Here are 9 of the best Paleo chocolate chip cookie recipes you’ll ever find. Plus you can learn about whether chocolate chips really are Paleo. I have a list of the Best Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes here for you to enjoy as a treat once in awhile…
There is some question as to whether or not chocolate should be included in the Paleo Diet. Some Paleo eaters include it while others do not. This subject is discussed quite a bit. I found two articles that I thought worth mentioning. They discuss a number of facts which include pros and cons as to whether chocolate chips should be included in a Paleo diet.

These articles should help you determine whether or not you think chocolate should be included in your Paleo Diet.
There is also some controversy as to whether maple syrup and molasses are allowed in the Paleo diet. I agree with the articles that say to eat those things in moderation, as a treat once in awhile.
To read the full articles go Here and Here.

9 of the Best Paleo Coconut Flour Cookies Recipes
Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes
1. Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies – My Natural Family
Almond Flour – Coconut Flour – Tapioca Flour – Real Salt – Maple Syrup – Raw Honey – Coconut Oil – Eggs – Dark Chocolate Chips
Since starting a Paleo lifestyle I’ve really missed chocolate chip cookies about as much as anything. I was so glad to learn about almond flour and other gluten-free flours. They saved my sanity and my life. I am so excited to have found these. They are a classic that no one can resist. Whenever I decide to make something sweet, my kids always want these.
2. Paleo Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies – My Natural Family
Almond Flour – Tapioca Flour – Pumpkin Puree – Apple Sauce – Chocolate Chips – Honey – Pumpkin Pie Spice
I like these Paleo pumpkin chocolate chip cookies because they are full of pumpkin flavor, they are not too sweet and they have kind of a cakey texture. That’s what I expect from a pumpkin cookie. These are really good, I don’t want to brag but they are a lot better than the ones you buy from the store. Even those made in a bakery. They are actually pretty healthy too because they only have 1 tablespoon of oil in the whole batch and only 2 tablespoons of honey. I sweetened them up with a little applesauce too. Healthy Healthy Healthy
3. Best Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies – Soft Batch – My Natural Family
Butter – Maple Syrup – Honey – Cassava Flour – Arrowroot Starch – Chocolate Chips
These chocolate chip cookies are the best SOFT Paleo cookies around. They are not crispy or crunchy, they are soft. So if you like soft chocolate chip cookies as opposed to crunchy you should try these. Actually, I prefer these to the crunchy ones. I like them soft, I just don’t like when they fall apart in your hand.
4. Ultimate Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies – Paleo Running Mama
Egg – Almond Butter – Coconut Oil – Coconut Sugar – Vanilla Extract – Almond Flour – Dark Chocolate Chips -Baking Soda
Michele says she has tried hundreds of Paleo chocolate chip cookies and these are the best ones she ever has eaten. So I guess we better make a batch of these and see if she’s right. Let me know if they are good as she claims.
5. Pomegranate Chocolate Chip Cookies – VeguKate
Oat Flour – Buckwheat Flour – Ground Flax – Cacao Powder – Real Salt – Ground Cinnamon – Coconut Sugar, Maple Syrup – Coconut Oil – Dark Chocolate Chips – Pomegranate Seeds
These are more healthy than 90% of the cookies in the world. You won’t find tons of sugar or butter in this recipe. Instead, you will find rolled oats, buckwheat flour, cacao powder, and almond butter. Instead of sprinkles and food coloring, you’ll find some really pretty pomegranate seeds. They provide color, flavor, and fiber. Win-win in my opinion.
6. Coconut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – Hold The Grain
Cassava Flour – Coconut Butter – Honey – Coconut Sugar – Egg – Chocolate Chips
If you’ve never made anything with cassava flour before, you should really try it now. Cassava flour has a texture that is close to that of white wheat flour. For that reason, these taste more like “regular” cookies in my opinion, than those made with other gluten-free flours. Tess has a link to a post that tells you how to make your own coconut butter. It’s pretty simple, look for it. If you’d like to learn more about cassava flour read this: Paleo Cassava Flour Recipes Index, Pros, Cons and Best Prices.
7. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies – Paleo Running Momma
Egg – Almond Butter – Pumpkin Puree – Coconut Sugar – Vanilla Extract – Almond Flour – Real Salt – Ground Cinnamon – Pumpkin Pie Spice – Dark Chocolate Chips
These cookies are chewy, soft and decadent. They will become a family favorite very quickly. You won’t believe they are Paleo with their fudgy, soft, thick texture and warm rich flavors. They are super soft and seem to become softer as they cool. They store well in the refrigerator if you have any left after you eat one. You can’t eat just one.
8. Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies – Paleo Running Momma
Medjool Dates – Almond Butter – Coconut Oil – Almond Flour – Coconut Flour – Mini Chocolate Chips
These are a little different than other cookies in that they are sweetened with dates instead of some sort of Paleo-approved sugar. They have a nutty flavor. You can thank the almond butter for that. They have a chewy texture. If you’ve never tried dates as a sweetener, you really should. They add another whole dimension but you can hardly taste them.
9. Chocolate Chip Cookies with Walnuts – The Roasted Root
Almond Flour – Ground Cinnamon – Egg – Coconut Oil – Pure Maple Syrup – Vanilla Extract – Dark Chocolate Chips – Walnuts
Well, all of these Paleo chocolate chip cookie recipes are starting to look alike. I’m sure they all do taste similar, but each has something unique to it alone. For these, it’s the maple syrup they are sweetened with. I absolutely adore maple syrup, (my mother hates it, I know that’s a strong word, but she does). It does have quite a strong flavor all of its own so it will make these taste a little different than others. The cinnamon and walnuts will add additional flavor also. Give them a try and let me know how you like them.

Thanks for all the cookie recipes. Anxious to try them.
I would just love to say how much your site has become a staple for me.
My husband and I are on the primal diet, and as a previous baker of sugary-grain-filled treats, finding recipes that don’t intimidate me, are easy and still DElicious, was extremely hard.
Until! I started following your site and using your easy recipe collections.
Every single recipe I’ve made has been a smashing success.
So THANK YOU for taking the time to put all these together – you have no idea how much me (and my well-fed family 😉 ) appreciate it!
