Our recipe was inspired by these Salted Dark Chocolate Cookies from Sally’s Baking Addiction. We basically wanted to eat those cookies but we wanted them to be made with healthier, less inflammatory ingredients.

So we tweaked the ingredients to make them a bit healthier.

Why this recipe works

• These cookies are part fudgy cookie and part brownie and they come together to make chocolate amazingness.
• The combination of almond flour, tapioca flour, and coconut flour makes a wonderful gluten-free cookie mixture.
• They are allergy friendly. They are gluten-free, dairy-free, and grain-free.
• They are also Paleo friendly.
• These Paleo chocolate cookies are simple to make and even easier to eat.

Recipe Ingredients

• almond flour– blanched almond flour works best for baking.

• cocoa powder– make sure to use an unsweetened cocoa powder.
• baking soda– this helps the cookies rise.
