Simple Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today we present the chocolate chip cookies that are gluten-free, dairy-free, and grain-free, and always delicious. I really enjoying coming up with new cooking concoctions for the Paleo diet, so I thought it was time that I try to do the classic chocolate chip cookie. I made similar bars there a while, but like the way the witnesses proved even better. I could not stop eating these when they were warm from the oven, with a little almond milk served alongside for dipping. They are beyond delicious.

Because of the addictive nature of these cookies, I recommend making a little smaller in shape. They are also easier to manage when Downsized a little. But the dough is perfectly adaptable to a larger, flat cookie if you are going for. Big or small, you can choose to take the time to shape the dough into flat circles or just plop right on the hob; it depends on whether you care about the look or just the taste of the final result. They will not change shape much once they go into the oven. They taste amazing, no matter how you train them.

We have received some questions about where to find dark chocolate chips because dark chocolate is more Paleo-friendly than chocolate milk. I found a great option for Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips. If you are looking for something more accessible, which can be found in the local grocery store, just buy a bar of dark chocolate and cut into pieces. This would make these Chocolate Chunk cookies instead of chocolate chip cookies, I suppose, but I'm sure they all taste as good.

Quick tip - I learned a good cooking stuff when it comes to using coconut oil. A tablespoon of coconut oil is not the same as a tablespoon of melted coconut oil, so check your measurements before adding to a recipe. Measure the oil after the merger so as not to add too much by mistake. This can cause cookies to flatten.

If cookies survive long enough to transfer to a gate, which means if you do not eat all of them, then just a word of advice to take care during the transfer. Cookies will be soft when removed from the oven, and firm up a few minutes after cooling.

For cookies that have survived the first session snack right out of the oven, I have them stored in a sealable bag and kept them in the refrigerator. They make a real quick treat after lunch or dinner. I remained completely without guilt after indulging in a delicious chocolate chip cookie, and it is certainly enough to satisfy my sweet tooth.
