Grain-Free Gluten-Free Cookies of Awesomeness

Yes, I’m still pregnant, still in Prodromal Labor… consistent contractions all day and night, but that’s just the “problem.” They’re not getting more intense, so… I’m left in limbo.

And what do people in limbo do?

Bake cookies!

(And make tomato basil sauce out of the TONS of tomatoes from our garden, but I didn’t take pictures of that.)

The Clever Mommy used my grain-free muffin/cupcake things as a jumping-off point for making yummy cookies. I, in turn, used her recipe as a jumping-off point for these cookies. I don’t have any almond butter in the house right now, so they’re made with peanut butter (the kind that’s just peanuts ground-up, no other ingredients). But I’m sure they’d work either way. These cookies are also sugar-free other than what’s in the chocolate chips (but you have complete control over how much chocolate or what % you use).

Grain-Free Gluten-Free Sugar-Free Cookies of Awesome

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

In a mixing bowl, combine:

  • 1/2 cup nut butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 4 packets of Truvia
  • 4 heaping teaspoons unsweetened dried shredded coconut
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • dark chocolate chips, as many as you feel like

Drop heaping teaspoonsful of dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet (I got 18 cookies out of this recipe) and bake 10-12 minutes. Cool and enjoy!

These cookies are really really tasty and feel like a treat, but as you can see they’re made with wholesome ingredients you can feel good about eating (or feeding to your kids). No nutritionally-void flour or insulin-spiking sugar in these babies. Have at it!

  • Yum. These might be worth making as I attempt to sway my wife over to eating a more paleo diet. Those seriously look so good.

    Yum, these look so good....only I hate the taste of Truvia, Splenda, Aspartame, ect. Could I sub sugar, or brown sugar? How much sugar is in those lil packets?

    Its good youre keeping busy. Hope to hear more progress soon. *hugs*

    My kids are all grown but my husband has blood sugar issues so I've been using liquid stevia and or xylitol in my limited baking. Xylitol is expensive but good for you and doesn't raise blood sugar and the liquid stevia is very potent, I use 3 drops in a cup of herbal tea. I've been making a recipe that uses cream cheese and whipped cream and fruit filling on a graham cracker crust for our family reunions and I use the xylitol and stevia and no one even knows until I tell them that there is no sugar in it. I plan to try these cookies but I will use a little xylitol and stevia and see how it goes.
    Thanks for your recipes.
    I had my last 3 children with a midwife and everything was great. You are doing the right thing.

    I just made them with 2 TBS of brown sugar, and it's just sweet enough! I don't do sugar subs either, so I just went with the brown sugar.

    Thanks! :D

    I'm not a big fan of alterna-flour baking, but I think I could definitely go for cookies made of nut butter, coconut, and chocolate!
  • Ok, I might make these just to eat the dough haha. Looks too good.
