Paleo Chocolate Chunk Cookies

The recipe I'm sharing with you today is, hands down, my FAVORITE Paleo dessert recipe out there (and I've tried quite a few good ones!).  These Chocolate Chunk Cookies are, in my opinion, some of the best cookies in the world - Paleo or not.

I've shared this recipe with countless friends and all the lovely ladies I work with, and we are all beyond hooked.  I could write love songs about these cookies...that's how good they are.  Hard to believe they're actually pretty good for you, too - gluten, grain, and dairy free!  I can eat 5 of them without feeling bad; that's what I call a cherry-on-top! ;)

This recipe makes 10 cookies (I usually double it)...Enjoy!!

Paleo Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup almond meal

1/8 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. baking soda

3 Tbsp. coconut oil

2 Tbsp. honey

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 Tbsp. almond milk

1/4 cup dark chocolate pieces (use whatever dark chocolate you want based on preferences/diet)

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2) Combine dry ingredients in a medium-sixed bowl.

3) Whisk together wet ingredients in a small bowl.

4) Add wet to dry and mix together.

5) Fill a tablespoon measure with batter and press down to form a half-circle.  Tap batter out onto baking sheet and lightly press down in the center.

5) Bake for 11 minutes or until bottoms just start to turn brown. They will be soft when removed from oven but will firm up in a few minutes.
