I am so excited to share this Sunbutter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe! It is dairy free, egg free, gluten free, corn free, and soy free. So what’s in it then? Real ingredients that are easy to find now a days thankfully! We can have almonds and coconuts in our family…as of this post, but who knows! So this recipe does contain almond flour and coconut sugar & oil. It seems like new allergies are popping up every year in my family. So we continue to adapt.
For this recipe, there is just a little bit of Tiger Nut Flour in it. I highly recommend you use this flour in baked goods. It adds just the right amount of depth of flavor that I often find missing in some gluten free baked goods I have tried. My favorite place to buy this is on Amazon. I love the Anthony’s brand of organic gluten free flours. They always work so well for me in my baking.
The sunbutter I used was the Sunbutter brand and I bought it at Walmart. My daughter recently found out she’s allergic to peanuts, although, she’s never had a serious reaction. So, we decided to give this sunbutter a try. And the best way to try it was make cookies!
I like to make mini cookies because I like being able to say I ate 5 cookies, but really they were tiny, so it’s not that bad, right? You can experiment with a medium cookie scoop, but I haven’t personally tried it, so I can’t give an exact bake time for that. I would guess trying to add about 3-4 minutes to your bake time might work.
One important thing to note, is that there is 1 TBSP of water added AFTER you refrigerate your dough. For some reason, gluten free flour just doesn’t absorb water/moisture in traditional ways. And adding this little bit of water after fridge time makes a big difference in your ability to scoop your cookies. So don’t forget to add it otherwise your dough will be too crumbly to shape into balls of dough.

Ingredients
- 75 grams almond flour
- 13 grams buckwheat flour
- 3 grams tiger nut flour
- 1/4 C gluten free rolled oats
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp psyllium husk powder
- 1/8 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp chia seeds

Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, mix almond flour, buckwheat flour, tiger nut flour, oats, baking soda, pysillium husk powder, xanthan gum, and sea salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine chia seeds and 1 TBSP water. Let stand 1-2 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, add coconut sugar, slightly cooled coconut oil, chia see/water mixture, and sunbutter. Mix well with hand mixer using beater attachments.
- Add dry ingredients and mix well. Add mini dairy free chocolate chips and mix well. The dough will still appear crumbly and like it won't stick together unless you squish it together with your hands. Don't worry. After the fridge time, you will add that last TBSP of water.
- Cover bowl and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes.
- Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Prep sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Remove dough from fridge and add the remaining 1 TBSP of water. Mix well.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop 15 small cookie dough scoops onto the prepared sheet pan.
- Bake for 12 minutes on center oven rack. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Repeat for remaining dough. **I recommend only baking one sheet at a time and only baking on the center oven rack.
- This will make about 22 small cookies. If you want to make larger cookies, extend the bake time as you see fit.
