‘Peanut’ Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (Nut-Free!)

IMG_5991_WM

I’m pretty excited to be offering a nut-free recipe to you today. It was recently brought to my attention on Facebook just how many of you are actually nut-free as well. I am forced to rely heavily on nuts as I am not only grain-free, but also mostly starch-free as well. I cannot use any potato, tapioca, arrowroot, quinoa, or bean flours. I am, in a sense, worthless without my nut and coconut flours.

This recipe uses a small amount of coconut flour, but the sunflower seed butter is really the star in this cookie. I know this peanut butter substitute is widely used by people with nut allergies, but I actually don’t like the taste of it all on its own. Even still, I was determined to make this cookie so I gave it a shot. Once it is baked, it really does taste like peanut butter! I had to give these cookies away to friends and family just to get them out of the house because I was eating them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

 

 

If you’re unfamiliar with coconut palm shortening, it’s really not as scary as it sounds. If you’re like me, “shortening” is synonymous with “Crisco,” but that’s not the case. Organic Palm Shortening is palm oil that has some of its unsaturated fats removed, giving it a very firm texture, and high melting point. I use it in my cookie recipes frequently because of it’s high melting point and mild flavor. It makes cookies chewy and they don’t flatten out when baking like cookies often do with coconut oil. It is not hydrogenated and contains no trans fats. You can read more about it here if you’re still skeptical. You can also purchase it at your health foods store instead of online. Just make sure to find one that is expeller pressed and preferably organic.

Also, sunbutter baked goods have the tendency to turn green once they’ve cooled. This is due to a reaction between the baking soda and the chlorophyll that lingeres in the seeds once they’ve been extracted from the flower. It’s not harmful, actually quite the opposite. It can increase the efficiency and the quantity of your red blood cells, although there’s probably not enough chlorophyll in these cookies to make much of a difference. The lemon juice in this recipe should help do the trick to keep your cookies brown and not turning bright green inside, but I assume it probably depends on what kind of sunbutter you use and how much chlorogenic acid is left in the seeds.  Keeping them in the refrigerator will also help the color and the texture.

Ingredients (yields 1 dozen)

¼ cup organic palm shortening
¼ cup sunbutter, unsweetened*
1 egg, room temperature
2 tbs honey
2 tbs palm sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
¾ tsp lemon juice
2 tbs + 2 teaspoons coconut flour
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ cup dark chocolate pieces (omit for SCD)
¼ cup Enjoy Life chocolate chips(omit for SCD)

*You can use peanut butter in this recipe, but omit the lemon juice and increase the baking soda to 3/4 teaspoon.

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the shortening, sunbutter, and egg for 1 minute on medium-high.

Add the honey, palm sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix again until combined.

Add the coconut flour and baking soda. Mix on medium for 30 seconds. Let the dough sit for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to soak up some of the moisture.

Scrape down the sides and mix again for 30 seconds until fully incorporated.

Stir the chocolate in by hand.

Use a cookie scoop or large tablespoon to drop balls of the dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Very lightly press them down to flatten the tops and make circles with about 1 inch thickness.

Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes, until browned around the edges.

Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!

    Do you think that soaking sunflower seeds overnight and then blending them would create a good substitution for store-bought sunbutter?

    • Against All Grain says:

      As far as I understand, soaked nuts need to be dehydrated first before making butter out of them or it will contain too much moisture for baking with. You can grind sunflower seeds in a high speed blender to make sun butter.

  2. Those look amazing! I don’t have any nut allergies but I’d still like to be able to try these. I live in Germany and I think it’s pretty safe to say that we don’t have that type of shortening nor can I get it online. So I’ll just bookmark it for now. They look so very yummy, though. :)

  3. Lorraine says:

    When do you add the lemon juice – with the honey, palm sugar, and vanilla extract?

  4. Drea says:

    Those cookies look amazing! And I hate to rain on the parade, but palm oil is really bad news and should be avoided (sorry!)
    Plantations for palm are destroying large areas of rain forests, contributing to climate change, and endangering orangutans and other life.
    Just thought you should know!
    CNN: Profitable palm oil leaves environment poor

  5. I am so happy to see a nut free recipe! I love your blog and always drool at the pictures, but I rarely eat nuts so I cannot do any of your almond flour recipes. Since I follow the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, I am also grain-free and starch-free. I usually rely on coconut flour, shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin puree in baked goods. Thanks for the yummy-looking recipe!

    • Against All Grain says:

      So happy to have created something for the nut-free group! SCD is already so limited and relies so heavily on nuts, I’m happy to be able to help!

  6. Vicky says:

    Your recipes always shine Danielle, you are very gifted ! I love the look of these though I’m not able to buy sunbutter here easily! I don’t expect it will be long before we catch on over here though!

  7. Marla says:

    These cookies are amazing!! One of the best I’ve made since going grain free 3 years ago! Question though – I missed putting in the lemon juice because it wasn’t listed in the directions. At what point should that be added? And the good news is they are great even w/out the lemon juice!

    • Against All Grain says:

      Sorry I fixed that! It should go in with the wet ingredients but it doesn’t really matter when you add it in. Did they not turn green on you? The lemon juice is there to offset the reaction that the sunflower seeds have with the baking soda which can turn baked goods green after baking!

  8. Nicole says:

    I am loving your site. I am supper excited because I love to cook but grains and starches cause me to gain weight quickly and cause my acid reflex to kick in big time. I am so happy I found this site before the holidays kick in.

  9. caiti says:

    I try to be nut free as well since nuts make me bloat. I just finished soaking and dehydrating some organic raw sunflower seeds so I cannot wait to try this!! Also miss pb. Its just gonna be finding coconut palm shortening that will be really tough.

  10. Natalie says:

    These look so delicious! It is tough cooking around all the allergies. I can use some coconut products but not coconut flour! But I know I can work with it and find a replacement for that. Thanks for the great info on palm shortening – I had learned about it before and found that it wasn’t like icky crisco but I did not know about its baking properties. Good to know!

  11. Spencer says:

    Looks absolutely delicious! I reckon I could eat the whole tray in 5 minutes flat!

  12. Sue says:

    I Live in Australia and I cannot find palm oil shortening anywhere. I can get organic palm oil but not the shortening. Do you have suggestions for a substitute?

    thanks

  13. Jen says:

    Just made these, thank you! Really interesting dough texture, quite unique, came out splendid. Very easy recipe, but you might want to add a note about when to add the lemon juice. I added it with the honey & vanilla. I agree sun butter isn’t always the tastiest, this is a great recipe to incorporate it and not be overwhelmed by it’s flavour. I also loved that there was no almond flour because I’m out til next week! : )

    • Jen says:

      Uhhhhh so after letting them sit about 30 min my boyfriend and I just both grabbed another one, each took one bite and froze… they’re bright, St Paddy’s day green on the inside! Any ideas? ha ha We still ate them, I figure it might be a reaction of the lemon juice with something? My boyfriend asked if I put weed in them. Nope! Let me know if you have any thoughts on this… thanks!!! : )

      • Against All Grain says:

        Hey Jen – the lemon juice is supposed to offset that green color but I’ve never had them be THAT green!! From what I read prior to making these, there’s Chlorogenic acid from the sunflower that is released after reacting to the baking soda. It’s not harmful and is found in all plant stems, but the sunflower seeds themselves have it in it. I guess the different brands of sunbutter could have more or less maybe? Try adding a little more lemon juice but don’t go overboard or you’ll taste it. Maybe another 1/4-1/2 teaspoon. Love your boyfriends question. that is hilarious.

        • Jenny says:

          Bonus: no one at work is trying to steal my treats today! ; ) I wonder if different brands of baking soda could affect the colour, also I used bottled organic lemon juice, not fresh, that might make a difference. Either way I don’t really care, they’re delicious!

  14. Cara says:

    thanks for the tip on the palm shortening! I would love to try that in my next batch of cookies.

  15. Thanks for this- I bought a jar of sunflower butter and really don’t care for the taste- so now I can use it to make these and it won’t just sit in my pantry ;)

  16. Barbara says:

    Can you use cocoa butter instead of palm oil ?

    • Against All Grain says:

      Hi Barbara- I hadn’t thought of that sub actually but I think that would work better than coconut oil or dairy butter because of it’s higher melting point. I love using cacao butter in baked goods! Did you see my chocolate cherry muffins?

  17. Samantha says:

    so the greenness got me thinking…do you think adding peppermint extract and leaving out the lemon juice would create an aptly colored mint chocolate chip cookie?! pleasepleaseplease, because, thatwouldbeamazing. i plan on making these tonight for the first time so having not tasted them, i have no idea if that would work or not. thoughts? mmmmm, mint chocolate chip…

    • Against All Grain says:

      hmm the sunflower butter is pretty strong in taste so you’d get more of a peanut butter mint chocolate chip cookie which in my opinion doesn’t sound very good. But it’s worth a try!

  18. amber says:

    Love this recipe, Danielle. They look delicious. Great job!

  19. Jordan says:

    Hi! These look delicious! Is palm sugar SCD legal? I thought it wasn’t. What can we use to substitute instead? Thanks! Love your site!!!

    • Against All Grain says:

      It’s one of those on the fence ones to me. All other forms of coconut are legal so I use it but not very often. It gives these cookies a chewy texture on the inside and slight crunch on the outside but I think you could do all honey if you want to be careful.

  20. Heather Strom says:

    I have a little boy who would ADORE green cookies. I plan on leaving the lemon juice out, but should I add more of some other liquid or increase any of the dry ingredients? It sounds like other people were successful with just leaving the lemon juice out so I will probably just chance it…

  21. Rachel says:

    Definitely the best grain free cookies I have made!

  22. Nicole says:

    These cookies are SO GOOD!!! I can’t believe they taste better than traditionally made cookies. YAY!!! =)))

  23. Thank you so much for sharing another wonderful recipe at last week’s AFW. I am featuring it on my site at this week’s blog hop. As a part of the feature, I also mention it on Facebook and pin it to pinterest. You can find the feature here:

    We hope you’ll share with us again this week!

    Michelle @ The Willing Cook

  24. Ashley says:

    My only problem with this recipe is that it only makes a dozen cookies! ;-)

    I used peanut butter, & they are delish!

  25. rita says:

    Hi! i´m looking forward to make this cookies but I live in Portugal and I can´t find the palm shortening here. Can I use coconut oil instead?
    Thanks!!!

    • Against All Grain says:

      You can try it but the texture will not be as chewy. I would use grass-fed butter first if you can handle dairy

  26. Ann Stark says:

    Finally figured out an egg free version. I used a total of 4 T. coconut flour and added 1 T. ground chia seeds and everything else the same. Wow – these are yummy!!! Thank you for all of your hard work on this site – it is so inspiring!

  27. Christie says:

    I’m sooooooo happy to have found your blog! I’m about to go onto the GAPS diet soon (wants to do SCD fully, but I really like chocholate/cocoa…so :) well, :D ). But, seeing those paleo buns that looked like regular hamburger buns made me smile. When a person’s on a limited diet, it’s the little things that make your day. And the cookies look delicious!!!

  28. Michele says:

    Have you tried the Lacanto sweetener by Body Ecology? What do you think of it?

  29. Andrea Dittmore says:

    Would you be able to use almond butter instead and coconut manna as a replacement for the palm shortening?

  30. Val Gourlas says:

    I tried making these and although they tasted GREAT they spread out like pancakes on the cookie sheet. I want for them to look like your picture!!! I live at sea level…any ideas to keep them together? Should I just add more coconut flour?

    • Against All Grain says:

      Hmmm I’ve never had them spread out! I always have to push them down a little before baking because otherwise they don’t move at all. Did you use palm shortening? I’m in California so our altitudes are similar. If you try more coconut flour, don’t use much. Maybe 1 tbl.

  31. Thea says:

    Looks awesome! Is there something else I can use aside from coconut flour? I can’t have coconut flour, would hazelnut flour work? I’m also grain-free.

    Thanks.

    • Against All Grain says:

      Coconut flour is super absorbent so you can try to sub but it won’t be an even swap. You’ll need more of whichever nut flour you chose.

  32. Dorota says:

    I was at my Natural Path’s website and came across this blog and I am super happy that I did. II just made these cookies and they are delicious!!!!! My husband tired them and he loves them as well! Thank you for sharing this! I definitely will be making more of these cookies!!!

  33. Nicole Ball says:

    I made these cookies tonight for my sons school bday party. They smell and taste wonderful. One problem, they completely fall apart…help. I have to make them tonight and the school is completely nut free. Please feel free to email me.
    Sincerely, desperate mom!

    • Against All Grain says:

      Did you follow the instructions and ingredients exactly? Unfortunately, everyone else that has made them have had great success.

      • Nicole Ball says:

        I made a second batch and they turned out better, still a but flimsy but better. I made sure to follow the directions exactly with one exception. I had to use all “enjoy life” Choc chips because the dark chocolate bar I was using was made around peanuts and a girl in my sons class is SUPER allergic to nuts. So I’m not sure what I did wrong, maybe some air bubbles in the shortening made for less that I needed? More shortening would make them stick together better…right? Anyway, my son LOVED them and the whole class gobbled them down so success for sure! Sincerely, Nicole

        • Against All Grain says:

          I don’t think a few air bubbles would make much of a difference. Were there dry and crumbly or just crumbly? Try storing them in the fridge to firm them up too.

    these look amazing :)

  39. Monique C. M. says:

    This is my favorite recipe from your site! Coconut is just about the only flour I can use so it’s great to find good recipes. I rarely eat desserts so I increased the oil e decreased the sweetness (I used maple syrup). Also, I used half Enjoy Life chips, and half chopped unsweetened dark chocolate. The bitter flavor is not for everyone but I loved them!
    Thank you!!!

  40. Sandy Anderson says:

    YUM!!

  41. Miranda Huffman says:

    Love the recipe, I’m excited to switch from organic buckwheat flour to coconut flour hopefully soon!

  42. Sarah says:

    could you use all sunbutter instead of shortening? peanut butter cookies don’t have flour in them so just wondering if it would produce similar effect?

  43. Samantha m. says:

    This looks SO yummy! Will be making soon.

  44. TizS says:

    This recipe looks awesome, and since I am virtually nut free, this may be one I can try! Yay! The picture looks amazing… Yum! Thank You!!! Crossing my fingers for your drawing today :-)

  121. Jama Sandoval says:

    These look awesome! Two questions . . . . can more honey or maple syrup be subbed for the palm sugar, and does the lemon juice keep the sunflower seed butter from turning green? I always have that problem in baked goods that call for sunflower seed butter.

  122. Ashley Bueker says:

    So exciting! These look delicious and I love tropical traditions! ( and you, of course!)

  123. Brittney welch says:

  126. Chrystal says:

    Looks soooo yumms. On my weekend to-bake list this weekend.

  153. Amy Cook says:

    These look delicious! I have been looking for a recipe that will use some of these ingredients. I have been worried about the palm issue too…it is something that should be checked in to but I think there are places that do it right.

  154. Rowan Fairgrove says:

    These look amazing. I’ll look for palm oil shortening. I use coconut oil in many things but having something more solid would expand the range of baked goods. Can’t wait to try these!

  155. Kaitlin says:

    I cant wait to make these!! I also want to win this give away…:)

  156. Jelena says:

    This looks really yummy! All I need to do is to figure out how to get palm shortening in Hungary (and how to say it in Hungarian :) . Is there anything else that can be used instead of it? And can I double the amount of honey instead of using palm sugar? Thanks! Your recipes are helping me staying on track with my diet :)

  157. Tabitha says:

    It looks like I need to get some palm shortening! I love peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!

  171. Samantha says:

    i’ve made these cookies at least half a dozen times and LOVE how easily they lend themselves to variations – orange extract + cocoa powder, pecan + partial apple sauce substitution, bacon + chocolate chip, and even PB+J sandwiches (and by PB i mean sun butter :) ).

  172. Stephanie Arsnow says:

    They look fabulous! Can’t wait to try them…

    It will be great to try something new. I rely very heavily on almond flour. Thanks for your great recipes, they’ve improved my children’s attitude toward whole foods dramatically!

  190. Janine says:

    sounds like a perfect cookie for St. Paddys day without the lemon juice! I have a grain free pancake that I make using sunflower flour(along with almond and coconut flours) that turns vibrant green within a few hours (we make extras for “sandwiches”), I am going to try the lemon juice trick next time and see if it helps! Thanks for the tip!

  191. PaulaB says:

    I shared on Facebook with the suggestion to leave out the lemon juice for perfectly natural green cookies for St. Patrick’s Day. Would love to win the Trop. Traditions giveaway!

  192. Jil says:

    You know I will be making these ASAP!!! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes! Thank you for sponsoring a give away too… yay!

  232. I haven’t tried these yet, but I’m interested in trying out the sunbutter. They look yummy!

  233. Marie Schiber says:

    I like my nuts, but these do sound yummy. I’d like to learn to use tahini more often as well.

  239. Dana M says:

    I’ve made these twice now. I made them for my son and another boy in the scout troop who are g/f. They never get to have sweet treats when the troop has special occasions. We had to pull them off of the table because folks were gobbling them up, and the boys who needed them hadn’t had a chance to have them. Next time I’ll have to make extra :)

  240. Katie says:

    Would love to win the giveaway! :)

  241. Peggy G. says:

    With a daughter with a peanut allergy and a son who loves sunbutter, these are a must!

  249. Jenn L says:

    Yummy – this looks delicious! My family recently went primal, and the kids are crazy about cookies. :) I like that these don’t use nuts. We aren’t nut-free, but using almond butter for everything can get really pricey!

  250. Licia says:

    I’ve got to let you know that you are my #1 Paleo/Primal recipe resource! Love everything you make and share with all of us who are on this path to health. Shared the photo, making these this weekend!

  255. Kim Catapano says:

    I can’t wait to make these!! They would be great for a snack or treat on the go :D Do you think using a different acid in place of lemon juice would work? Maybe orange juice or apple cider vinegar?

  256. Melissa says:

    I was introduced to palm shortening because of this recipe. Thank you! I never knew it existed and it’s been so key in many other recipes. Thanks for such great recipes and a chance to win $100 to Tropical Traditions.

  257. Cheryl says:

I am nursing so the Dr. Has had me cut out dairy, wheat and soy. So the recipes and your blog are very much appreciated! They are delicious and take the stress out trying to find something good to eat. I am lacking time with my busy household of 4 kiddos and hubby! Lol so thank you!!

  417. Leanne says:

    Being newer to this no grain paleo lifestyle I’m always so excited to see recipes like these. So fun to know there is no feeling of deprivation because all the fantastic recipes. This is definitely a recipe I will try. Thank you.

  418. I recently gave up peanut butter (*sad face*) to help me deal with some digestion questions, so I would love to make these!

  419. Jessica says:

    not a huge fan of sunbutter but cant wait to try this!

  420. Aimee V says:

    I just love your website. It has been a huge help with going grain free!

  421. Dawnette Arsht says:

    Love sunbutter! I will try them very soon! Is there a sub for palm shortening?

  422. Miaja says:

    Too many comments to read through, but I’m wondering if I can use almond butter instead and just follow the recipe for peanut butter? I guess I could just try it and find out! Looks delicious!

  423. emma says:

    shared on fb!

  424. Crystal Hanna says:

    A recipe I think I can actually make. And it sounds like something we would actually enjoy

    Thanks soo much for giving us a nut free option :)

  426. Susan says:

    Greatness! Every weekend I create one of your recipes due to allergies. It’s great to search and bake! Thanks again for the wonderful site . You rock!

  427. Rachel says:

    These cookies look and sound SCRUMPTIOUS! The best part about them is they’re grain-free. Could you use any type of nut/seed butter you want?

  428. JoAnne says:

    Those look great! The only nut my son is NOT allergic to is the almond, so we frequently use that for baking, but it’s nice to have a totally nut-free alternative for when his friends (who are allergic to all nuts) come over.

  429. Jenni G. says:

    Finally a yummy looking cookie recipe without almond flour!!! I’m nut free and working on being wheat free so I think I will be baking these today! : ) I’m going to try to use grass fed butter as a sub for the shortening as previously suggested. Thanks so much!

  430. Deb H. says:

    Yummy!!!

  434. Caryn says:

    I want to eat one of these cookies now!

  435. Lizz says:

    I would like to try the coconut oil that doesn’t taste like coconut oil!

  436. Lisa F says:

    Looks yummy! Need to go try them!

  437. Serena says:

    I rely heavily on nuts, too. I do love sunflower butter IN things like cookies, so I will definitely give these a try! One of my favorite cookie recipes is just sun/nut butter, egg, sucanat/sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Simple and amazing.

  438. Jason Truitt says:

    Sooo good, thanks PP!

  439. Nancy says:

    I have everything but the sun butter – got to get me some.

  460. april says:

    My son is allergic to nuts, but the doctor also said to stay away from seeds because of it. It makes it difficult to find good nut-free, seed-free, grain-free recipes.

  461. Mandy Shindell says:

    Wish I saw these on Valentines day!! ooh well who needs a holiday to make cookies….. :) can’t wait to try this recipe!

  462. I love Real-Deal Chocolate Chip Cookies, so I’m definitely making these. I miss peanut butter dearly! I shared your post on Facebook, hoping that all my friends allergic to nuts will appreciate this recipe.

  463. Jessica Perez says:

    I love coconut flour recipes; I’ll need to try makig thse because I’ve attempted to make coconut flour cookies and have not been very successfull.

  464. Mark says:

    These look good. Going to try them tomorrow for sure.

    Like all your grain free recipes these look so incredibly good.

  467. Kim Catapano says:

  470. Robyn Lasseigne says:

    I made them and they are delicious!

  471. HOLLY says:

    These look yummy, now if someone just comes up with a SCD friendly non-choc chip that would fool my choc loving child…that would be awsome. Just got some Sunbutter on clearance…it was the chunky kind…I can just blend it if needed. He’s to hoping I win!

  472. This recipe looks great! I haven’t had the chance to cook with palm shortening yet, but I’ve heard its great to work with. I also really miss peanut butter cookies so I will certainly have to give these a try! Thank you for your amazingly delicious ingenuity!

  473. bobbi gallegos says:

    This is my first trip to your site, and I’m already in love! Having just recently decided to try gluten-free living, I’m searching desperately to find recipes that my family will love! Thanks!! :)

  476. Fajr says:

    I don’t have sunflower seeds. do you think pumpkin seed butter would give it a similar peanut butter flavor?

    • Against All Grain says:

      Maybe! i don’t know I’ve never tried it, sorry! Go ahead and try it and let me know how it works :)

  477. Sandy says:

  478. Barrie says:

    Thank you sososo much for telling me about the green color that sunbittern baked goods turn! I google it several different ways until I could figure it out- I thought it was the sea salt reaction somehow…glad to know its fe to eat because I just ate two!

  479. Linda Carlson says:

    these sound so yummy I must try them! I have Candida so I can’t eat peanut butter any more so I’m sure I will love these!
