I feel like I should be posting the caramel pumpkin oat cookies I made instead of these Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies. Everywhere I look, it's pumpkin everything. I mean I REALLY love pumpkin, but I will not be pressured by social media.

Truthfully, I made two cookie recipes before surgery and loved them both so much I couldn't make up my mind which one to post first. Eventually I decided to save the pumpkin recipe for next month.

Pumpkin technically is around all winter, right? At this rate, I'll be posting those recipes until February so not to worry friends. The pumpkin avalanche is coming!

    I had high hopes for these cookies. My wife is going low-carb. I decided to make this recipe but substituted Almond Flour for the coconut flour, and used peanut butter in place of almond butter. Unfortunately, they were not edible. Fell apart, the texture and taste was pretty bad (my fault). Next time I'll stick to the recipe. Hope to try again soon and see how they turn out.

      Oh no! Well, yeah that's kind of a completely different recipe from mine. Inspiring me to come up with one though that's nut butter based. Stayed tuned Josh!

      You can try sunflower butter for a nut free version. They may turn a funky color though with the baking soda.

    I made these with almond butter and doubled the recipe. They taste good but the dough had to be rolled and squeezed in my hand so that they would hold together. After baking they did stay in one piece however were kind of dry. I used 2 eggs in my doubling. Would you give me some pointers as to what to add or change for next time? Hard to get cashew butter in Bisbee. I used Bob's coconut flour also.

      You can always make your own cashew butter. It's super easy just toss cashews in a blender or food processor and let them go for 15 minutes or so. Otherwise almond butter or peanut butter works too. As for coconut flour, you have to measure it carefully by spooning it into the measuring cup otherwise you'll get too much, and coconut flour is super absorbent. I personally don't like Bob's. I use this one. Also, be careful not to over mix when using coconut flour. It's really a finicky flour so if they were dry then perhaps you squeezed the dough too much or over mixed.

    I tried these,with a few variations: (1) I used one whole egg instead of 2 egg whites (didn't want to waste the yolk) ; (2) I added roughly 3/4 of a Tbsp of gluten (a powder sold with in groceries alongside the alternative flours; I don't have ciliac disease, gluten is 75% protein, and it helps the batter hold together) (3) roughly 1/3 cup of non-sugar sweetener (I used something called Isomalt, but next time I will try Splenda because the grain of the Isomalt is a bit coarse) and (4) I used almond butter.
    The batter was disgusting. It looked curdled, didn't hold together at all, and was sitting in a pool of almond oil. I had to squeeze oil out of each cookie to have any hope of them turning into cookies rather than a mess of cooked crumbs. BUT when baked they were beautiful, had the consistency of a real chewy cookie, and tasted almost wonderful. I will use a little more sweetener next time and they will hopefully be truly great. Can't imagine using NO sweetener, however.

      Wow that's a lot of variations. Using a non sugar sweetener will definitely change the consistency of the batter especially with coconut. I've made these for clients and they love them. I went sugar free several years ago (non sugar sweeteners are actually just as bad for you as real sugar) and now I can't tolerate a lot of sweetness. The chocolate chips are the sweetener if you will.

    Can I just use two regular eggs instead of just two egg whites?

    Reply
    • Megan says

      April 06, 2017 at 10:12 am

      You could use 1 regular egg. Two egg whites equal one egg.

    If I was just doing it for a low carb diet could I substitute the coconut oil for butter?

      You should be able to. I haven't tried it. Coconut oil is low carb too you know.

    These sound great! My favorite thing to bake is usually brownies, and I have to say I do love a good pumpkin-flavored baked dish. But it's nice to have something non-pumpkin related in the mix too!

    Hmm... I'm kind of a both and; I don't mind doing all the pumpkin things, but I like doing other recipes too. These look really good and your description of them sounds AMAZING! Nut butter is magical when it comes to making cookies buttery tasting.
