SOFT, CHEWY, AND GOOEY PALEO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES




SOFT, CHEWY, AND GOOEY PALEO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES


Soft, chewy, gooey paleo chocolate chip cookies that have a nice crispy outside and that delicious molten inside. You’d never know these cookies are grain-free and refined sugar-free!
The BEST gooey Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies! These grain-free cookies taste just like classic homemade chocolate chip cookies.
I had zero intention of giving you all yet another cookie recipe, but then something happened: a ginormous hankering for gooey, chewy, ultra chocolatey chocolate chip cookies struck me in my stomach chakra and before I knew it, I was conjuring up ways of improving my original recipe for Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies to come out with a version 2.0. Sometimes you just need an ultra comforting cookie, and so…
Version 2.0 is here, and let me just tell you…
Bangarang!

The BEST Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies! Soft, chewy, gooey, perfectly sweet and delicious! You'd never know these are grain-free and naturally sweetened
I wanted to title these The BEST Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies In all the Land, but then I figured at some point in the future I would add one more tablespoon of ghee (for instance) or an additional tablespoon of pure maple syrup only to find out these cookies could be improved by yet another subtle adjustment…you catch my drift? ..That said, it’s hard for me to imagine them getting any better!
I made a few subtle changes to the same recipe I’ve been making for years, and those subtle changes made all the difference. I added tapioca flour for fluffy texture, some almond butter, and I used ghee instead of coconut oil. PLUS, I sprinkled the cookies with Himalayan Pink Salt when they came out of the oven, because: fancy and because: salt + sweet = epic mind meld.
The salty-sweet combo, the goo, the soft and chewy yet exterior crisp (it’s ALL ABOUT the crinkle top, can we agree?!) of these cookies makes them nearly indistinguishable from a regular chocolate chip cookie. My guess is if you handed one to a friend, he or she would never be able to tell the difference.
SOFT, CHEWY, AND GOOEY PALEO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
So if you’re tired of all the holiday hubbub, take a therapeutic baking moment for yourself and whip up a batch of (sorry ->) THE BEST paleo chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had the pleasure to consume.
Feel free to play around with it, too! Add more ghee, more pure maple syrup, try swapping out the pure maple syrup with a zero-sugar sweetener if you’re looking for a super low-carb cookie, etc. And of course, let me know in the comments what you did to modify the recipe…crowdsource baking at its finest right here!
But pace yourself. Don’t do as I did and eat 4 off the bat…they’re definitely sultry little temptresses, but you’ll want to save some for breakfast and of course share one or two them with your beloved humans.
12/23 UPDATE!: After posting this recipe, I had a number of people ask if they could substitute coconut oil for ghee. I whipped up the same recipe using 1/3 cup softened coconut oil instead of 1/3 cup ghee, and the result was also fabulous!
Now lettuce discuss how we go about baking the cookie dough.
There comes a time in everyone’s baking life when he or she questions if the dough should be rolled into a ball or not. Really, that’s a matter of preference. Here is what the cookies look like when you roll the dough into a ball prior to baking it:

Soft, Chewy, Gooey Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies - THE BEST grain-free, refined sugar-free paleo chocolate chip cookie recipe!
Both baking methodologies yield insanely delicious results, HOWEVER!:
My preference from a texture standpoint is to not dough roll. Simply dropping spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet yields that crispy crinkle top. They seem to be gooey-er this way, too!

You can also use dark chocolate chunks (as seen in the photo above) instead of chocolate chips. I chopped up a Lindt Lindor 60% Chocolate Bar for these cookies and was blown away by how amazing the cookies turned out. Of course adding a chocolate bar made with dairy and cane sugar makes this recipe un-paleo, but you guys…WE NEED THIS!
Happy cookie baking!

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Mix together the ghee, pure maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until very creamy. Add the egg and mix just until combined. (these are the wet ingredients)
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together all dry ingredients (almond flour, tapioca flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt).
  4. Mix the dry ingredients in the mixer with the wet ingredients until a dough forms. Mix in the chocolate chips until well-incorporated.
  5. Drop wads of dough onto a large baking sheet (you can also roll the dough into a balls and place balls on the baking sheet). Bake on the center rack of the oven 8 to 12 minutes (I baked mine for 10 on the dot for the ghee version and 12 on the dot for the coconut oil version), depending on desired level of goo or crisp.
  6. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool the rest of the way. Consume fresh out of the oven!

SPRING VEGETABLE BUDDHA BOWLS WITH AVOCADO GREEN GODDESS DRESSING Roasted spring vegetable Buddha bowls with asparagus, radishes, golden beets, cauliflower, peas, and a creamy dreamy mayo-free avocado-based green goddess dressing. WINNING! Does anyone else get a kick out of the psychology of food in relationships? You know that dance most couples do come 6pm? One person doesn’t care what they both eat, but the other person does, but he/she doesn’t want to make a big deal or cause a scene, so he/she’s super unspecific and vague about what he/she wants to eat, so the person who doesn’t care chooses because all he/she wants to do is find a solution and  eat , and the person who does care gets frustrated and makes a big deal and causes a scene because that’s not what he/she wanted, and their partner should know him/her well enough by now, and then there’s this passive-aggressive non-argument that leads to irritation for both people until dinner’s finally over and Netflix he...

SALMON AND ROOT VEGETABLE SHEET PAN DINNER

SALMON AND ROOT VEGETABLE SHEET PAN DINNER A one-pan sheet pan dinner recipe with winter root vegetables and salmon. A quick, adaptable recipe perfect for chilly winter evenings in, and the perfect go-to for paleo or Whole30 meals.   Aside from the snow, one of my favorite parts about winter is the produce. I bet you can guess why…  it’s because root vegetables are in season during the winter. Roots are incredibly nutritious, and are a brilliant for those who are looking to step up their vitamin and mineral intake, or for those who are looking for antinflammatory, antioxidant-rich foods. While this meal can be prepared using seasonal produce from any time of year, I’m loving the use of root vegetables for a speedy quick, comforting winter sheet pan dinner. It’s been long time since I’ve highlighted a new root vegetable on the blog, so I thought I’d talk about sunchokes for a hot second. Who here has heard of, tasted, and/or loves sunchokes? They’re such a coo...
