Recipe: Paleo Chocolate Cookies!!!

I Love the Paleo Life Style, but ALLOT of times I MISS baked goods!!

My boyfriend and I came up with this recipe (modified it from another recipe) and were SO excited to try it!

    Ingredients:

Pure Vanilla Extract

1/2 tsp

Coconut Oil, Organic

1/2 cup

Eggs, Pastured

4 whole

Coconut Flour

1 cup, sifted

 Semisweet Chocolate Chips

3/4 cup

Salt

1/4 tsp

 Raw Honey

1/2 cup

 Cocoa Powder, Organic

1/4 cup, unsweetened

Sliced Almonds

       1/2 cup, chopped

At first I was like... HEY, there is no baking soda or powder in this recipe??!!! How will this ever work!!!

But it turns out, we didn't need it ;)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325.

1. Melt coconut oil and honey on low head in a saucepan.
2. In a medium size mixing bowl blend eggs, vanilla extract, salt, honey, and coconut oil with an electric hand mixer.
3. Add in unsweetened cocoa powder, and blend again.
4. Sift in the coconut flour, and continue to blend with the hand mixer until all the ingredients are mixed.
5. Pour in chocolate chunks, and almonds and stir with a spatula until evenly distributed.
6. On a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, scoop out dough into small balls ( 1-2 tablespoons is about right).
7. Using a cup, flatten each cookie into a "cookie shape" **This is important, cookies do NOT flatten while baking!
8. Bake at 325 for about 15 minutes, or until the cookies start to brown a bit on the top
   
   

They turned out Soft & Chewy and INCREDIBLY Delicious!!!

We didn't have dark chocolate chips but we DID have an 88% dark chocolate bar, which we chopped into huge chocolate chunks..

YUM!

Enjoy!
