Paleo Style Dark Chocolate Cookies

(Gluten free, dairy free option)

paleo-cookie

This is a great tasting cookie and its grain free. Yes, sadly it does contain sugar.  But that’s why it is reserved for the holidays!

Ingredients

  • 5 T. grass fed butter softened (or use Spectrum palm shortening for dairy free version)
  • ½ c. coconut sugar
  • 1 T. honey
  • 1 large pasture raised egg
  • ½ T. vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ c. almond flour
  • 2 T. coconut flour
  • ½ t. baking soda
  • Dash salt
  • ½ a bag dark chocolate (I like Enjoy Life or Lily’s brand which is stevia sweetened)
  • 1/3 c. chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Cream the butter, sugar, honey, egg, and vanilla until smooth
  3. Add in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda and salt Gently blend until combined.
  4. Fold in the chocolate and nuts.
  5. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for roughly 15 minutes or until tops are lightly brown.  (it may look brown ahead of this time but I find the cookie is too soft and falls apart if I take it out sooner, say around 11 minutes)

Note: I double this recipe and freeze the batter for later use.
