Best tasting Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie!
Over the weekend I had such an insane craving for chocolate chip cookies. Problem is that with regular cookies my sugar so I have to stay away from them. However, my daughter had given me a cookbook by Danielle Walker "Against all Grain" and I decided to try the flour-less recipes listed there. OMG these cookies were wonderful! Gooey, chewy, chocolate goodness rapped in crumbs~
The recipe is called real-deal chocolate-chip cookies
prep time: 12 min cooking time: 10 min yield: 1 dozen stay on plate time: 0

1/4 cup palm shortening
1 egg at room temperature
1/4 cup coconut crystals
2 TBSP honey
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
11/2 cups blanched almond flour
2 TBSP coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup dark-chocolate pieces
1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Place shortening and egg in a food processor and process for 15 seconds

4. Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix for another 30 seconds
5. Stir in chocolate by hand
6. Use a large tablespoon to scoop out the balls of dough and place them on a baking sheet on parchment paper. Lightly press dough down to get 1/2 inch thick cookies
7. Bake for 10 minutes, until the cookies are browned around the edges. Cool on a wire rack
Heaven on a Plate
What a treat those were! Since anything that converts into sugar can give me monster headaches I proceeded eating half a cookie with caution, but they were so good that I risked it, lived dangerously and ate the whole cookie. Happy to report that these Paleo chocolate chip cookies did not spike my sugar and that the headaches stayed away.
