Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe! No Gluten, Dairy, Nuts, & Grain - Paleo Style

I've tried many attempts to make this as close to the real thing. I must say this is pretty darn close. It has a nice crispy edge and a soft and chewy inside. It's everything you want a healthier cookie to be.

You can convert it to a vegan cookie, if you substitute the yolks with a vegan egg replacement.

The flour that I used for this cookie is called cassava flour. Its a vegetable root that comes from the underground part of the cassava shrub. Like potatoes and yams. Cassava roots have a similar shape to sweet potatoes. Compared to potatoes, yuca root (or cassava root) is higher in calories, protein, and carbs. This makes it ideal for athletes and active individuals.

I started making these for my family and they don't last very long! You must try this one out for yourself and have a cup of coffee or tea with it! I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as I do! :)

Tips

You can add a ½ cup of toasted chopped pecans to make them even tastier!

If you're wondering where to get the butter flavored coconut oil from. I like using this brand called, Dutchman’s Popcorn Coconut Oil Butter Flavored Oil.

It's a really good butter alternative for pop corn or any baking needs that require butter or butter flavors. I really enjoy this coconut oil.
