Sedimentary Cookies
These sedimentary cookies are about to change your life!! You might be asking, why are they called sedimentary cookies?! Well that’s a good question. These are my gluten free and dairy free dupe of the Trader Joe’s “It’s Sedimentary my dear Cookie” cookie mix that comes out around the holidays! They are this amazing cookie mix that has oats, peanut butter, coffee and m&ms. So I made my own version that dare I say is even better than the TJs version.
They are the perfect amount of chewy with the best flavor ever. They are for sure my new go to recipe I will bring to events and friends houses… That is of course when we start do that stuff again! I am for sure going to make them to bring to my mom’s house to watch the super bowl this weekend so you should probably do that too. These are one of those recipes I made and from the first bite knew they would be a staple recipe in our family. They are just so filled with good flavor – who knew peanut butter and coffee would go really well together?
This cookie dough is also really delicious of course!
How to make sedimentary cookies
Do you have a bowl and a spoon? Then you can make these sedimentary cookies, they come together incredibly easy.
- You will need to pre heat the oven to 350 degrees before you start mixing all the ingredients
- In. large bowl mix together an egg slightly beaten, melted ghee, vanilla, peanut butter, coconut sugar. Give this a good mix to make sure the egg and ghee is mixed in throughly.
- Next add your almond flour, quick oats, arrowroot powder, instant coffee, baking soda and salt. With a large spoon mix all the ingredients together, be sure to not over mix.
- Once you have mixed the dough you can add the candy coated chocolates or wait until you have scooped the dough into balls and place the candies on-top. Each option works great.
- Dough will make 12 ball of cookies, place on cookie sheet and bake for 9-11 min. Check your cookies to ensure they do not burn.

Which do you prefer? The more doughy or cooked?
cooked or crispy!!
Been waiting for this recipe! I can’t wait to try! Would there be an appropriate substitute for the arrowroot powder? A friend is coming over for Superbowl and that is one ingredient she can’t have.
Cornstarch should work.
Will the amount of coffee affect my toddler?
No it shouldn’t but you can always do 1/2 the amount if you are worried!
Can you sub another nut butter for peanut butter?
Yup of course!
Is arrowroot powder the same as arrowroot flour?
Yes, same thing!
Looks yummy!!!
Such a great cookie! Easy to make and super yummy!!

Enjoy!
These cookies look so good! Is there a way to print your recipes without the ads showing up? The formatting is off and there ends up being weird breaks in the text, as well as a lot of unnecessary white space. FYI: I’ve only ever printed from mobile before.
Should be fixed now, give it a try!
Could you sub out the egg for 1/4 cup of apple sauce to really make them dairy-free?
We have not tried it but for sure give it a try!
Could you guys test different egg free variations??? These look so good and I have been so excited to make them but I’m allergic to eggs
You can always try Bob’s Red Mill Egg replacement, that’s our go to.
I don’t have instant coffee. Could I use brewed coffee or leave it out? Thank you!
You can just leave out the coffee!!!
Once I didn’t know Instant Coffee meant just the powder and I messed up a whole recipe.
For your recipes, do you mean Dry Instant Coffee OR Instant coffee already made to drink?
Dry instant coffee
These are outstanding!! And so so easy to whip up!!
★★★★★
Great! Enjoy!
So so so good!! I didn’t have instant coffee so I omitted it and they were soo good! Closest thing yet to regular oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! I don’t feel like I am missing out at all by using cleaner ingredients! Thank you for another great recipe!
★★★★★
Wonderful!!
Sooo delicious and easy! I love this mix from TJs but these are way better.
★★★★★
So Great!
Ok, these are seriously delicious. I love all of the textures and flavors. They lasted 24 hrs in my house.
★★★★★
That’s always a good sign
Kelsey you really hit the nail on the head with this cookie! I watched you on instagram test this recipe until you got it right which made me excited to try it. My boyfriend isn’t really keen on gluten free alternatives and never really “likes” anything but when I made these the batch didn’t even last the day. I’m currently baking second batch of these as I type this.
Thank you for this amazing recipe!
★★★★★
Soo great!!
Taste is fantastic! I was hoping for a crispier/chewy texture though like pictured, but it came out puffy and soft. They were devoured in no time, but curious what it could have been? Only substitution was regular oats. Thanks for any help!
★★★★★
I would check the temp of your oven!
Oh my gosh these are amazing! I didn’t have coconut sugar, so I had to substitute for light brown sugar, but they still came out amazing! Yum, yum, yum!
★★★★★
Great substitute! Enjoy!
A new family favorite! These are so good!
★★★★★
We love a cookie that’s a hit!
These cookies SLAP!! I made them on a whim the first time when I had to have something sweet. I happened to have all the ingredients on hand (thank you whipped coffee trend of 2020 for the instant coffee ). I now whip them up far too often! And I love that it doesn’t make a huge batch of cookies because if there’s cookies, I’m eating them! Thanks for the fantastic recipe!
★★★★★
Wow, we are blushing!! SO glad you enjoyed them so much!
These cookies are amazing! Incredibly delicious and so easy to make. I used coconut oil instead of ghee and almond butter instead of peanut butter. It was hard to stop eating after just one. I now find any excuse I can to whip up a batch. Thanks for the recipe!
★★★★★
Great swaps! Enjoy
Delicious recipe, I used coconut oil instead of ghee, and I subbed AP flour for the almond flour(didn’t have any on hand) and left out the arrowroot. I also doubled the recipe, and they turned out delicious! Toddler approved!
★★★★★
Wonderful!! So glad you enjoyed
Kelsey these are so freaking good!!!
My husband typically hates grain free baked goods, and loves these! Of course I didn’t tell him until later that they’re grain free 😉 but these are a winner in our house!
★★★★★
They are seriously the best cookies!
First off, SO YUMMY! Secondly, how would you recommend storing these?
Thank you so much! 🙂
Any sealed container or a ziplock bag!
What is difyfrom the original recipe? I’m trying to duplicate the original recipe, but I can’t find it! Please help, these are the best cookies I’ve ever eaten!
Hi Jennifer! Nothing has changed on these since I first posted them!
