Paleo Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is by far the best Paleo cookie recipe I have tried.  My first attempt failed as I used alomnd flour instead of coconut flour and ended up with little pancakes, but the second attempt with the correct ingredients was a success!  Such a delicious treat!!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup raw honey (or natural sweetener of choice)
• 4 omega 3 eggs
• 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp of celtic sea salt
• 1/2 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut
• 3/4 cup of 70% dark chocolate chips (or raw cacao nibs)
• Parchment Paper (optional)

Process:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. In a medium sized bowl, combine eggs, coconut oil, honey*, vanilla extract and salt. Once this is mixed, blend in the coconut flour.
3. Stir in shredded coconut and chocolate chips

    
  4.  On parchment lined baking sheets, drop heaping tablespoons of cookie batter **

  5.  Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

*In a smaller bowl, I used the microwave to melt down the honey and coconut oil together. Heat until liquid form.
** Make sure to form the cookie shape when placing on the baking sheet, as these do not rise and spread like conventional cookies.
