paleo chocolate chip cookies

 

Since I was a little girl, I loved baking. Every Christmas my mom and I bake a variety of treats and bring them to the neighbors, friends, and family. I have always loved the joy of giving someone a yummy treat that they could enjoy. So for years, I made my famous chocolate chip cookie recipe, but after my dad went Paleo he couldn’t have one. And it really made me sad. He was always my biggest cookie stealer. I mean I’d make a batch and half were gone… from him. 

 

When Make it Paleo came out (2011), my dad had already been strictly eating Paleo for about a year. I immediately went to the dessert section and make the Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies. Ever since I swear by this easy recipe. It really only takes 5-10 minutes to whip up, and then 13-15 minutes in the oven. 

These are REAL deal Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies. They taste just like the real thing. Warning, you can't just have one.

Now I have to worry about my dad eating half the batch of these cookies! I am pretty sure he’s in the kitchen stealing one now… But it’s Christmas and what is Christmas without hot cookies fresh out of the oven? 

These are REAL deal Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies. They taste just like the real thing. Warning, you can't just have one.

The only note I have on the recipes is about the chocolate chips. I either use Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips, or I use a Lindt Bar of dark chocolate and I break it up into chunks. Either is great, or a mix of chips and chunks is even better.

How to Study for Step 1

I must have googled “How to study for Step 1” hundreds of times during my second year of medical school. The test was daunting to me, and all I wanted was to do well enough to have a chance at a competitive specialty, like Dermatology. My goal was to get above a 250 on Step…

    These look really good. Did you have to press them down before baking or did they spread like that on their own?

    And good for you keeping up with a great blog WHILE in medical school. Impressive. Even if it is LSU. 🙂 (Auburn grad here)

    So is the Paleo Diet catching on in the South? I left there 5 years ago having never heard of it.

      They spread like that on their own! And thanks haha. Auburn was one of my choices for undergrad!
      It isn’t extremely popular here, but people definitely know about it now.

      No, I’m sorry! You can put it in a nutrition calculator online though.

    Preheat to 375????!! I think you meant 275! My first batch all burned, but the next batch came out right at 275, I wish someone left a comment about that…

      Hey Jackie! No I always bake these at 375. It could possibly be your cookie sheet or the oven. Sorry for that!

    I replaced the eggs with half cup of mashed bananas, used semi-sweet chocolate chips, and baked them for 14min. Absolutely amazing! Such a simple recipe, but with that I was able to provide cookies for all the kids with allergies and without. They all loved them.

      That sounds so good. Thanks Alisha for the improvisation for people who may be allergic to eggs.

    Loved these! Made a few little changes just because I have a SERIOUS personal problem with following directions. It’s a fatal flaw. It will kill me eventually.
    I used: 2C almond flour, 1 C coconut flour.
    Added 2 eggs due to dryness of coconut four.
    Added 1/2-1 tsp baking soda (I also rebel against measuring things…)
    Added 1/3 C unsweetened almond/cashew milk (dryness d/t coconut flour)
    My oven also does not follow directions, apparently. I reduced the heat to 300 degrees, 15 minutes per batch.

    These changes caused the cookies not to flatten out and they were a little crumbly but I liked this.

    These look great so I have to try them, Just wondering does the coconut oil need to be warm or just liquid? I live in Queensland Australia so my coconut oil is almost always liquid straight out of the pantry.
    Thanks

      It does not have to be warmed, just liquid!

    Hi! Can I refrigerate these for awhile before scooping them out and baking them so that they’re easier to handle? Thanks!
