I just use the recipe on the bag but sub cashew butter for butter, use soy free choc chips (soyfreesales.com) If I have truly gluten free eggs I use those, if not egg replacer but oh eggs make a difference! I use part rice flour and part coconut OR rice flour w/ tapioca/potato starch. pinch xanthum gum….sometimes I add a little rice milk so its not too thick. I never really measure which does not help you….i have also found that ener-g foods baking powder really helps things to rise and be fluffy…..

Hi Nancy, are you just wanting a mix or do you mind making from scratch?

Dear Nancy:
Elaine Gottschall (Breaking the Vicious Cycle) has a great recipe for what she calls Monster Cookies. You can just delete the raisins and add dairy free chocolate chips. Also, substitute the butter for either ghee or coconut oil. Everyone loves these cookies - even those who are not gluten free.
Monster Cookies:
5 cups nut flour (I grind almonds)
1 cup raisins
1 cup walnut pieces
1 cup flaked unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup honey
2 beaten eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
Mix all ingredients. Drop by large tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Press flat with a buttered fork. Bake at 325 for 15 - 20 minutes.
Don't worry about someone saying that they don't like coconut. These cookies are so good that no one hardly notices the coconut. And, coconut is so immensely good for you, that it is a good idea to sneak it in whenever possible. All of my kids love it and eat it in hunks.

| Yes, the coconut flour is great and I use it a lot. However, it does absorb liquid differently than most flours, so you would have to adjust the liquid, which sometimes does not make a very good baked product. You can find fabulous coconut flour recipes on line and they already have the appropriate amount of liquid added, so there is no guessing. I order my coconut flour from Tropical Traditions. Their product is not only good, but they support small farmers for a fair price. Their website also has recipes. Keep us all posted about your cookie successes!
