Chocolate Chip Cookies Gluten and Dairy Free


Whether it’s a classroom treat for my kids or a quick and easy dessert recipe for a party I’m hosting, I am always looking for allergen-friendly cookie recipes.

These soft and chewy chocolate cookies are both gluten and dairy-free relying on one very special ingredient: coconut flour.

Gluten and Dairy Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you’re hosting friends and family this holiday season, or gifting cookies for neighbors, this soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe is perfect for anyone who may be gluten sensitive or lactose intolerant.

Full disclosure: baking frightens me but after recent success with my Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies made with almond flour, I decided to give it another go with coconut flour. Since I wanted to use coconut oil instead of butter, I decided to make them completely dairy-free by using Enjoy Life mini chips which are both gluten and dairy-free. And quite tasty, might I add!

Whether you are gluten-free, dairy-free or simply want a healthier chocolate chip cookie, you will not be disappointed with these babies! My husband ate two of them in 90 seconds and believe me, he could care less that these are made with heart-healthy coconut oil.

If you’ve never worked with coconut flour before, it’s important to note that coconut flour is very absorbent which is why very little is needed to make a large batch of cookies. I always notice that if the batter sits for a few minutes, it immediately firms up as the coconut flour absorbs the liquid.

Have I convinced you to try these cookies yet? Your family is waiting.

Liz’s Notes

If batter is too watery, let the coconut flour expand for 3-4 minutes and stir again with the rubber spatula.
Due to the coconut flour, it is important not over cook. Cookies should be soft when they come out at 12 minutes. Let rest for a minute before transfer to a cooling rack.

    OMG….love this recipe. I used coconut sugar instead of date sugar. Next time I will use less coconut milk to see what the consistency is like, but really like this cakey consistency. This is as close as I’m going to get to any white flour recipe. I’m a happy camper today!!!

    I reduce the coconut milk by half, I had read in another article online about using coconut flour, that when using melted fat (coconut oil) to reduce the liquid by half. I tried both ways as written above and reducing the liquids and I preferred the texture of the reduced liquid option. Great recipe either way. Thanks!

    I just tried this and it came out all runny :( It was so liquidy that I had to add more coconut flour otherwise it was just soup. I followed the directions as well so I don’t know what went wrong. Tastes good tho!

      I am so sorry to hear this Denise!! I’m going to work on this recipe to find out what the problem is for others. As you can see in my photo – the batter is not at all runny. Thank you for letting me know – I so appreciate the feedback!!

    Do you think I could substitute date sugar for something else? I haven’t been able to find it anywhere!

        I can’t figure out why it was runny – as you can see in my photo the batter was not runny!! I’m going to work on this again and update the recipe. Forgive me!

    Newly diagnosed food intolrerances with 2 of my kids has made my cooking for a family of 5 a nightmare. I can’t bake with almond flour because I can’t send it to the kids nut free school. This recipe is so easy and awesome. It is one that my whole family enjoys, thanks for sharing:)

    The only thing I will add to this is you have to make the batter quickly or the coconut oil will harden again and then it just turns into chunks in your batter.
