After ending my 3-day juice cleanse last week, instead of easing back into foods like a normal person, I just went for it. My husband brought home Chinese food because he didn’t want to eat one of 
And while I was stuffing my face with Chinese food, why not bake some cookies too? I mean, I baked these for you guys. . because they are fabulous and I had to share them. .
I was actually trying to make vegan chocolate chip cookies and failed miserably. . they were yummy but way too crumbly. Like I had to eat them with a spoon. Literally fell apart.
Because of 
And because I loved them so much. . I wanted to play around with the recipe. . this is where the vegan part comes in .. and baking with 
Like right now.
Oh my gawd. SO good.
So, the juice cleanse was, I would say, still a success . . yes even though I caved and had a salad or two and the sweet potato. . I felt great and had lots of energy. . it’s just maybe the way I celebrated afterwards that might be frowned upon. Maybe? maybe not?
Don’t we all celebrate with chocolate chip cookies?!
A few notes on the ingredients used:
- I used einkorn flour, which is not gluten-free but it’s a healthier alternative to wheat for those who are concerned about that. Einkorn is the world’s most ancient wheat, and has never been hybridized. “The gluten in einkorn lacks the high molecular weight proteins that many people can’t digest. If you are sensitive to modern wheat, einkorn may provide a delicious alternative. Einkorn does contain gluten and is not ok for those with celiac disease.”
- If you can’t get your hands on einkorn flour, use
I would totally need to celebrate with cookies after a juice cleanse. I’ve never even done one of the juice cleanses – I think I would turn into one of the most unpleasant people on the planet and I’d totally have to do what you did and eat a salad or a sweet potato. Must. Have. Solid foods! And cookies. LOVE this recipe, Alice! And congrats on sticking with the juice cleanse. 🙂
haha thanks Julie!!! yeah, I couldn’t make it and that sweet potato was calling my name!! 😛
Double.
Coconut.
Chocolate.
I love those three words!! YUMMMMmmmmmm. x
haha thank you so much, Kim!!!
I can never have enough chocolate chip cookie recipes in my kitchen. I love this version with coconut!! Good for you for completing a juice cleanse!! I am pretty sure I would fail right off the bat! 😉
Thank you, Renee!!! It was much easier for me this time last year. . I barely got through this one! 😛
I do have to try these cookies, they sound fantastic! I remember Sarah’s recipe, too!
Never baked with einkorn flour, but I’ll get it! Coconut oil works great for soft cookies and the semi- sweet and milk chocolate combo sounds great! Pinned!
Glad you’ve finished the juice cleanse!
Thanks so much, Mira!!! I barely got through the juice cleanse!! 😛
These look totally amazing! And, yes, definitely all celebrations call for chocolate chip cookies! Or at least chocolate in some form. 🙂
Right?! thanks so much Ashley!!!
I know without a shadow of a doubt that if I were coming off a 3-day juice cleanse the first thing I’d make would be chocolate chip cookies! These look incredible Alice, I love the different kinds of chocolate chips and all that coconut!
Thanks so much, Allie!!! and only problem is. . I think I ate like 6 cookies. . 😛 so good!!!
What’s the saying, go big or go home? Now I am really craving homemade cookies!
haha, YES! love it, thanks Julianne!
So proud of you for sticking it out – I’ve never done an all juice cleanse for 3 full days and think I would have had to have something to munch on too. These cookies look like the best way to celebrate! Love the double coconut and double chocolate chips in here!
Thank you so much, Kelly!!! yeah that sweet potato was just calling me name. . I had to do it! 😛
While I’m glad your juice cleanse was invigorating, I’m happier that you’re back on the cookies, Alice. I mean, these look perfect and fluffy and amazing. I love the recipe!
haha, thanks Mir!!! Me too!!! Cookies > Juice cleanse 😛
Dude! This cookies look awesome…like I want to eat my computer screen right now awesome. And I applaud the attempt at vegan here. I’ve never played around with einkorn flour, but now I’m really intrigued. But the semi-sweet + milk chocolate chip mix? That’s a MUST for tasty chocolate chip cookies. Love these pictures, too!
Thanks so much, David!! The mix of semi-sweet + milk chocolate, right?!!! I love it. . I always make my CCC that way!
Girl, you inspire me to try that juice, really! But yes, double choco chip cookies is perfect to celebrate your accomplishment. And adding coconut to it sounds like a winning recipe.
Thanks so much, Linda!!!
These look divine Alice! I’ve got a package of einkorn flour sitting on my pantry shelf and I’ve been wondering what to do with it! Now I know! And coconut, oh yes, sounds really yummy!
oh Maria, I hope you really try this recipe!! I think you will love these cookies!
Hooray for finishing your cleanse! These cookies are definitely a worthy celebratory treat. Love that you used coconut oil in them!
Thanks so much, Jen!!! 🙂 whatever I lost in the cleanse, I’ve already gained back with these cookies! 😛
I have tried that whole ease back into thing with a fast but I don’t do too well with that especially after starving myself for 3 days. I would have just went for it like you too! And went for it you did. These look incredible. I really want to try the coconut oil cookies now.
Girl, you need to try it. . it’s soooo good!!! This might be my “go-to” CCC recipe now.
Oh, these cookies look so great. Wish I had some energy to make them. (I’m quite sick today.) And it’s great way to use up my huge jar of coconut oil.
oh no!!! Shinee, I hope you feel better!!! get some rest! and when you’re better. . yes, use up that coconut oil with these cookies!
Oh boy Alice. These. Cookies! I’ve never cooked with einkorn flour, but I’ve got to try this recipe!!
Thanks so much Marissa!!! the einkorn flour is awesome!!! Hope you try it!!
This is one beautiful chocolate chip cookie! And you know because there is coconut I am all over it! So glad you posted these. Will help with my mid week cookie cravings 😉
haha, love it!! Dude, you need to make these!! so good. . I’ve been eating these like all week!!!
Love the looks of these cookies, Alice! I would’ve never thought to add coconut to chocolate chip cookies, so I love your creativity! Definitely jazzes up a classic cookie. Delish!
Gayle, oh my gawd, I discovered the shredded coconut to chocolate chip cookies last year .. added some to my go-to CCC recipe. . and it’s SO good!! if you like coconut, you will love these cookies!!!
I need to get my paws on some einkorn flour—and make some double chocolate, double coconut cookies 🙂 They look fantastic. I would have lasted about 3 minutes on a juice cleanse so anything longer than that is a win, in my opinion 🙂
P.S. I’ve been making double batches of those butterscotch cookies for years at Christmas, and it’s second nature to scoop and roll them. I do chill the dough, use a cookie disher to scoop them, then roll the balls between my palms to make them perfectly round. And if you haven’t tried this trick, you can use your spatula to correct any amoeba-like imperfections when the cookies are still hot—just use it to push any bumps to make them round 🙂
haha, thanks Liz!!! and thank you for the cookie tip!!! I’m going to bake your cookies!!!
Best transition ever! Love the double coconut action.
These look super duper amazing! I’m in love with coconut and chocolate and PS vegan baking is h a r d!!!! Sometimes things just fall apart and it’s tragic but clearly it leads to good things with these cookies! 🙂
I have recently become obsessed with all things coconut, and chocolate chip cookies are my all-time favourite treat, so I can’t wait to try these out! Thanks for sharing 🙂
you almost lost me at three day juice cleanse… thank goodness I pressed on coz now I got a hankering for these babies. And I have all the ingredients! #score
I’m sure the coconut gave these the BEST texture. Girl, gotta love that you just went for it after the cleanse with these cookies…totally what I would have done!
Did you say double chocolate? Count me in! These look absolutely divine, Alice!
Alice!! These cookies are absolutely STUNNING and I just love your play on the original recipe! That flour seriously sounds so neat and I am loving all the double-coconut action going on. 😉 This is definitely a version I need to try asap!
That sounds like something I would do! I have never done a full cleanse because I am pretty sure I would cheat and then reach for cookies, especially if the cookies are as good as these!
“Oh my gawd. SO good.”!!!!!
NO KIDDING – These look FANTASTIC!!! I wanna stuff my face with these cookies – computer screen and all! My curiosity is piqued – I need to know more about einkorn flour – so gonna go google it now…
Who doesn’t love chocolate and coconut? These are so yummy looking…thank you for thinking of us!!
I appreciate you going full throttle back into eating food after your juice cleanse and baking these cookies for us!! This is where I have to say great minds think alike cause I literally just made a coconut chocolate chip cookie. (I’ve already made them before, but I’m obsessed with all things coconut) I’ve never tried baking with einkorn flour before, but I need to try.
I love coconut and chocolate together. And love that these have coconut oil instead of butter or vegetable oil!
Coconut oil chocolate chip cookies are my favorite! It gives them such an amazing texture!
Coconut oil is seriously one of the best things that can happen to a cookie, Alice. What I wouldn’t give to be eating one of these with a tub of Chinese food right now! I miss my Chinese food 🙁
Haha, I did a juice cleanse last year, and while I was pretty good about the first day back to food, the second day I totally lost it. Something about not eating for a few days made me want to eat All the Cookies afterward! These look amazing, and like the perfect reward after a juice fast. 😉
These look amazing! Haven’t used coconut oil before, but these chocolate chip cookies have convinced me I MUST try it! yum!
