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.

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.
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.
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.

Recipe
Goji Berry and Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
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

- 2 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut

- 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.

Brandee says
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.
Whole Food Bellies says
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.
