Best Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
The only healthy cookie recipe you will ever need- and it’s made in five minutes! Four ingredient- thick and chewy cookie of your dreams. These paleo gluten free cookies are sweetened with coconut sugar. Grain free, flourless, and dairy free.
I’M LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE!!!!
No, really!!
These cookies are worth a scream.
Pardon me while I yaahooooo! On repeat.
Ready in five minutes.
Made in the food processor.
Made with four ingredients.
These cookies are the yin to my yang, the Rory to my Lorelai, the cookies to my milk, if you will.
….Did I just say that?
Yes! Yes! And yes! The hype is real.
Wheat eaters love them.
Paleo eaters love them.
And they are so easy your kids can make them- or if you’re just a big kid yourself, then these are perfect for you too! 😉
Cookies on repeat!
You know those cookies that melt away in your mouth with sweetness.
The ones you keep reaching for over and over, even though you know you should have stopped about three cookies back…
Um, well hello beauties!
These easy flourless nut butter cookies are my new best reason for staying in the kitchen all day on this rainy day. 🙂
This recipe has been my family’s favorite, but we have been too busy eating them to share with you (sooo sorry!).
They finally broke me though- they told me they were just too good not to share.
So here ya go!
Every ounce, every bite, every crumb of deliciousness.
I have been busy baking up a storm and testing recipes.
I’ve been in my yoga pants and top bun making cookie fails, cookie wins, burnt cookies, chewy cookies, plump ones, and underdone ones.
My family graciously devourers all my experiments; ranging from gross- to too good to share.
All of them are gobbled up, including raw cookie dough- because YUM!!
My favorite part!
Gimme the spatula, a bowl of cookie dough, and I’m a happy girl.
Every home baker needs these sea salt flakes in her (or his) kitchen shelves!
It makes everything tastier, happier, and more beautiful.
Add a pinch of these sea salt flakes to your cookies and you will want to eat another.
Okay, maybe second thought, spare yourself the temptation and leave out the salt (not really).😜
How to store your cookies (If you can resist them)
As far as keeping these treats fresh as long as possible…
If you are sure they won’t disappear within the first 24-48 hours, then I suggest storing them in the freezer or fridge.
But my favorite place to store them is on top of the fridge within arms reach.
They will last longer than 48 hours just on the countertop, but I always opt for keeping everything as fresh as possible, so into the fridge or freezer it goes!
You do you, though. 🙂

Hi Kalie- these look amazing! But do you think they would work with flaxseed egg? Thanks 🙂
Hi Nicole, it’s worth a try… it may work, I haven’t personally tried it so I cannot say for sure.
Can I use sunbutter instead of peanut butter?
Yes, totally!
Des oeufs de lin…?????Qu’est-ce que c’est?
A flax egg is a vegan egg substitute, that is made up of ground flax seeds and water.
Pardon, en francaise! Un Å“uf de lin est un substitut d’Å“uf végétalien, composé de graines de lin broyées et d’eau.
THESE cookies, are my favorite. I have to be careful when I make them, cause I WILL end up eating most all of them at once. LOL
Thank you Donna! Glad you love them!
Hi! I tried making this and followed the recipe to the letter. However, the dough becomes runny and when baked it spreads out too much and is like a sponge cake, more than a cookie. Help please. Could it be the baking soda? I live in a tropical country.
Hi Lara, sorry to hear that. I have literally made this recipe SO many times and that has never happened to me, so I’m not sure what’s going on. Did you double check your ingredients?
Can I use honey instead of coconut sugar? Would it be a 1 for 1 conversion?
Hi Melissa, I don’t know if that would work, since one is a liquid and one is not- I’m betting not, but you could try!
These were delicious! I have two little boys who love chocolate chip cookies and they were not disappointed! Thank you for sharing and can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
Thanks for doing the Nutrition Facts breakdown. Is this based on eating 1 of the 15 cookies or all of them? Thank you!
Hi Nicole, it’s based on 1 cookie 🙂
No wonder I didn’t feel good after eating 10 cookies! They are delicious. I add a little salt, vanilla, and coconut flour too…yummm. You are talented!!
Thank you Nicole! Glad you enjoyed them 🙂
Hi! I just made them and followed the recipe to the detail. Unfortunately, the dough spread out too much and the consistency is not like a cookie, it is runny/soft more like a sponge cake, they look nothing like yours ha ha. What do you think it could be? Thanks!
Hi Anwella, sorry to hear that. What kind of nut butter did you use?
Hi Kaylie! I used peanut butter. I made them again last week, put them in a muffin paper liner to prevent them from spreading but they came out with cake/muffin consistency. I guess it is because there is no flour to hold it together? Also, when do you add the chocolate? I find that if I add it from the beggining it melts down…. Thanks!!
Hi Anwella, I’m sorry to hear that- did you use the exact same ingredients? I add the chocolate in after the batter is smooth.
Your photographs and incredible! I’m loving your blog. These look amazing! I will definitely be making. Peanut butter is NOT Paleo however. 🙂 A common misconception for sure! They are a legume (along with other things in a pod, like snap peas). I will be subbing for almond butter though so I can have them!!
Hi Georgia, thank you! Yes, I know- the instructions however call for other nut butter for paleoers :). Hope that helps!
Hi!! I just made them again ( I´m a bit stubborn…..ha ha) and finally got the right consistency and they look very similar to yours!! Yaaay! I bought a different brand of peanut butter so maybe that is why……. They´re delicious and pretty 😊Thanks!
Can I substitute coconut butter for the almond butter??
Hi Jill, coconut butter has a different texture, so I wouldn’t, but you could use peanut or cashew butter. 🙂
I am alergect to milk,way and dairy and lots of these restapies helped me a lot.
Glad to hear Payton!
Can you add cocoa to make chocolate cookies?
Hi Rose, that may work, but it will probably change the cookie a bit texture wise.
I had read the reviews on this cookie and saw that some people commented the batter was too runny and they came out flat but I still wanted to try them, I am obsessed with peanut butter! I halved the recipe just in case they didn’t turn out good or I didn’t like them but boy was I wrong! They came out perfect! they look exactly like the picture and they are also delicious. This recipe is for sure a keeper! Thank you.
Great to hear Marisol, glad you enjoyed them. 🙂
