Ingredients
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon paleo baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup coconut oil chilled (slightly solid, not melted)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup paleo chocolate chips dark or semi-sweet
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, coconut flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl or mixer combine the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Slowly add in the dry ingredients, mixing until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, spoon out dough onto the lined cookie sheets about 1 1/2 to 2 inches about.
- Transfer the baking sheets to the freezer and freeze the dough for 45 minutes, or refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the cookie sheets from the freezer or refrigerator and bake for 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Makes 18 to 24 cookies depending on the size of the cookies you make.
- This recipe calls for coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. This swap reduces the amounts of omega 6 found in vegetable oil and replaces it with healthier medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) found in coconut oil.
- I've swapped out regular flour that has gluten for almond flour and coconut flour.
- I've replaced regular sugar with coconut sugar.
- I make my own paleo baking powder at home. It's easy!
- I used Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips which are vegan, dairy-free, and paleo friendly.
