These cookies have crisp, buttery edges with a doughy center. There is plenty of chocolate melted throughout the cookies. Even if you don’t think you will like a paleo, gluten-free dessert, this is one cookie you’ll like for sure!

This recipe comes from a new book by Rachel Conners: Bakerita. Rachel has a blog of the same name: Bakerita.com. An expert in healthy baking, she has written a whole cookbook of gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free sweet treats (mostly baked goods). This is a great book to have if you have food allergies or other food limitations to consider.

Here are a few recipes in the book that have caught my eye:

How to make Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies:

The full, printable recipe is at the end of this post. First combine the coconut sugar and coconut oil. Then add egg and vanilla. Stir in almond flour, baking soda and salt. Add in chopped bittersweet chocolate. This is your dough for making paleo chocolate chip cookies. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour (and up to 24 hours).

Scoop rounded blobs of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Add more chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt to the tops of the cookie dough blobs. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

Store baked cookies in a covered container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They may also be frozen for up to 3 months. Enjoy!
