Paleo No-Bake Cookies
Report
These Paleo No-Bake Cookies are naturally sweetened and easy to make! They taste like the traditional version, without using oats or chocolate chips.

Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring the maple syrup to a boil. Once it's bubbling, set a timer for 3 minutes. When the timer goes off, remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the cacao powder, coconut oil, nut butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Once the mixture looks smooth, stir in the shredded coconut and sliced almonds. (I use 1 cup of each, but feel free to use any mix-ins you prefer.)
- When the nuts and seeds are coated in the chocolate mixture, use a cookie scoop to drop the mixture onto a large parchment-lined baking sheet. If you're using a 1 ½ tablespoon scoop, you should get roughly 16 cookies from this batch. (A smaller scoop will create more than that.)
- Flatten the cookies into your desired shape, then place the pan in the freezer to set. When frozen, they should firm up in 30 minutes. Or, place the pan in the fridge for about 1 hour. Once the cookies feel firm, they are ready to enjoy. Serve these cookies chilled from the refrigerator for the best texture. They will soften if left at room temperature for too long.
Notes
- Nutrition information is for 1 of 16 cookies, assuming you used sliced almonds. This information is automatically calculated using ingredients from a generic database, so it's just an estimate and not a guarantee.
- Update Note: This recipe was originally published in 2012 using a 1/2 cup of honey, one more tablespoon of coconut oil, and sunflower butter. Over the years, I've found that I prefer the flavor of these cookies with maple syrup (and many readers have reported that, too). If you prefer the original recipe, swap the maple syrup for honey and add an extra tablespoon of coconut oil. Honey needs to boil for only 1 minute instead of 3 minutes. Either way these are delicious!
- Make these Nut-Free: Use sunflower butter as the "nut butter" and sunflower seeds as the mix-ins for a nut-free treat.
