Primal desserts are so controversial (which is dumb because they are delicious). When I first went Paleo, I remember reading on a blog that said we (paleos) should be telling ourselves "I can have that, but I don't want it"... and not "I can't have that but I really want it". For the most part this has worked for me. I understand that it is my choice not to eat sourdough bread and Oreos, and I don't want that toxic crap anyway (see how well it worked?!). However, I really really really want Paleo desserts. I can't even cognitively trick myself into not wanting them, so I'm going to continue to bake them and post the recipes and you can continue to silently judge me if you so please. If not, make these cookies because they are unbelievably soft, and chewy, and delicious.
Primal Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Ingredients:
- 3 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup organic maple syrup
- 1/4 cup raw organic honey
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips or Enjoy Life Chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix together dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat maple syrup, honey, eggs, and vanilla. Mix with dry ingredients, then beat in coconut oil. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoon on parchment lined baking sheet and bake 10 minutes or until the bottoms start to become golden brown. Cool 15 minutes.
YUM!
These are amazing!!! The best paleo-friendly cookies I've yet to make! Thank you so much for the recipe :)
