Nut Free Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

January 20, 2014 by predominantlypaleo 13 Comments

 

Nut Free Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies 

This recipe is something i have been toying with for awhile…many ‘paleo’ baked goods use nut flours, which are delicious and easy to use, BUT leave out an entire population of people who cannot consume nuts (or choose not to). These cookies use a few different ingredients (some less paleo if you avoid potatoes) and create a thin, buttery, crispy chocolate chip cookie, with a slightly chewy center.  If you prefer a thicker cookie, you can try these! 

I made these for my integrative doc who has a son diagnosed with autism who coincidentally has to avoid nuts. I am so grateful she was able to share these with him and when she emailed me his response afterwards, said he was beaming from his enjoyment. I am so glad to be able to share the “untouchable” treats with those who feel like they are missing out. It brings me a joy I cannot describe!

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup 100% organic maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
  • 3 tablespoons palm shortening
  • 1/4 teaspoon himalayan salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure gluten free vanilla
  • 1/2 cup potato starch + 2 tablespoons
  • 1/2 cup arrowroot flour + 3 tablespoons
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup dairy free chocolate chips (i use enjoy life)
  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Combine eggs, maple syrup, shortening, coconut oil, salt, and vanilla until thoroughly blended (i use an immersion blender)
  3. Then incorporate flours until well incorporated – batter/dough consistency will be more like pancake batter.
  4. Let sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly then add chocolate chips
  5. On a parchment or foil lined cookie sheet, spoon approximately one tablespoon at a time, spacing cookies 3 inches apart (dough will spread when baking)
  6. Bake for 15 minutes or until slightly golden on edges – center might be less brown
  7. These are best served fresh out of the oven or by next day!

      I am not able to find the thicker cookie that you have a link to in the above sentences. It’s saying it has expired, . Can I get that from you?

    Very cool, I want to try these using gelatin for the eggs since my husband is allergic. He’s allergic to nuts and coconut too so with all those allergies, baked goods don’t happen unless we go outside the lines of Paleo and just use a GF flour mix that contains rice flour. which, honestly is not that big of a deal since it’s occasional (and he does Paleo plus rice anyway) but adapting this would be cool too!

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
