Paleo Espresso Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Description
These Paleo Espresso Chocolate Chunk Cookies use a combination of almond flour and tapioca flour to keep the texture tender yet sturdy. Instant espresso granules mixed into the dry ingredients provide a mild coffee flavor that enhances the chocolate chunks folded into the dough. Coconut oil and coconut sugar supply moisture and sweetness, while egg and vanilla extract bind the ingredients and add richness.
After chilling the dough, spoonfuls are baked at 375°F for 8 to 15 minutes, allowing control over the final cookie texture from chewy to crisp. Cooling before serving helps the cookies set properly.
The espresso flavor is subtle, complementing the chocolate without overpowering. These cookies make an interesting choice for those wanting a coffee note in their baked treats, suitable for snacking or pairing with a cup of tea or coffee.
