Elana,
So grateful for all your creativity and your delicious recipes . I’ve been cooking with almond flour for the past few years but unfortunately have developed a nut and egg sensitivity But I’m dying for some chocolate chip cookies or a good cookie recipe . Do you have a cookie recipe that does not use eggs and does not use a nut flour ? i’m going to make your peanut butter balls tonight but would love to have a cookie or muffin recipe to make that is not made with nut flour or eggs . I can tolerate coconut flour but cannot tolerate arrowroot or cassava, nothing starchy. I’m on the SCD, but also cannot eat eggs or nuts or nut flours. Can you help?
Thank you for all your Genius recipes.

Elaine, first of all, thanks for your super sweet comment. Second, I don’t have any cookies or muffins that are egg-free, nut-free, and SCD. I’m linking to my Nut-Free Dessert Recipes page for you to look through. A number of those desserts are also egg-free.

Made these a several times couple years ago using coconut oil because I didn’t have grapeseed oil (and have plenty enough other oils that I couldn’t justify buying yet another type). The dough was a bit oily but the cookies kept their shape and didn’t spread out too much. I did refrigerate the dough for about 15 minutes or so the second time on a very hot day and it helped. They came out fantastic; my teenage stepson loved them, my husband (a meat and potatoes guy) loved them, and they never lasted long in our house. They were just delicious!
I am making them today using unsalted butter as an experiment and I thought I’d leave a very appreciative post in the meantime.
Thanks, Elana!

Love this recipe! So I didn’t read the instructions and bought almond meal instead…so I followed the rest of the recipe and used coconut oil and chopped a few squares of 72% chocolate bar instead of chocolate chips. I also added in an egg. The result? Cookies that are soft and have the texture of an oatmeal cookie – slightly chewy. Thanks for the recipe!!
