These all natural paleo chocolate chip cookies are gluten free, grain free, dairy free, soy free, preservative free, GMO free and yet still incredibly DELICIOUS!!!
I’ve fallen in love again…with paleo cookies that is!!! I stumbled upon The Paleo Cookie Company cookies during a visit to my local Plum Market. I thought they looked great and then I saw they were Paleo, I thought let’s give it a shot so I could see what the craze was all about.
Have you heard of this lifestyle of eating by the way? Basically it means that if it can be hunted and gathered, then you’re good to go! So meats, fish, nuts, leafy greens, veggies, and seeds are all allowed but you must say goodbye to refined sugars, pastas, grains and dairy!! Ouch!! Let’s just say my nutritionist loves this diet. She says it has a great anti-inflammatory effect.
Anyway, I put the cookies in my cart along with some other groceries and headed home. I get home and try the cookie and I immediately start waltzing across the kitchen floor. It was nothing short of spectacular!!!
I had found an all natural, healthy cookie that was gluten free, grain free, dairy free, soy free, preservative free, GMO free and still DELICIOUS!!! OMG!! I then noticed that my 4 Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies were $10.99!!! WHAT?!?!?! I must admit that I even did it twice!!! The struggle was SO real!!! I knew then that if I was going to continue to enjoy these yummy cookies, that I was gonna have to make them myself.
So I scoured the internet to find something that I thought would come close to what I had come to know and love in this Paleo Chocolate Chip cookie. The Paleo Cookie Company actually lists their ingredients but of course not the full recipe so I had a good place to start.
I made 12 cookies for about the same price of the 4 that I bought from Plum Market! SCORE!!! Guys, you’ve just got to try them for yourself and let me know what you think. I just can’t stop eating them which may or may not defeat the purpose. Hubby enjoyed them as well! Can you believe an ole country boy could actually enjoy a Paleo cookie???YEP! Now that’s a miracle!!! Whether you try these delicious Paleo cookies or not, remember “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – Corinthians 10:31 (NLT). Amen? Say Grace and enjoy!!

Wow. These cookies are stunning! I can’t believe they are paleo. Amazing.
I MUST be rescued, Linda!!! Thanks!! 🙂
I love that these are paleo, those big chips are calling out to me!
Me too!! I could enjoy these almost every week!!! 🙂
These cookies are simply great. The best cheat treat I’ve had. Great with hot drinks too.
So glad you enjoyed them, my friend!! 🙂
Not only a great sounding recipe, your photos make me want to take a bite!!!
Awe!!! Thanks so much Dan!! 🙂
For a long time, I wondered what Paleo means… now I know! Thanks so much! And yes, sometimes cooking at home is SO much more economical (and delicious!) than buying outside….
I am truly in love!!! ?
These cookies look delicious, but though Paleo is similar to Low Carb, it isn’t. Do you think I could substitute a Sugar Free Honey in place of the maple syrup, to lower the carbs, and achieve similar results?
Hi Kelly! Yes, honey should do just fine in this recipe! Let me know how they turn out for you!! 🙂
These Paleo cookies look absolutely mouthwatering. I am hungry just looking at the pics! Will try this soon.
Thanks so much! Be sure to let me know how they turn out for you!
These cookies were sooo good! Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed them, Alexis!! 🙂
At what point do you add the dry ingredients to the egg/oil mixture?
Hi Stephanie! I have updated the recipe. Let me know how you like them. Such a favorite for me!!
The cookie mix I made cake out very runny, nothing at all like your pictures. I double checked the recipe and everything seems fine. To confirm, “c” means cup and the uppercase “T” means tablespoon, right?
Not sure what went wrong as I’ve made this recipe several times. Are you using 1 1/4 c. plus 2 T almond flour?
I made these today, but I left out the shredded coconut. My cookies flattened out super thin in the oven and looked nothing like yours. Do you think I need to add something else if I leave out that ingredient?
Did you happen to melt the coconut oil?
My cookies came out extremely runny. Not sure what went wrong. I triple checked my measurements. Help?
I’m sorry that happened Pablo. I’ve made this recipe several times as written and haven’t had any issues with it. I hope you’ll give it another try.
My family are in love with these cookies!! And just one cookie can fill you up which is awesome… especially as they are so delicious you want to keep going! We used maple syrup the first time and substituted for honey the next time and both came out perfectly. They are a favorite for treating friends who like to eat healthy or on special diets, and an answer to prayer for taking care of a husband who has undergone multiple chemotherapy treatment and needs to eat very healthy. He loves them! My advice for those who had flattened cookies- measure very carefully and go exactly according to the recipe… and finally, make them when you are happy and relaxed and I’m sure they will work out beautifully for you! These are definitely worth trying again if they didn’t work the first time. I cooked mine exactly 14 minutes and they were perfectly shaped and lightly browned. These are my favorite cookies and a hit with all my friends! Thank you and well done for creating such a incredible recipe!
SO glad you enjoy them Brenda!!
