Just because you are eating healthy doesn’t mean the days of the cookie jar are out of the question. Fill up the cookie jar with these cookies and some “no oatmeal” cookies and you will be set for life, or almost!

This recipe is extremely easy and you can freeze these cookies like I do. I make plenty in advance and bring out a few more as the stack gets low. It sure saves me lots of time. This is a great recipe to have on hand for Santa too for when he comes in December. Or make these and pass them along to neighbors as a friendly holiday gift. Nobody will turn down a paleo cookie box!

      Hi Annette,

      That’s a good question, however I actually have no idea how many cookies this recipe yields. It really depends on on the size of the scoop you use. I always make extra and freeze the batter.

      Sorry – Next time I make them I will let you know the amount!

      Fondly,
      Tina
