PaleYOLO: Grain Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Thank you, PaleoPlan.com! Here's my version of the Grain Free Chocolate Chip Cookies...
 
 
Directly off their website...

Ingredients

  • 3 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup raw honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375℉.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Set aside.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs, honey, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer, or wire whisk.
  5. Pour wet ingredients slowly into dry ingredients and beat with mixer or fork until combined.
  6. Add the melted coconut oil and continue to blend until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
  7. Drop Tablespoon size balls of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes.

My Variations:
I used 70% cacao chocolate chunks. And I think I undercooked (top set) and overcooked (bottom set) the cookies. It was my first time so, uh... TRIAL AND ERROR! As a honey substitute, apple or pear puree would work too.

My boss tried it and she's a health nut. She said to probably use half the amount of honey and use half ripe naners puree :) Next time!
