“All for One” Chocolate Chip Cookies

by Kelly M

You need to go make these cookies now.

Right now. I mean it. Grab your computer and run to the kitchen.

I don’t mean to be pushy, but I say this because I love you and will give you lovingly push you to do what is best for you. This is best for you. Trust me.

I’m going to keep this short because I want nothing to stand between you and these cookies, but you probably are somewhat curious to what the heck I’m talking about.

I’m talking about mouth-watering drool worthy single serving cookie that can be made in under 2 minutes. I don’t know about you, but I am notorious for consuming half a recipe’s worth of dough before the cookies even hits the oven, so the single serving thing is particularly useful for me.

Oh, and they just happen to be vegan, gluten free, grain free, low carb, sugar free, low fat, and only about 65 calories for all 10 cookies. And they’re positively scrumptious.

So what are you waiting for? Run to you kitchen! Sprint there as fast as you can! Grow wings and fly if possible!

Right. You’ll probably be wanting a recipe. Fine, but promise you’ll make them?

“All for One” Chocolate Chip Cookies

What if I told you that you could have ten delicious chocolate chip cookies for only 65 calories in your mouth in under 3 minutes? You’d think I was taunting you, wouldn’t you? This is not a dream. This is real. I promise.

Adapted from my World’s Healthiest Cookie

Makes 1 serving (10 cookies!)

Nutritional Info

Serving size: 1 recipe (10 cookies)

Calories: 64

Fat: 2.5 grams

Ingredients

2 Tablespoon coconut flour

2 Tablespoon mashed banana or applesauce (I prefer banana. Personally, I think applesauce gives them too much of an apple-y taste. That’s just me.)

pinch salt

1/8 teaspoon molasses

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

stevia or other sweetener, to taste (I used one packet of stevia)

3 Tablespoon almond milk, or milk of choice

chocolate chips (I used about 1/2 Tablespoon)

Directions

In a small bowl, mix coconut flour and salt. Add in mashed banana or applesauce, molasses, and vanilla extract and stir. Add in almond milk, one tablespoon at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough by tablespoon or teaspoon, depending on how big you want them, on a greased microwave safe plate and flatten into cookie shapes/ Microwave for 45 seconds to a minute, watching them carefully, looking and smelling for done-ness. Let cool for a minute or two to allow the cookies to firm up before inhaling them all. If you want a version made in the oven, check out my World’s Healthiest Cookie.

It looks like we just found your new favorite midnight snack.

Enjoy!

-Kelly M.

While I made these and they are delicious, I am wondering how they can only be 64 calories? I looked at the coconut flour that I have and it says it’s 62 calories per 2 tablespoons, which doesn’t really add up with the rest of the ingredients. (i.e. I used 1/2 a banana to make 2 tablespoons mashed so that would be another 50 calories, right?) Is there something I’m missing here?

I had the same question… the math you did can’t be correct. These definitely have to be closer to 100 calories or so, right?

Thanks so much for the interest, guys! I said right in the calorie count that I calculated it with applesauce and not mashed banana (but sorry for the confusion!). Even though coconut flour says 60 calories per 2 Tablespoons, your body does not absorb the calories in fiber, so I only account for the NET carbs in a recipe which brings the calories down to 44 calories per 2 Tablespoons. So 44 for the coconut flour plus 12.5 for the applesauce plus 5 for the applesauce is about 64 calories. Thanks again, and I’m sorry for not being more clear! I hope you have a lovely day!

Hi! First off: These look amazeballs and I can’t wait to make them!

Second: How do you calculate the net calories in the coconut flour? What happens to the calories we don’t absorb? Maybe this isn’t the place to ask this… Sorry :s But any help would be appreciated :)

iI Birdie, and thank you for the question! (Amazeballs- love that! I might have to borrow it.) Funny you ask, because I just got another question about the same thing, and since I left a very long response, I hope you don’t mind I just copy and paste it for you. Thanks!

This really is a great point I should have answered sooner. I do all my own calculations for the nutritional information, so I don’t use the calorie calculating websites. For the nutritinal information I use to calcualate the calories in a serving of a recipe, I usually just use the nutritional facts on the package of the ingredient I used.

So for the coconut flour (I’m using the Bob’s Red Mill nutritional info as a reference), It has 2 grams of fat, 8 grams of carbs, 5 grams of fiber, and 2 grams of protein. I only account for the calories of the NET carbs in the product, so in this case, there are only 3 grams of NET carbs (8 grams of total carbs – 5 grams of fiber, as your body does not absorb the calories in fiber). So here’s how I add everything up: 2 grams of fat (18 calories) + 3 grams NET carbs (12 calories) + 2 grams protein (8 calories) = 38 calories per 2 Tablespoon serving of coconut flour.

Obviously, this is a pretty controversial topic, but this method of calorie counting is widely accpeted in the US. The FDA does allow companies to take advantage of this method to calculate the calories if their product, but only a few comapnies take advantage of it. On the other hand, in Canada, companies are not allowed to use this method. So if an American manufacturer distributed a product with the nutritional info reflecting the method I just told you about into the US, and decided to distribute the exact same product into Canada, the calorie count would have to be higher. Okay, thank you for reading my essay of a response, and I hope this helps!

Hi, I just wanted to clarify .. when the calorie counter websites or databases list calorie counts of foods, they already take into account the dietary fibre and the portion of the food that doesn’t get absorbed .. you don’t have to subtract more calories from the calorie count.

For example, on calorie count . com it says that 2 tbsp of coconut flour has 10 grams of carb, 2 grams of protein and 1.5 grams of fat. Since 1 gram of carb/protein = 4 calories and 1 gram of fat = 9 calories, the calorie count ends up becoming around 60 cals. The dietary fibre of 6 grams is additional to the grams of carbohydrate.

Otherwise, that means the nutrition labels of all products in the world would be giving faulty information lol, because if they didn’t already subtract the fibre then everyone in the world would have to be sitting there calculating the actual calories of something by always subtracting the fibre .. the agencies in charge of posting nutritional info would’ve already thought of this, don’t you think?

YES! This is happening today. I have been craving cookies for about a week now, but I’ve been trying to hold myself back, because I KNOW I shouldn’t give in… But these are perfect! And only 65 calories?! And I don’t have to share?!? Oh yeah. Totally happening.

Just like you ordered, I ran into the kitchen and made these delicious cookies. I didn’t have any coconut flour so made a mix of hazelnut flour, white flour and shredded coconut. Easy, tasty, healthy enough, just how I like it! Thanks for the recipe. I am a new follower!
Have a nice day! :)

I love you!
I made these, and they are great!!!! I absoltely love them! I got eight cookies out of a batch and a half of this recipe (I used 2 tsp. of brown and white sugar, along with 2 Tbsp. of coconut flour and 1 Tbsp of regular flour with the original numbers of the other ingredients). The result was pure awesomeness!!!!

Do you think you could make another cool single-serving cookie recipe? I’m just loving your “singles” recipes so much!

23 Julia D June 6, 2012 at 9:46 am

Thank you very much for posting your recipes! Everyone seems to be giving great feedback so maybe I’m missing something when making these but mine always turn out dry and crumbly and they taste very grainy? I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this, but I’d love to try to fix it!

Reply

24 Kelly M June 6, 2012 at 8:58 pm

Thank you SO much for trying so hard to make this recipe, Julia! You have no idea how much that means to me. ;) I am so sorry it’s not working out like it should! Hmm… Are you making the recipe as written? Subbing ingredients can really alter the quality of the final product. Also, the cooking time is very dependent on the type of microwave you have. Mine is really old, so I had to nuke the cookies for about a minute, but I imagine a high powered one cook could them in about half the time. Maybe your cookies are over/undercooked? Sorry again, and I hope this helps!

25 Confused Truffle July 9, 2012 at 9:55 am

Kelly, thanks for such a unique recipe using coconut flour! I found that my cookies were crumbly as well.. I ended up cooking them for a minute and they were wet, so I did another 30 seconds, still wet, and then another 40 seconds, and looking like your photo. I took them out, let them cool, and they still crumbled apart! :(

Which type of coconut flour do you use?

26 Courtney July 14, 2012 at 2:37 pm

Can wheat flour replace coconut flour? I don’t have any coconut flour :(

Reply

27 Kelly M July 18, 2012 at 11:02 am

Thanks for the question, Courtney! Subbing any ohter flour for coconut flour RARELY ends well, especially because coconut flour is so different from other flours. I would advice against using wheat flour in this recipe, but you can buy coconut flour at places like Whole Foods or online at Amazon or iherb.com. Hope this helps!

I adore your blog and all of your recipes, but this is definitely my new favorite – I’ll have to try the peanut butter version soon (aka breakfast tomorrow)! You are a coconut flour genius :)

30 Sophie July 28, 2012 at 1:39 am

Amazing. I never tried coconut flour before, but I love it! My biscuits didn’t really set – they were crumbly, but I put them in the oven (no microwave here) so it’s probably my fault. I was more than happy to eat the hot squidgy dough, though! Thanks for the recipe!

Reply

31 Kelly M August 7, 2012 at 1:49 pm

Thank you so much for making this recipe, Sophie, and I am very sorry it didn’t work out like it should! Since the cookies were crumbly, did you let them cool all the way? If I didn’t pop my cookies in the fridge for a few minutes after cooking (who has the patience to let them cool at room temperature?) they would most likely fall apart. Also, I have a version of this recipe that uses the oven instead of the microwave here. Thanks again, and I hope this helps!

32 Sophie August 7, 2012 at 2:38 pm

Yes, that’s why – I didn’t read your instructions as carefully as I should have done and just ate them soon out of the oven. Thank you for providing the recipe, and most of all for introducing me to coconut flour, srs, I might be as obsessed as you now! Haha. I love stirring a spoonful into greek yoghurt with some stevia and berries. Makes it thick and coconutty. :D I also made your xylitol caramel and used it in making granola, it’s great and so easy, thanks!

I’m half way through trying these: I cooked the mix in 2 batches, and am typing this while I wait for the second to firm up a bit. These are incredible! I forgot to add sugar to the first ones, and they are STILL incredible!

And now they’re gone!
