Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
Early on in my fitness journey I was doing crossfit 5 days a week and loving it. I was introduced to the Paleo diet, something I had never heard of before, and was invited to do a 30 day challenge. What I wasn’t prepared for was how good my body felt eating this way.
Paleo is such a good, clean way of eating that I am so glad I have tried and know about. While it is difficult to eat this way 100% of the time I try my best to eat paleo based meals as often as I can.
While I was trying to eat more paleo I knew I needed to find some type of sweet treat to keep my sweet tooth happy. I tried countless paleo dessert recipes, and let me tell you, a lot of them were not that great.
I then found a chocolate chip cookie recipe that kind of tasted good, I was shocked! I decided to change up a few ingredients, play around with the time baked, etc, and voila. I created the most amazing Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe out there. There are a few ingredients I didn’t have in my pantry when I first wanted to try these, so I will link them here for you to easily find!
This recipe is so dang good I have made it in large, meal prep, batches for at least 7-8 years. Believe it or not, I eat one of these cookies and a pre workout drink every single day as pre workout fuel.
Can you believe I get to eat a cookie before a workout and don’t feel the slightest bit worried about?! It has been an absolute game changer in my world and I hope it is in your world too!
Whenever I make these, I usually do a double or triple batch. I put the cookies in layers with parchment paper in between and I freeze a couple bags to slowly get out and eat, as desired.
Be sure to let me know if you try these delicious cookies! Leave me a comment, pin on pinterest, or send me an email! Enjoy!
