My faithful readers will know that I have been trying to find a great Paleo chocolate chip cookie recipe, pretty much since we started this journey. I have made them with almond flour, almond butter, etc, and they keep turning out too soft/sticky/flat. They have tasted great, but they have not been the best consistency. So then, you may know, that a week or so back I bought some coconut flour and found out the hard way that it is a LOT thicker than almond flour. So, I figured if I am trying to get thicker cookies, it would only make sense to use the thicker flour, right? Well, I found a bunch of recipes using coconut flour and I went for it.
This recipe guaranteed that the cookies would not suck, so how could I go wrong? Well, she was right- these cookies are great! It looks like the third time's a charm! I didn't have shredded coconut on hand so I left it out, and still the consistency is wonderful and they taste super yummy. I made mine really small so they are like little bite sized bits of happiness (and unfortunately the size made them easy for me to eat a lot in one sitting, oops...). You should definitely try these out- best Paleo chocolate chip cookies I have made yet!
Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
(makes about 1.5 dozen small cookies)
- 1/2 c coconut flour
- 1/4 c coconut oil
- 1 1/2 T raw honey
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 t vanilla
- 1/8 t sea salt
- 1/2 c chocolate chips (I finally bought the Paleo-friendly Enjoy Life chips and they are great!)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt the honey and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl for about 20-30 seconds.
In a large bowl (or KitchenAid), mix together the coconut oil, raw honey, eggs, vanilla extract and sea salt. Stir in the coconut flour and chocolate chips.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and roll out little
balls of cookie dough. Place on the baking sheet and gently press
down to flatten them out a bit (they won't flatten while baking). Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown (you want them to stay soft!).
These definitely look the best out of all the attempts I have made, and they tasted the best too! I am really happy with the result- the only problem is, it will be really hard to have portion control with these!
