I’ve been trying to create a gluten free + grain free cookie that doesn’t spike your blood sugar levels AND tastes like a real cookie. I didn’t think it was possible but I think I did it.

Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Makes 12 cookies

Ingredients

5 tablespoons organic butter*

2 tablespoons organic agave nectar or raw honey

1/4 cup coconut sugar

1 egg

1½ teaspoons vanilla

1½ cups chestnut flour

¼ cup coconut flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ cup dark chocolate chunks

¼ cup dried cranberries (preferably unsweetened)

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F./ 180°C

In a small bowl mix the chestnut and coconut flours, baking soda and sea salt. Set aside

Using an electric mixer cream the butter and coconut sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, vanilla and agave.  Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in the chocolate and cranberries.

Drop tablespoon-size balls of dough on a baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Using the palm of your hand, flatten the cookies to the thickness you desire.

Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8-10 minutes.

*If you are vegan you can use coconut oil. I usually use it for most of my baking, but for these cookies, I found the butter was better.
