Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies
These FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES are so good! Made with no butter, no refined white sugar, and no flour. So delicious & good you wouldn’t even think they were healthier, even though they are!
It sounds like an oxymoron, but trust me, they are the best cookies ever. There are a couple of tricks for making these incredible thick, chewy, and soft-baked flourless chocolate chip cookies.
After the holidays come and go, I still have a sweet tooth. You would think I had enough cookies and sweet treats, but nope. However, my body is telling me I need to lay off of the desserts. I am still in love with these white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. I think a healthier and flourless version is needed. What do you say?
So let’s bake cookies that are a little healthier for you to satisfy your sweet tooth. You won’t even miss the traditional butter loaded; flour packed, and sugar-loaded cookies. Trust me.
A couple of tricks to make these cookies turn out amazing. Please measure all of the ingredients correctly. Too much oat flour will make the cookies dry and crumbly. The coconut oil is a must. It’s what binds the cookies together, so please do not substitute any other oil for the coconut oil. Oat flour is old-fashioned oats pulsed in a food processor until it resembles flour.
When measuring out the cookie dough, use a cookie scoop and make sure you tightly packed the cookie scoop. After I measure it out, I pressed it again my palm, making sure it’s packed tightly, then release the cookie dough onto the baking sheet. Other than that, they are easy and tasty!

Notes
**Oat flour is pulsed old-fashioned oats in a food processor. Measure the oat flour after it's been pulsed.
I tried this recipe and my friends loved it. I love your site!!
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad to hear that you liked this recipe, my hope is that you’ll take a look around to find more that you love just as well.
Can I use vegetable oil instead of coconut oil thanks
My wife just made these last night and they turned out great!
She improvised a bit, too. Yummy!
Thanks for the great idea!

These were good, but there was a strange bitter taste that came through in bites that didn’t have chips. I think it’s the baking soda. Could I use less? I might try 1/2 tsp and see if they still turn out. Thanks for this great idea!!
Those cookies look delicious. Giving them a shot, as oatmeal/chocolate chip is a favorite.
But, just a heads up: brown sugar is made by refining sugar, then adding molasses back to the white sugar when they are done. Maybe substitute turbinado or evaporated cane juice instead?
I don’t own a cookie scoop! Is there something else I could use?!
You can use a 1 tablespoons measuring spoon. A heaping tablespoon is about the same size as a cookie scoop bowl. 🙂
What can you substitute for the coconut oil if you have an allergy?
These cookies look absolutely delicious. I haven’t tried cooking with coconut oil yet, these cookies really do seem the perfect way to start. Thank you for sharing such a fab recipe. Sammie
