Tiger nut chocolate chip cookies stacked on top of each other and placed on top of parchment papers

Tigernut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (Paleo, Grain & Gluten Free)

Tara Klippert
Same taste and texture as you would get with regular cookies, but without the grains, gluten, dairy and seed oils. Each one of these cookies also comes with 5 g of fiber. Most cookies can't say that!

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large bowl or stand mixer
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cup tigernut flour
  • 1/2 cup cassava flour
  • 3/4 cup organic cane sugar (or coconut palm sugar)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 3/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs (or flax eggs)
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (I recommend the Enjoy Life brand)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325 Fahrenheit
  • In a large mixing bowl, food processor or electric mixer, mix together your dry ingredients (except for chocolate chips).
  • Add all of your wet ingredients and mix together thoroughly. For the best results, try not to let your melted coconut oil sit for too long with your other wet ingredients. Your coconut oil may harden up alongside other cold ingredients.
  • Then add your chocolate chips and mix them in evenly.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form the cookie dough into roughly 12 evenly sized cookie dough balls. Feel free to press them down a bit with a fork or your hand.
  • Bake cookies for roughly 18 to 20 minutes. Your cookies will still appear soft, but will harden up after they have cooled and reached room temperature. If you like a crispier cookie, feel free to leave them in for an additional five minutes or so.
  • Transfer your cookies onto a cooling rack carefully. They will be really soft when they are still hot.
