One of my favorite treats is a homemade chocolate chip cookie. I've spent many a weekend trying to perfect the perfect cookie - butter vs. crisco, white vs. brown sugar ratio, adding oatmeal, etc. I got pretty close to making my idea of the perfect cookie. I still enjoy making cooking with my boys, it's just not a once a week activity like it used to be.
I've been searching high and low for a grain-free, paleo cookie that would satisfy that need for something sweet, yet still remain compliant. Enter the "Welcome to Chunky Town" chocolate chip cookie from Taylor Made It Paleo. This girl is adorable and makes some pretty amazing looking treats.
So many of her recipes look delicious, but I decided to try these cookies because her mom said they were the best paleo treat she's ever made. I'd say that's probably the truth because these are delicious!
The players:
Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup sunflower seed butter*
1/3 cup honey
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
salt to taste
1/2 cup chopped walnuts**
1/2 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chips***
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Using a cookie scoop, spoon mixture into balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Press cookies down lightly with a fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Enjoy!!
*I used creamy, but chunky would be great, too. You could also sub any other nut butter.
**Any nut would be yummy
***Target now carries Enjoy Life chips! They are soy, dairy, and nut free. I'm sure you could substitute with any chocolate chip.
Yummy!!!
