Coconut Flour Banana Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

In my baking adventure today, I tried using coconut flour for the first time.  It is a nice alternative for wheat flour and it is high in fibre and low in carbs.  Since I had no idea how this was going to turn out, I searched for a recipe that didn't require too much ingredients and had chocolate. This recipe is a combination of Detoxinista's Recipe for Coconut flour chocolate chip cookie and Ditchthewheat's recipe. I didn't add any other sugars to the recipe and it was sweet enough for me. The cookie is grainy and crumbly. Next batch I am going to use less coconut flour and see if it's more of a crispy cookie but I still like how this one turned out.
