I'm wondering if there are suppose to be eggs in the recipe? These look great! Can't wait to try them.
ReplyDeleteNo eggs. You could try them but I think they would make a more cake like cookie, I like them chewy.
ReplyDeleteMay I ask what, in particular, makes you leery of using nuts on a daily basis? I've read different things, mostly about high oxalates, but I'm curious.
ReplyDeleteHi Meg,
ReplyDeleteAt the time I wrote this I had heard a lot about people who are prone to food allergies eating too many nuts and developing nut allergies, this was mostly accredited to lectins. I have not followed up on this research and I am sure a google search would yield tons of reading material. I do know you can greatly reduce the lectins by soaking and then drying the nuts. Good luck, and thanks for the comment. Karen
Dough came out very oily... Is it supposed to be like that? Also, the cookies don't spread out when cooking. I had to go back and flatten them into a cookie shape. Overall, not a very good recipe :\
ReplyDeleteI am sorry this recipe didn't turn out for you. I didn't have any problems with it. Did you use a liner on your cookie sheet? Perhaps that is why they did not spread out. Good luck to you, Karen
ReplyDeleteI just made this recipe today and it came out great! I used butter because I didn't have the coconut oil. I also did not use a silicon mat. The dough does look oily and I did have to "pat it" together on the cookie sheet but the cookies came out really nice! I didn't know you could use coconut flour without eggs! I am really glad I found this recipe!
ReplyDeleteI followed the recipe exactly except I added 1 egg. I flattened each cookie down with the palm of my hand and they turned out fantastic. I first had these cookies at a party and when my friend told me they were grain free I had to have the recipe. They are excellent with or without the egg but the ones I made with the egg held together a little better and I liked the texture a little better as well. I also made some a bit on the bigger side and I like the smaller ones better. Thank you! These are soooooo good!
ReplyDeleteI used swerve instead of honey, and added one egg to my first batch and then two eggs to the second batch. I also added a tablespoon of hemp seed and a teaspoon of Qia (chia seeds, buckweed, and hemp seeds). I love them, thanks for the recipe!
