These cookies were so good! They're chewy, creamy with nice flavors of vanilla and coconut. Be sure to melt the Coconut Cream Concentrate over LOW heat to prevent burning it.

The "dough" isn't really a dough, btw. It'll be crumbly and you'll have to pack it into a round ball and then press it out into a cookie shape unto the cookie sheet. You could use a cookie scoop to shape the balls. Just press it up against the side of the bowl before dropping unto the sheet and pressing down with your hand.

The cookies were a little sweet for my taste and I'll probably cut back about 1/2 cup on the sugar next time. Other then that, they're perfect!

For flour, may I use some coconut flour along with organic baking flour? I prefer to use coconut flour where I can. Thanks.

ShuLei: The CCC acts like a flour in this recipe, so it takes away some of the flour that would otherwise be used.

However, I'm sure you could use a small amount of coconut flour here. Try 1/4 cup of coconut flour in replace of 1/2 cup of the regular flour and see how that turns out.

Can you substitute the sugar for another sweetener? Such as honey or stevia and how much would you use?
