Delicious Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie

I know what you're thinking- Paleo? Gluten Free? BORING! But I promise you my friend, this is anything but boring. This recipe adopted by Ambitious Kitchen is the closest tasting to the real deal. 

Recipe:

1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup coconut sugar ( you can also sub for brown sugar)
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1./4 teaspoon salt
3 oz dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
Coarse sea salt, for garnish *OPTIONAL
1/2 pack of Vanilla Pudding (powder mix, not the actual pudding) *OPTIONAL

Instructions: Yields 12-16 cookies
​

• Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper
• Whisk Almond Flour, Coconut flour, baking powder and salt in mixing bowl
• Combine coconut oil and coconut sugar in a medium mixing bowl and beat on medium until thick paste forms.
• Add eggs and vanilla and beat until light in color. 
• Add dry ingredients and mix until the dough holds together. If you want to try adding 1/2 packet of Vanilla Pudding, add with the dry ingredients. Its optional but gives the cookie a fluffier texture and stronger vanilla flavor. 
• Drop dough in heaping teaspoons onto parchment paper. Gently flatten dough with your hand and bake until edges are slightly golden (about 10-13 minutes)

TIPS:
*If you can't have almond flour because of allergies sub for 1/3 cup coconut flour only. AND 2 eggs.
*You can use any chocolate your heart desires. But the quality of chocolate makes all the difference in this recipe. I used Theo Dark Chocolate. 

​Enjoy!
