post. Called for grapeseed oil, not butter. It was a flop–thin, spread out cookies that never held form, greasy on base. Used Bob’s Red Mill Almond Meal/flour, from blanched whole almonds. Any suggestions as to what went wrong?

    Hi Barbara,

    Thanks for your comment. This has actually happened to me once before with this recipe –although I have made it literally hundreds of times.

    Did you take the almond flour straight from the fridge? Was it cold? When I have done this the cookies turn out like yucky little pancakes, just the way you describe.

    Another possibility would be the type of salt you were using; I have had friends report less than good results when using kosher salt.

    Can you give me some more hints? I would like to help you out with this and want you to have cookie success.

    hi elana - i do love the cookies and they’re so easy to make. there are two chocolate chip cookie recipes; one calls for 10tbl of butter and 1c chocolate chips and the other calls for 1/2c grapeseed oil and 1/2c chocolate chips. which do you recommend?

    Hi Reveka -Thanks for stopping by. Since I am now on a DF eating plan I would say go with the recipe calling for grapeseed oil and less chips –that’s the staple in our house these days. :-)

    I recently made ginger cookies with almond flour/meal instead of all purpose flour (swapped 1:1 in a recipe), with the result being that they tasted great, but never firmed up. In fact, each ball melted into the next one until it turned into one giant sheet of cookies. Could this be because I used almond flour instead of AP flour, or maybe because I used butter instead of shortening (again, swapped 1:1)?

    David-
    Sounds like you are getting some experience in experimenting with recipes. This takes a lot of practice and patience. I don’t have any formulas –I just keep trying again and again until I get it right!

    Hello Elana! I am in Florida at the moment visiting my mother. My mother and I try to get away one week out of the year for a beach trip. No husbands, just us girls. I just saw my grandparents which is a very rare occasion. My nanny is so intrigued by the natural products I brought with me… almond flour, agave, sea salt, etc. Last night my nanny and I stayed up late making your chocolate chip cookies together. This was such a special moment for me. I couldn’t have made this connection with her had it not been for your website. I am sure she will not be around very much longer. Her health is fading quickly. We just laughed, tasted and had an incredible evening. As I disappeared to get ready for bed I came back into the kitchen to cover the cookies. The cookies had quickly gone from a whole pan to a plate full… My papa just sat in the recliner with a big smile on his face. Apparently he enjoyed them, too! Thanks so much. I will connect with you again soon.

    I recently found this site and am drooling over the recipes I’ve not tried yet. My concern is that I’m a type 1 Diabetic/Celiac on an insulin pump and keep track of ALL my carbohydrates and Calories. Is there a way for me to decipher what they are in your recipes?

    Thanks so much!

    Lynn,

    I don’t have a solution for you currently; however if you look at my FAQ’s, you will see that when my cookbook comes out, nutrition info will be provided.

    Thanks,
