You know what’s weird?

We haven’t had a chocolate chip cookie recipe up on our website until now. So weird, because we love cookies, and obviously love chocolate chips, and definitely love chocolate chip cookies.

Things have changed people, this recipe for Paleo Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies will actually blow you away.

Not because they’re delicious (they are, but that’s not why), and not because they are vegan, gluten-free, paleo and an incredibly healthy dessert recipe. No no, they will blow you away by how simple the ingredient list is, how little sugar there is, and by HOW DELICIOUS they end up turning out.

These Paleo Coconut Cookies are made with almond flour, coconut, coconut oil and vegan chocolate chips, they are the perfect snack for when you really really want cookies, but also want to keep it a bit healthy, and you’ll definitely want to go back for more.

They have a delicious coconut flavour, but use our favourite cookie flour (almond flour of course, it’s so nutty and sweet) and blend perfectly with the chocolate chip explosion. We’re seriously hooked on these cookies.

Not only are they amaze-balls, but they have some pretty awesome nutrition benefits as well:

  • Almond flour is high in fiber, healthy fats and vitamin E
  • They only contain 2 Tbsp of maple syrup, making them a very low sugar treat (opt- out of the chocolate chips if you want less sugar)
  • Made with coconut oil, known to increase the HDL (happy) cholesterol in the body
  • High in healthy fats, protein and fiber, making it a wonderful blood sugar balancing snack attack
