Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies (grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free)

Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free)

This might have been my first paleo dessert experiment. I have since stopped using tapioca starch as I’m not exactly sure how it reacts in the body, but these cookies are so yummy I just had to include the recipe.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup creamy almond butter

1/2 cup honey

2 large egg

1 tablespoon vanilla

2 cups almond flour

1 cup coconut flour

1 cup tapioca flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (Enjoy Life brand is good)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat first 5 ingredients (butter-vanilla) in a standing mixer or hand mixer. In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients. Mix dry into wet, then add chocolate chips and mix well with clean hands. Form into 2 tablespoon balls and place onto a cookie sheet that’s been greased or lined with parchment paper or a Silpat. Bake about 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on bottom and just cooked through. Eat warm 🙂
