Paleo and Gluten-Free Chocolate Cookies

Paleo Chocolate Cookies

Sometimes you just get that intense chocolate craving.  This paleo chocolate cookies recipe is perfect for that occasion!

Ingredients

Paleo Chocolate Cookies

0.  Preheat oven at 325°F.1.  While your oven heats up, mix all your dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl: almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt.

2.  In another bowl, mix your liquid ingredients together: Egg, melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract.

3.  Mix the dry ingredients with the liquid ones until mixed very well together.

4.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and then scoop out your mix on to the parchment paper, leaving spaces between each cookie-to-be.  This cookie dough can be very sticky and wet, so if you can’t make it in to amazing shape, don’t worry about it, we can fix this later.

5.  Pop the baking sheet in to the over and bake for 10 minutes at 325°F.

6.  Take out the cookies and here’s your chance to fix it in to a nicer shape if you weren’t successful earlier.  The dough is not sticky now but still soft so you can take a wooden spatula/spoon and press down to make the cookies flatter/rounder.  I like my cookies to have that rough home made cookies look so all I did was flatten it:

7.  Bake another 10 minutes or until cookies are firm.   If you didn’t care for step #6 where you took it out to fix it for appearance sake, then you could’ve just skipped it and done a full bake.


And that’s it!  Your chocolate craving can now be fixed as you eat your yummy paleo chocolate cookies :)

Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

I present to you a yummy and easy gluten-free and paleo chocolate chip cookies recipe!  In case you are new to Coconut Flour, let me just tell you that it is one of the healthier flours – it is very high in fiber, is gluten free (perfect for a lot of people that are just figuring out they are allergic to gluten), and is a naturally a bit sweet (yay! less sugary stuff you need to use!)  The only complaint I have is it’s super dry… but that’s easy to fix by adding extra butter or coconut oil! If these cookies look familiar, it’s because it’s very similar to my Paleo Vanilla Cookies recipe from a few months ago.  I changed up some of the ingredients though, and added chocolate chips!  Not super healthy addition – but a little chocolate never hurt anyone (or at least not me! )  :)

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup of Coconut flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp of honey
  • 1/3 cup of coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup of chocolate chips (if you want to keep it paleo, try dark chocolate, which isn’t too bad.)
  • Sprinkle of sea salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

0.  Preheat oven to 375 °F. 1.  Mix the coconut oil, honey, eggs, vanilla extract (optional), sprinkle of sea salt all in a large bowl.  Mixing these ingredients first will help because coconut flour is very dry and will be harder to beat.  I used a mixer to do this as I was super craving chocolate chip cookies asap! 3.  Add in the coconut flour and the chocolate chips and mix well with the liquid ingredients.  I was in such a hurry, I used my mixer for this too even though I don’t really like using a mixer when I have chunks of chocolate chips in my mixture.  If you want, you can also just use a spatula to mix it in.

4.  Scoop out about 1 inch chunks of them and then flatten them down on some parchment paper to make them in to cookie shapes.  Since I like smaller cookie bites, I made mine smaller.
