It has a low glycemic index. For a treat, I would suggest substituting the sweetener with this. Comes from the flower on the plant, not the coconut itself. stumbled upon organic coconut sugar at a store here sold in bulk. It has a low glycemic index.

Slightly less paleo but good in moderation are sweet potato flour and tapioca flour. This should help with the "breadiness." Coconut oil(about 1 tbs) or applesauce(2-3 tbs) work well to get the cookie texture as well. I have a similar recipe I use and it's well-loved by paleo and non-paleo eaters alike. :D I usually mix flours when baking, like almond meal and coconut flour.

I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions on the bready taste - that was actually something I always liked about them. Glad you liked them Angel.

I used coconut sugar for sweetener, and non dairy no sugar added carob chips from whole foods. They tasted almost like store bought cookies, but were also a slightly bready. Any tips on that?
