Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder (Paleo-friendly)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cacao)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, vanilla protein powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir until well mixed.
In another bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon, scoop rounded amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Gently flatten each cookie with your hand or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your protein-packed paleo cookies!
