Made these today for my husband.i subsituted raisins for the chocolate chips, ( he likes chocolate but hates chocolate chips.) I also added a little maple syrup. They look and smell wonderful. I was happy to bake for him, and not have to handle any flour. Thanks for your creative ideas.

Hi Kate- this recipe looks great! I’ve forwarded your blog to my dad and we’ll be making some things (and def this cookie recipe) to bring to Thanksgiving. Thanks for all your hard work and diligence! 🙂

This sounds so delicious! Even though I have my IBS in check (only avoid blueberries and gluten), I am drooling and plan to make these, just without the coconut; never liked it 🙂

Thanks for sharing. I will be pinning it!

Thanks for your reply, Kate. I don’t care that much about chocolate, to be honest, so I’m not likely to go overboard.
I was following Fodmaps for a week and felt great! But last night I had a recurrence of severe bloating a couple of hours after eating fried potatoes. Bummer. I’m thinking I might have a problem with nightshades in general.
It really is like figuring out a puzzle, that of hitting on just the right combination of foods to eat. Your blog has been extremely helpful in that regard.

Kate, can you please come to Houston, Texas!! We need help down here, too!! No one in my area is talking about or has even heard of Low FODMAP diets for IBS sufferers, and since it has CHANGED MY LIFE, I wish more people (i.e. doctors, nurses, dieticians, etc.) new about it and could serve as a resource for those of us who suffer from severe IBS down here in Houston!

Hi Kate,

I also love to travel but I agree with you, I am a homebody at heart. There’s nothing better than dropping your bags after a long trip. Glad to hear that you’re getting FODMAP information out there to Omaha!

This recipe looks great. I find that chocolate chips work good for me in small amounts (small is the key word here- whether or not that happens, that’s another story!) and offer a nice sweet way to end a meal.

And speaking for experience, the Pinterest addiction doesn’t really go away- it just gets stronger with time!

In reply to Sheri. Sheri, You can use the semi-sweet chocolate chips or Ghiraddelli has a 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate which is yummy too. Chocolate does have limits though....so just a smattering added to recipes!! Don't go overboard!

Hi again. I just wanted to say that I’ve been reading through your blog posts and just came across the one that said dark chocolate and semi-sweet chips were given the green light.

Hi Kate!
I just wanted to thank you for your blog. It contains so much helpful information regarding Fodmaps, which I’ve recently started. After only a week I feel like a new person, and I referred my sister to your website since she, too, has had the same GI troubles I’ve had my whole life.
I’m looking forward to making the PB cookie recipe. It looks awesome! May I ask where you found dark chocolate chips? When I was at the grocery store, I only saw regular semisweet chips, and even Special Dark, but those contain milk.
Like you, I am also a homebody. I am a recipe tweaker, too. 🙂 Thanks again for your great blog!
