Chocolatey Cookies


I struggle with Paleo cookies because they always taste like and have the consistency of banana bread. These turned out quite well and would be better with chocolate chips added. But what wouldn't? And I have decided that baking is the one place cutting out salt is not worth it. I also prefer butter when baking but this recipe was good with coconut oil.

The Ingredients:
1 1/2 C Almond Flour
1/4 C Coconut Oil- melted
1/4 C Agave- or less. I used just under 1/4.
1 Egg
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Vanilla
2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder

The Process:
Heat oven to 375. Mix wet ingredients in one bowl. Mix dry ingredients in another. Combine. Drop tablespoon size balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 8min. Makes 9 cookies.

*1/4 of chocolate chips would make these great.

Just enough for a binge. Not enough to make you feel bad for eating them all in one day.

  1. Oh yeah, chocolate chips were a good idea. Made them again tonight (yes 2 days later!) and got 10 cookies out of the batch. They will be gone soon.
