We are in a cookie coma over here.

These cookies were inspired by our beloved soft and thick coconut flour chocolate chip cookies. We adore that recipe so much and many of you did too. So, we decided to recreate them by making them starch-free. We replaced the arrowroot flour with tigernut flour. Why?  Because we can 😉  Okay, honestly, we wanted to see how they would turn out with tigernut instead of arrowroot. We don’t have anything against using starches, but in this case tigernut is a tuber.

I haven’t ever worked with tigernut flour, but the fig and lemon combination sounds so delicious that I may have to give it a try. Yum!

I’m doing a food allergy elimination diet right now and these actually look like they’d comply! I don’t have monk fruit at my house. Is it essential to the recipe, or can i simply leave it out? Thanks!

You could leave it out.

The monk fruit powder is expensive….any cheaper recommendations or substitutions?

purelytwins August 19, 2015 - 1:33 pm
