How To Make Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

The key to making a chewy chocolate chip cookie is using the right amount of butter to sugar. For this recipe we used coconut sugar and kerrygold butter, either salted or unsalted will work. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl for a good 3 minutes until the mixture is very pale and creamy.

Most home bakers don’t beat the sugar and butter together long enough, this will help give the chocolate chip cookies a lovely chewy texture. Next up, add the vanilla extract, salt, and other wet ingredients listed down below in the recipe.

Add the paleo baking flour to the wet ingredients and mix by hand using a spatula until well combined. Since these chocolate chip cookies are gluten free, you can mix all you want and it won’t affect the batter.

For this recipe, we used Bob’s Red Mill paleo flour mix, You van get it anywhere, but Thrive Market has a great price on a two-pound bag, or make it at home using our recipe below. Add the chocolate chips, we used Hu Gems, they are massive and made with coconut sugar, easily the best chocolate chips you can buy!

Scoop the cookies on to a lined baking sheet and bake for 13 minutes. Cool and enjoy!

Homemade Paleo Baking Flour Mix

To make a homemade version of Bob’s Paleo Baking Mix, combine these ingredients in a bowl and then store in a air-tight container.

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup arrowroot starch
  • 2/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/3 cup tapioca starch

Can I Use Coconut Sugar To Make Cookies?

You can swap coconut sugar for cane sugar 1:1 for almost any recipe. We never used white sugar because it is highly processed and really bad for your health. Coconut sugar is a natural paleo sweetener that is also lower on the glycemic index than cane sugar.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup paleo flour mix
  • 1/2 cup plus + 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1 pasture raised and organic egg
  • ¾ cup paleo or sugar free chocolate chips
  • 1 stick 1/2 cup unsalted grass-fed butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a sheet tray with parchment paper. To a medium bowl, add the paleo mix, baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Mix well and set aside. In another bowl, beat the sugar and butter (or coconut oil/ghee) together for 1 minute on high using a hand mixer. Add the almond butter, vanilla, and beat on medium for another 15 seconds to combine. Add the egg and beat to combine once again.
  2. Add the dry mix to the wet mix and stir with a spatula until thoroughly combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix well. Cover the batter with plastic wrap and chill the batter for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator or even overnight.
  3. Use a cookie scoop or spoon, and place dough a few inches apart on sheet tray. You will have more dough than can fit on one sheet tray. Bake for 13 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Let cool on the sheet tray and enjoy!
