We are sharing our famous almond flour healthy cookie recipe. Try the best easy paleo chocolate chip cookie recipe, that are grain free and made with almond flour!
We made this recipe to celebrate National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!! But let’s be real, we think every day deserves a cookie! We are always suckers for cookies and probably make them more than any other dessert.
Several years ago, we started experimenting with paleo recipes, the first recipe we wanted to perfect was a solid chocolate chip cookie recipe. We make cookies more than any other dessert. We love the easy process of making cookies, scooping them out on the pan and eating them hot from the oven.
These are so tasty! They were so simple to whip up for an after-dinner treat. You won’t be able to help your self from going back for seconds! Also, you can easily double this batch of cookies if you are having a gathering with friends.
We have made these cookies countless times for friends and family and they’re always so shocked when we tell them these cookies are paleo. These cookies are that good!!
The Absolute Best Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
What’s in the paleo cookies?
Almond Flour: In paleo recipes, almond flour functions similarly to all purpose flour in traditional baking. Almond flour can add a nice nutty flavor to baked goods. Having a combination of almond flour with coconut flour creates the perfect combination of flours to create a chewy cookie.
Coconut Flour: Coconut flour is made from dried, ground coconut meat. It is higher in fiber, meaning the flour absorbs more liquid than other alternative flours. Thus, you do not need to as much to your baked goods. The coconut flour adds a little extra flavor and sweetness to these cookies that makes them so delicious.
Coconut Sugar: Coconut sugar gives these cookies a slight sweet flavor. It is a great alternative to brown or cane sugar in these paleo chocolate chip cookies. After the cookies are baked, the coconut sugar seems to add a caramel flavor to the cookies.
Coconut oil: We used coconut oil for this recipe. Other good oil alternative for these cookies is ghee or Irish butter!
