Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup coconut oil melted and cooled
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 ounces dark chocolate chopped OR 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt such as Maldon for sprinkling (optional but highly recommended!)
Notes
- *For a totally Paleo recipe, be sure to use a dairy free chocolate. I like to have a mix of big chunks and finely chopped pieces for the best flavor and textural variation. If you'd like to substitute chocolate chips, use 1 ½ cups.
- Make sure you line your sheet pans with parchment paper (NOT wax paper) or a silpat, otherwise the cookies will stick to the pan
- parchment paper
- Make sure the coconut oil has cooled down a bit before adding to the batter or it could scramble the eggs
- The batter might seem a bit loose at first. Let it sit for a few minutes and it will firm up into a thick cookie dough.
- It's important to press the balls of cookie dough down before baking otherwise they won't flatten.
