Nut butter, coconut oil, coconut flour, sugar-free chocolate chips, and erythritol — all come together for the quickest, easiest 10 Minutes Healthy Cookies Recipe you’ll ever try.
Okay, real talk.
I wasn’t planning to make cookies that day. Actually… I was trying not to make cookies. But the craving hit — hard. You know the kind. The “if I don’t get something sweet in 5 minutes, there might be trouble” kind of craving.
I didn’t want anything heavy or loaded with sugar. I just wanted something quick, easy, and kinda healthy (because balance, right?). That’s when I remembered this 10 Minutes Healthy Cookies Recipe I scribbled down months ago during one of my “let’s pretend to eat better” phases.
Spoiler: best decision ever. I tweaked a few things (because let’s face it — who follows recipes exactly?) and boom. Fast, soft, a little chewy, and loaded with melty chocolate chips.
Even my kids — who can sniff out anything healthy — devoured them. I actually had to hide a few just so I could have some with my coffee later.

How To Make 10 Minutes Healthy Cookies?
Alright, let’s do this. I’m keeping it real simple because I know you’re busy (or hangry).
Step 1: Mix your wet ingredients.
Grab a bowl. Stir together nut butter and melted coconut oil until smooth. Then add in erythritol, vanilla, the egg, and egg white. Mix until combined. Easy.
Step 2: Add dry ingredients.
Toss in coconut flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the dough comes together — it’ll be thick and sticky (that’s perfect).
Step 3: Chocolate time!
Fold in most of the chocolate chips. Save a handful because… toppings make everything better.

Step 4: Chill (just for a bit).
Pop the dough in the freezer for about 20 minutes. Not forever — just enough so it’s easier to scoop. Don’t skip this — trust me.
Step 5: Scoop and press.
Scoop dough onto a lined baking tray. Press each down slightly. Sprinkle those extra chips on top.
Step 6: Bake and enjoy.
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 15-20 minutes. When they’re golden and your kitchen smells amazing… they’re ready.
Grab one (or three) while warm. No judgment here.
Storage Options:
-
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Perfect for late-night sneaks.
-
Freezer: Freeze in a bag or container. They thaw super quick — like emergency snack level quick.
Though honestly? Good luck keeping them around that long.
Variations and Substitutions:
Feel like mixing it up? Go for it. Here are some fun ideas:
-
Switch the nut butter: Try almond or sunflower seed butter for different flavors.
-
Use different chips: Dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even chopped dried fruit.
-
Add-ins: Chopped nuts, shredded coconut, cinnamon… the world is yours.
-
Make them vegan: Swap the eggs for flax eggs and use vegan chocolate chips. Easy.
The beauty of this 10 Minutes Healthy Cookies Recipe is that it plays nice with whatever you’ve got in your pantry.
