Learn more about what to eat and what not to eat on the paleo diet. Likewise, they use a base of almond flour in place of wheat and are naturally sweetened with maple syrup and just a hint of honey. In addition to the honey and maple syrup, these paleo chocolate chip cookies use semi-sweet chocolate chips! Enjoy life chocolate chips are dairy and gluten-free, vegan, and non-GMO. Thus, they’re pretty much the healthiest chocolate chips to use when making any paleo desserts. You cannot sub almond flour for paleo flour in a one-to-one ratio. This is because most paleo flours have a binder in them to hold baked treats together. Since almond flour does not include a binding ingredient, it can not be substituted. Similarly, many paleo flours will “rise” when baked. Almond flour, being just almonds, will not. These paleo cookies are sheer perfection. They’re sweet but not too sweet, which makes them perfect for kids. In regards to the texture of the cookies, they’re not soft but thick and almost crumbly. They do fall apart easily but they also melt in your mouth as well. They’re the best paleo cookies to bring to a group of “regular” people who may be skeptical about trying a healthier dessert. The cookies are very similar (and make with mostly the same ingredients) as these paleo cookie dough bites. These are another great option to win over people to the paleo diet. For this recipe, the almond flour is bound by a combination of almond butter and honey. This creates a sticky texture that eliminated the need for eggs. While this won’t work for all recipes, it does work for a lot. Easy to make, these paleo chocolate chip cookies are a hit with everyone!
