Raspberry Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies

Coconut Cookie with Raspberry/Pomegranate Preserve


Coconut Cookies
4 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup coconut flour
1 cup sugar
4 tsp cream of tartar
1 TBS gelatin
4 pinches of sea salt
1 1/2 cups coconut flakes or shreds
 3/4 cup lecithin free dark chocolate chips
 Dollop of jam per cookie (optional)



I found this recipe online through a link from one blog to another blog.  I, of course, had to add my own twist to it.  Hence the addition of the gelatin and jam.  I think the next time I make them, I will use a little less coconut flour....and possibly more chocolate. ;)

Mix the wet ingredients first, then the dry ingredients in separate bowls.  Mix the 2 groups together and add the chocolate chips.  I used a ice cream scoop to form each cookie and then used the back to make an indentation for the jam.  I used the last of a raspberry preserve jar and some raspberry pomegranate.  The raspberry was slightly darker and thicker than the raspberry blend.  I think some orange marmalade would work well too.  I made some plain too, no jam, but they were a bit boring after eating one with the jam.

Bake at 350 for 10-14 minutes.  I think mine needed to go a little longer because of the jam.

  1. Raspberry and chocolate is such an excellent combination, adding coconut must really take these over the top. I'm trying this recipe. Thanks!

  4. I've always like thumbprint cookies and these are similar. I like that they have coconut oil and flour in them. In fact, I'd like to have one right now.
