When I first heard about the paleo gluten free diet, I had no idea that many paleo desserts that were also gluten-free were essentially classic desserts that could be made without any dairy, grains, or sugar! These are also egg-free! My first experiment in the kitchen was with chocolate chip cookies and playing around with almond flour and nuts. What a fun time I had, and what a mess I made in the kitchen! It was all well worth the effort. Before I knew it, they were a success and I was sold on the paleo way of eating. As long as I could still satisfy my sweet tooth without jeopardizing my blood sugar, I was in!
I went on to create paleo gluten-free cakes, ice cream, and all sorts of baked goodies without grains, sugar, or dairy. Try them out and let me know what you think!

Description
A delicious cookie classic made paleo! Yes, please!
Ingredients
- First bowl:
- 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup gluten-free dairy free chocolate
- ¼ cup chopped nuts of your choice
- Second bowl:
- ¼ cup organic honey
- ½ cup grapeseed oil
- OPTIONAL: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I didn’t use this in my recipe though)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- Combine the ingredients in your first bowl.
- Combine the ingredients in your second bowl.
- Mix the wet ingredients into the dry.
- Refrigerate the dough for 20 minutes.
- Place 1 tablespoon balls onto a parchment lined pan and flatten slightly (about ⅓ inch thick).
- Bake for approximately 7 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool first.
- Serve and store any leftovers in an air-tight container.

Notes
If you make small balls, the cooking time will be 6-8, depending on if you flatten them a bit and how soft you like your cookies.
If you use a larger spoon, they will need more time to bake, and again it depends on how soft you like your cookies.
