Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan Too)
These Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies from Stephanie Meyer’s The 30-Minute Paleo Cookbook are the ultimate snack to satisfy. They are super decadent and rich with flavor because they are made with almond butter. The cookies, like everything Stephanie creates, is gluten-free, in fact, these have NO flour at all and can also be made vegan.
Ingredients
- 1 cup 260g creamy no-stir almond butter
- 2/3 120g coconut sugar
- 1 large egg or 1 tablespoon egg replacer, plus 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped dark Paleo Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl stir together the almond butter, sugar, egg (or replacer), vanilla, baking soda, and salt with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. - Stir in 3/4 of the chocolate chips, the cookie dough will be quite thick and it may take working the dough with your hands to get them incorporated.
- Use a 2-tablespoon scoop and place 8 evenly spaced balls on each prepared baking sheet. Add the remaining chocolate chips to the top of the cookies, to create the pools of chocolate on the tops.
- Bake for about 10 minutes until the cookies are set and lightly browned. Let the cookies cool completely before removing from the baking sheets. (the cookies made with the egg replacer baked up softer and more crumbly than the ones with egg, but both are delicious).
