Look I’m just gonna be real honest here. Either you are gonna be my new BFF or you are going to unfollow me…all based entirely on this recipe. It’s not egg free, or nut free, or nightshade free. It has all the stuff that dreams are made of but it is NOT what cavemen ate. Now, I honestly think they would have but that is beside the point.
These are a treat. This recipe is not for healing autoimmune disease or for reversing anything chronic ever- ok it does reverse chronic boredom and ridiculous cravings, but that might not count in the world of “healing”.
But if you just really need something to treat yoself that isn’t white flour and bleached sugar, I invite you into my world to try these. I am pretty sure if you aren’t allergic or the paleo police, we are going to be lifelong pals. But you’ll just have to let me know!!!
These are Paleo Potato Chip Cookies. They are pretty much my new reason for living. I mean sure my kids and husband are great, but these, these are my everything. Gosh I’m dramatic. I blame the book launch week for Down South Paleo – I am all sorts of messed up. Thank goodness for new cookie recipes to bring life into perspective!
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup cassava flour
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup brown butter ghee
- 1/2 cup potato chips (fried in avocado oil), crushed
- 1/4 cup pecans chopped fine
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon 100% vanilla
- 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar
- 1/4 cup 100% maple syrup
- Pinch sea salt
- 3/4 cup dairy free chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350
- Combine all ingredients except for the chocolate in a bowl and stir to combine
- Take a tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball and press it to about 1/4 inch thick
- Place unbaked cookie onto a parchment lined cookie sheet
- Repeat until all dough is used
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, remove and allow to cool
- While cookies are baking, melt chocolate either in microwave or double boiler method, stir until smooth
- Once cookies are cool, spoon melted chocolate onto 1/2 of each cookie
- Transfer cookies to the fridge or freezer to help chocolate solidify (5-10 minutes)
- Enjoy and try not to eat all of them in one sitting
Oh yes! My one food combination that is my “sin”, that I will never give up is plain potato chips and some dark chocolate. I seriously love you right now! Saving this recipe for later. THANK YOU
We must be soul mates! I can. not. wait. to make these.
(Should step 1 say to combine everything it the chocolate?)
*but the chocolate
Can a different flour be substituted for the cassava flour?
You could try almond flour, though I have not tried it myself!
Nuts are great for so many reasons, but they send my kids to the hospital. Did you add the pecans to the recipe for texture/nuttiness/volume/some other reason? Just trying to figure out if I can replace them with something else, and if so, what. I’m thinking maybe sunflower seeds, but I’m not sure until I know the motivation for adding the pecans to begin with. Thanks!
You could try sunflower seeds! The pecans add flavor more than texture I think. The potato chips provide the texture more than the pecans!
Would it be okay to substitute ghee with the brown butter ghee?! Just ran out of brown butter over the weekend and want to makes these tonight!
Marry me ??
LOL!
These look AMAZING, and I really want to try them. Scary thing is, I’ll end up eating them all MYSELF and won’t want to share them with my sweet family!
Here’s what I do…when I make a treat and am afraid of eating the whole batch, I pass them off to my neighbors! Of course if you wanted to, you could indeed eat the whole batch and I wouldn’t judge!
