FOOD!!!
This recipe was borrowed from:
http://crossfitrebellion.com/paleo-cookies/
Original Paleo Cookie:
1-1/4 cups blanched almond flour (it has to be the blanched flour. Almond meal will give you a totally different consistency)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp celtic sea salt
2 TBSP coconut oil, melted
4 TBSP honey
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Mix flour baking soda & salt in a small bowl. In a separate bowl mix melted coconut oil, honey and vanilla. Then incorporate dry ingredients into wet and mix well. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spoon small balls of your mixture onto cookie sheet (or use a small cookie scoop). Use the palm of your hand or a fork to flatten the cookie (they will not spread on their own like regular cookies).
Bake at 325 for 6-8 minutes (depending on size and your oven) or until slightly golden brown.
*variations*
I’ve made several variations of this cookie as well. And there are several more I’d like to try. Here are a few ideas:
Chocolate Paleo cookie: Everything the same as above, but add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder to your dry ingredients. Chocolatey & delicious.
Grain Free, Dairy free Chocolate Chip cookie – so these aren’t paleo because of the chocolate, but they are still much better than a traditional cookie. Add a 1/4 of good quality dark chocolate chips to the Original Paleo Cookie recipe. *Your mixture will probably be a little warm from the melted coconut oil. Make sure to let it cool first before adding the chocolate chips. Trust me on this one.
Coconut Cake Cookie - add 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut and 1/4 tsp pure almond extract. I haven’t made these, but the idea popped in my head and I think they would be good. I’ll update this post when I try them.
Paleo Pecan Sandie – add 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans to the original recipe. Again haven’t tried yet, but in my mind they would be good.
