    These Goji Berry and Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies are part cookie, part muffin, and part coconut macaroon. Superfood cookies to the extreme, they are also grain-free and a super easy recipe to get the kids involved in. No stand mixer or beating required.

    Goji Berry and Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

    You guys these Triple Coconut Chocolate Chip Goji Berry Cookies (try saying that three times fast) are awesome!

    They are part cookie, part muffin, and part coconut macaroon (not to be confused with the fancy french macaron), and they are so delicious and moreish.

    Jam packed full of all the good superfoods like:

    • coconut oil,
    • coconut flour, 
    • goji berries
    • and unsweetened dark chocolate chips.

    They are just perfect for staving off those sugar cravings that always seem to hit when 3pm rolls along.

    They also make a great little 'anytime' cookie to enjoy with a cuppa  🙂

    NOTE: if goji berries aren't something you typically have on hand then feel free to switch them out with some other small dried fruit. Dried blue berries are bursting with antioxidants so they would work a treat here. Sultanas work well also.

    Or you can grab some here:

    How To Make Cookies With Coconut Flour

    Coconut flour is a bit different to normal flour, it cannot be used in a 1:1 swap if you are trying to substitute in a recipe.

    As a general rule of thumb, where a recipe calls for 1 cup of regular wheat flour, only ¼-1/3 cup of coconut flour will be required as it is quite thirsty.

    It is also a grain-free and low-carb flour, so it can be great for people following specific diets.

    If you haven't tried baked goods with coconut flour before, just note that they will have a different texture. Less fine, and more robust if that makes sense?

    Coconut flour crumbles a lot more than a normal flour cookie would on coming out of the oven so please be sure to let them rest for a bit so they don't fall apart when you try to eat them.

    Make sure the coconut oil is melted so that your mixture is wet enough.

    When you first mix the batter together it is going to seem too wet to roll into cookies.
    Coconut flour is a very thirsty flour and once it has been allowed to sit for a minute it will absorb all of that extra moisture and will easily roll.

    Wet your hands to be able to roll the cookies without them sticking to your hands.
    You want about a tablespoon of the mixture.
    Roll into a ball and then press down lightly with a fork before sprinkling on some coconut.

    Need More Cookie Recipes?

    These were a huge hit with the kids, especially after I started calling the goji's 'red raisins' for the little one.

    We are all about the raisins right now, and you have to go with whatever works, right?

    Now, do you need more cookie recipes or more coconut flour sweets? Of course you do:

    • Banana Coconut Cookies
    • Flourless Refined Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
    • Chocolate Pecan and Pomegranate Dark Chocolate Cookies
    • Healthy No-Bake Brownies with Peanut Salted Caramel
    • Pecan Dark Choc Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
    • The Simplest Banana Oatmeal Cookies

    Whip these coconut flour chocolate chip cookies up for a quick and satisfying afternoon treat and you will have a happy wee belly.

    Calories 152 kcal

    Ingredients
      

    • ⅓ cup coconut flour
    • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
    • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 2 whole eggs
    • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
    • ¼ cup Goji berries
    • 2 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat
    • Whisk together the coconut flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, salt and eggs. It may seem runny to start with but the batter will thicken as the coconut flour absorbs the moisture from the other ingredients
    • Fold in the chocolate chips and goji berries
    • Using a tablespoon at a time, take some batter and roll it into a ball. Pu the ball onto the baking sheet and press lightly with a fork. Sprinkle on some of the shredded coconut.
    • Bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden at the edges
    • Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

    Notes

    Try and let the cookies cool down before eating as they will be a bit crumbly coming straight from the oven.
    If the mixture is too sticky to roll then let it sit for a minute or two for the coconut flour to absorb the moisture from the other ingredients.
    You may want to wet your hands to make rolling the balls of batter easier.
    Store in an airtight container.

      Oh those sound yummy for sure! My problem with gojis is the pits I always seem to get. 😉 Are they more of a chewy or crunchy texture? Thanks for sharing them.

        Once they are baked they have a chewy texture - kinda like raisins in a cookie. Ugh I can imagine pits would put you off though - I have never had that problem (yet anyway) luckily.

    Hello and welcome, I'm Donna!

    I am so glad you are here!

    Since I have a part-time job, 3 little kids, and a love of good food (as do you I assume), I have learned how to get the most out of the kitchen in the smallest amount of time.

    Forget about hunting down weird ingredients and making trips to specialty shops.

    We are going to make the most of what is available at the store and farmer's markets all whilst enjoying some delicious meals the whole family (hopefully...if you have fussy eaters I guarantee nothing) will enjoy.

    Pop on that apron and let's get creative in the kitchen!
