Recipes: Primal Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe is a variation of the Chocolate Chip Cookies from The Food Lover’s Kitchen/Primal Palate site.  I made a few changes and wanted to post them here.

Ingredients

• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
• 1/2 cup Butter, unsalted
  
• 2 tbsp unsweetened coconut milk (if needed, if batter seems a bit dry)
• 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
• 1/4 cup Coconut sugar
• 3 whole Eggs, Pastured
• 2 cups Almond Flour
• 1/2 cup Arrowroot Starch
• 1/2 cup Coconut Flour

Process

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl combine dry ingredients (flours, baking soda, salt).
3. In a small mixing bowl beat eggs, butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer.
4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and beat with hand mixer until combined.
5. Stir in chocolate chips.
6. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, drop balls of cookie dough, about a tablespoon in size (flatten slightly – they don’t flatten on their own).
7. Bake for 12-14 minutes.
8. Let cool on wire cookie racks.  Makes approx 24-36 cookies.

*Variation: update, January 21st – I ran short of almond flour, so replaced 1/2 cup I was missing with arrowroot starch/powder (I use this in combination with almond flour for the paleo bread I make for my sons).  I found it make the baked cookie quite nice.
