40 Grain-Free Cookies to Swoon Over

Do you love cookies but you are avoiding eating grains? Here is an amazing collection of 40 scrumptious grain-free cookies to satisfy your cookie-loving desire.

Whether you’re trying to eat grain-free or paleo or not, these cookies are going to make your cookie-loving self very happy.

All of the following are grain-free cookies and they are also paleo cookies, meaning they contain no milk or butter. However, most use higher carb sweeteners and some use eggs.

If you’re needing to substitute for those things, here are some tips.

Substitution Tips

Egg Substitution

For the most part, if the recipe’s base is almond (or another nut or seed) flour, then an egg substitute such as my Powdered Egg Replacer or flax, chia, or gelatin will work pretty much for any recipe. Of course, the Powdered Egg Replacer has starch so it isn’t the best choice for low carb diets. Here is my post on how to make a flax egg.

Low-carb Alternatives

Sweeteners

And if you are eating lower carb like we are, you can use coconut sugar or palm sugar, or go totally lower carb by using xylitol, erythritol, or stevia extract as your sweetener..

To use xylitol, just sub in 1:1 for the sweetener being used and you’ll be pretty accurate.  For stevia extract, use 2 scoops, or 1/16 teaspoon for each 1/8 cup of sweetener. Here’s a post on stevia to help you out with that.

Chocolate Chips

You can also use my Homemade Chocolate Chips for a lower-carb option for any cookie that has chips or chunks in it.

Fruit Alternatives

If a recipe contains fruit, you can replace it with coconut, nuts, or a sugar-free chocolate or carob chip if the dried fruit was intended for a low-carb option.

Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

Double-Chocolate Almond Butter Cookies

Double chocolate and almond in a cookie? You betcha! I personally would use my Homemade Chocolate Chips or a low-carb store-bought option for these. If you want to try a vegan option, then I would use my Homemade Egg Replacer for the egg.  Don’t these look fantastic?

Pumpkin Pecan Cookies

Pumpkin and pecans make the perfect combination in these oh so good and not-too-sweet Pumpkin Pecan Cookies.  They taste great, are naturally gluten-free, and also vegan with a low-carb option, so you can feel good about serving them all year round.

For a low-carb option, you can try substituting almond flour or a low-carb blend for the arrowroot, but it won’t necessarily work.

Substitute glucomannan for the arrowroot if needed. Regarding the fruit substitution that I mentioned at the top of the post, don’t worry about that for these because blueberries are low-carb fruit.

For low-carb, substitute almond flour or a low-carb baking blend for the tapioca flour.
