You know what else makes them so perfect? How simple they are to make! All you do is stir the wet ingredients together, add the dry ingredients and fold in the chocolate chips Then scoop out little balls, place them on a cookie sheet and bake for roughly 10 minutes. I prefer my cookies on the softer side, so 10 minutes is the sweet spot for me, but if you like a little crunch, leave them in for about 12 minutes!
Make These Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies Vegan!
In this Perfect Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe I used eggs, but if you want to go for a vegan option, you can easily swap them out. Using a vegan alternative won’t take away from the perfectness of this recipe. A few of my favorite ways to swap out eggs in a baking recipe are to use bananas, pumpkin puree, mashed avocado or flax eggs—¼ cup of mashed banana, mashed avocado or pumpkin puree is equivalent to one egg. And for flax eggs, 1 tablespoons of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water is also equivalent to one egg. Be sure to let your flaxseed absorb the water for 5 minutes before adding it to your recipe.
While some vegans consume honey, I know some do not. So, if you happen to be a vegan who excludes honey from their diet, you can swap out the ¼ cup of raw honey from this Perfect Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe for 100% pure maple syrup. Simply use a 1:1 ratio.
