The Best Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever (Vegan)

By 212 Comments

Jump to Recipe  ↓

The title is quite the proclamation, but I stand by it!

I’ve seen a few variations of these cookies floating around the web and finally had to try them.

OMG. I’m totally not the type to say or write or even think ‘OMG’, but OMG.

These are the best gluten-free, grain-free, paleo, chocolate chip cookies…ever…

Healthy chocolate chip cookies that are paleo and vegan

I have to say, though, what makes them so great for me is the fact that they require so little sweetness to be really stellar.

The Best Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever

Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time10 mins
Total Time15 mins
Servings: 9
Calories: 139kcal
Author: Lauren Goslin

Ingredients

  • 1 c. almond meal
  • scant 1/4 t. sea salt
  • 1/8 t. baking soda
  • 1/4 t. cinnamon optional, but delicious!
  • 3 T. coconut oil or butter melted
  • 2 T. honey or maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 t. vanilla
  • 1/2-1 t. water only if/as needed
  • 2-4 T. chopped dark chocolate depending on your personal preference (I used 3 T.)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix the almond meal, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  • Stir in the coconut oil, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla.
  • Add in water as needed to bring everything together.
  • Stir in the chopped chocolate last.
  • Bake for 10-11 minutes on a well oiled or parchment paper-lined cookie sheet (the edges should be golden).
  • Let them sit on the pan for 5-10 minutes (they firm up during this time, so this is an important step!).
  • Remove and enjoy!

Almond flour chocolate chip cookie recipe

I got about 9 smallish cookies from this dough, but feel free to make them as big (or small) as you desire!

These have a buttery, modestly sweet taste that’s complimented perfectly by the dark chocolate. The cinnamon gives it a little spice that pairs well with all of the other ingredients.

Paleo and vegan chocolate chip cookies

These are delicious right out of the freezer, if you like your cookies cold like me. 😀

I hope you all take some time this weekend to give these cookies a try! 🙂

 

UPDATE: For those of you with almond or nut allergies, I have successfully made these with sunflower seed meal (using the same amount), and they have turned out great!

    Hello Lauren! Your website is awesome! I was wondering if I can use Oat Flour in the place of Almond Flour in your chocolate chip cookie recipe?

    Woo Hoo ! My search for a decent cookie is now over, trust me I have tried ALOT ! I did use caramel flavouring instead of cinamon (I know awfull stuff but…) These were great you have to try them ! Chewy, greasy and sweet turned out just like I was looking for those big cookies from the shops but healthier ! SSssooo Happy :o)

      Haha, I’m so happy you liked them Claudia! Since creating the recipe, I’ve become allergic to almonds, but I remember how good they were. Enjoy my dear!

    I just made these tonight. I LOVE the cinnamon with the chocolate! I didn’t add the water and my dough never formed together, so I added about 6 T. of almond butter with the thought that it would help stick the ingredients together. It worked ok, I’m wondering if adding a 1/4 c. coconut flour would help the dough stick together. I will be saving this recipe and eating them again! Thank you for sharing!

    I was looking for a quick cookie without eggs or butter as I was out of both. For the teens, I used flour and they were ok. The other batch, I made as you suggested, including the cinnamon. They were awesome! My teen, who is a picky eater, LOVED THEM TOO!! I nearly fell over when she asked me to make more sans the cinnamon. WOO HOO!

    Hi Lauren I made these just now and they did not form into cookies they ran all over the tray and joined together into one big mess. I didn’t add any extra water. As for the taste…. well it’s a big claim to say that they are the best. I am not convinced.

    I love these cookies. Being a person who was formerly overweight (220lbs at 5’6″) and now down to 138lbs it is nice to indulge once in a while without feeling guilty. I have to say I LOVE you blog as you list nutritional info/serving size, and that is really important along with offering a wide variety of dietary recipes (I am a vegetarian and was raised that way, but became a junk food eater during college, where I gained most my weight as I wasn’t eating any protein). Keep up the great recipes, they help me stay full and live a better life!

    Thanks so much for this awesome recipe! I doubled the recipe, used less butter, added oats/chia seeds/a little bit of coconut – they’re amazing!

    Had high hoped for these, and they turned out just like the picture, visually. But they had WAY too much vanilla, at 1.5 tsp for only 9 cookies… most batches that make 24+ don’t even have that much vanilla in them. The result tastes oddly fruity (in a bad way). Also not sweet enough, I would personally double the sweetener, half the vanilla (at least. maybe even use only a quarter) and add a touch more salt… overall not happy with how these turned out. My husband took a bite of one, set it down, and walked away.

    Thank you so much! Instead of Stevia how much sugar would you say to use? I cannot have stevia, for some reason it gives me headaches. I forgot to add in the earlier post the videos you make are great! It always helps me to see someone making the recipe. Thank you again! 🙂

    Reply

    • Lauren says

      I guess-timate that 1/8 teaspoon of powdered stevia is equivalent to about 2-4 tablespoons of sugar. I’m not sure if this is your situation, but the stevia with any other ingredients, like ‘natural flavors’ or maltodextrin, will give me headaches as well. The NOW brand, which is just pure stevia, agrees with me much better. Thanks for your comment about the videos! It’s good to know they’re helping someone. 🙂

    Would this recipe work with oatmeal flour (just grinding my own oats)? I am allergic to almonds and I don’t want to risk it with the almond meal. I have been looking for a good vegan chocolate chip cookie without a ton of ingredients or trying to figure out ratios of different flours for a long time and came across this one. I love your website! Thank you so much for sharing all of your wonderful recipes with all of us 🙂

    I really like these cookies but have one problem when making them. I end up with about half the amount of batter you show above. Did you by chance use a liquid measure cup instead of one for dry ingredients, for measuring the almond flour? It looks like way more than a cup in your video. My batter is also more of a paste. Delicious, all the same!

      Hi Melissa,

      Not sure what you’re seeing, but I used measuring cups for the dry, nothing out of the ordinary. Glad you enjoyed them!

    Can you substitute the almond flour with another type of flour? I’ve read the comments above re coconut flour so I will not be using. A regular all-purpose flour or brown rice? (just trying to think of what I already have in my pantry)

    Reply

    • Lauren says

      Almond flour is unique in that it contains a decent amount of fat, which lends itself to the ‘buttery’ taste of the cookie. I’ve personally tried oat flour, but resulting cookie is quite dry. You may be better off looking for another recipe or holding off for the correct flour.

      Reply

  23. Tina says

    How did you get your almond flour to be “Smooth?” I followed exactly as you said/showed and your batter even looked smooth compared to mine. I used Bob’s Red Mill finely ground almond meal/flour. The cookies look nutty not smooth like a regular cooked baked with regular flour. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Tina

    • Lauren says

      Hi Tina,

      I’m not entirely sure what you mean…I used TJs almond meal, which also has a ‘nutty’ look to it. Almond flour doesn’t have the brown flecks in it (if that’s what is troubling you), so maybe that would work better?

      Reply

  25. CatCow says

    Followed your directions…used honey and butter and almond flour…WOW!! A keeper and no exaggeration of how wonderful it turned out just as promised – but key would be following the directions!! Thanks so much!!

    Hi! I just made these cookies and they were delicious! However, they were SUPER oily, like I was wiping excess oil up with a paper towel before I baked them because there was that much oil. I didn’t add any extra water, either. Any idea what caused this or what I could do next time to prevent this?

    Reply

    • Lauren says

      Hi Shayla,

      I’m not sure since I’ve never had that problem and no one else has told me that! There is a decent amount of fat in here from both the coconut oil and the almond meal, so there is bound to be some of that….

      Reply

    • Lauren says

      One other thing I just thought of, be sure not to overmix the ingredients…this will bring out the oil in the almond meal (like when you make a nut butter in a food processor) and that would definitely cause excess oiliness.

      Reply

      • Shayla says

        Thanks for the tips! I just made them again and the batter so MUCH better! I think the fault was all mine and I added too much oil or honey or overmixed the first time. They’re in the oven baking now and I can’t wait to eat this batch! 🙂

        Reply

  27. Chris says

    Just tried them and balled them up. They did not flatten while cooking. Should I have flattened them prior to baking? I followed your recipe exactly except substituted 15 drops of vanilla stevia extract for 2 of the tablespoons of honey. Could that have kept them from flattening in the oven? Also, have you tried making these with at least one egg in the recipe? Wondering how to work an egg in. Thanks!

    Reply

    • Lauren says

      Hi Chris,

      I think the problem was substituting the honey. I don’t usually have to flatten or manipulate them in any way, I just dollop the batter onto the sheet. I haven’t tried them with an egg either, but I think another commenter had success with that! Good luck if you try them again!

    Thank you, thank you for this delicious recipe! I am vegan, not paleo, but I don’t eat grains and had not found a good grain-free and vegan cookie recipe until this one. I make this a few times a week, and have even changed it up by using raising instead of chocolate chips, and it’s delicious. A great “forumla” for endless cookie ideas. Thanks!!

    Thanks so much for all your replies. I questioned this because some of the bloggers here commented that there cookies came very thin and spread out very much and watery etc…
    i just assumed they would spread out. but regardless they are delicious. thank you Lauren.
    Cannot wait to try mny of your recipes…..

  31. Donna says

    Hi, i just made these cookies. They are delish but mine did not spread and when i pushed on them they flatened out. Should i have added some of the water possibly and/or cooked them a bit longer also? Again the taste is wonderful but….

    and to the almond meal….do you use Trader Joes? or blanched almond flour?

    Thank you for being a part of your own blog. it allows us all to live and learn. Thx D

    • Lauren says

      Hi Donna,

      They don’t spread much, so how they are dolloped onto the baking sheet is pretty much how they’ll look like when they come out! I use TJs almond meal for these. 🙂

    This really is the best paleo cookie recipe I’ve found..chewy and delicious! I doubled the recipe because 9 cookies aren’t nearly enough 🙂 Also added 3 Tbs of cacao nibs for even more flavor, nutrients, and crunch. I did find my cookies didn’t spread as much as I had hoped, so next time I’ll manually help them out a bit more. Yum!

    I know its been said a million times already but these cookies are amazing! I have some friends who are gluten free and I always like to have something freshly baked for them when they visit. These are so easy and fast to make. My biggest problem is that it’s hard for me to not eat all the cookies myself when I make them!

    Nice post, but it’s too bad you were going for Vegan, they really could’ve used egg to hold them together… maybe even flax egg? They were too moist and fell apart even though I followed your directions exactly.

    when i place the cookies on the cookie sheet do i round them like regular cookie dough and theyll will flatten on its own or do i form them as the shape of the cookie?

      Hi Belle,

      No need to form them or round them, just scoop a large tablespoon of batter (depending on how big you want them) and place it on your cookie sheet. They will flatten a bit on their own. Happy baking!

      Hi Stephanie,

      I’m so happy you enjoyed them! For the crumbly issue, be sure to let them sit on the pan for the stated 5-10 minutes before moving them. This is what help them set. Happy baking!

    These cookies are amazing!!! They taste exactly like Tate’s cookies which are my favorite. I flattened mine before putting on the sheet and they came out thin butter crispy and soft on the inside. Great recipe! Takes 3 minutes to make and only uses one bowl, always a huge plus. Making them again tonight for a dinner party.

    These are better than any chocolate chip cookies I’ve had. My brother (who is very picky and a good cook) loves them – he says they taste like chocolate macaroons. My 13 year old son that claims to dislike anything with healthy ingredients loves them too. They are good hot or cold. I don’t add any water to mine.

    OK, so I have made these cookies more times than I can count! Seriously. They’re hands down the BEST chocolate chip cookies!

    I think I’ve perfected them by using half coconut oil and half ghee and half honey and half maple syrup. It makes for the perfect combo! I also use almond flour instead of almond meal which seems to have a better consistency for the cookie. And I use the Enjoy Life chocolate chunks because….why not?…..they’re delish!

    These are in the oven, I tweaked it a bit, mostly almond flour, but a couble tablespoons of coconut flour for giggles. Used enjoy life mini chocolate chips and a handful of chopped walnuts.

    These are wonderful, amazing, delicious, heavenly, and perfect. I did not have to use water at all. I was skeptical– and pleasantly surprised, as all of the other paleo cookies I’ve tried use egg. I used grass fed butter instead of coconut oil. Really just scrumptious. Thank you!

      Wow Alex! Yes, the numbers are correct. Read a bit further and you’ll see that the facts are based on 1/9 of the recipe, meaning one cookie out of a batch of nine. I also noted that the facts are based on using maple syrup. Using honey would up the amount by about a gram. No need to get so hostile. It’s just food.

    Hi , I just made these, I used half and half coconut flour and almond flour, and half and half honey and maple syrup. No water as they didn’t need , they were a bit ‘runny’ too, so added a bit more almond flour, they spread a bit too much , but taste AMAZING . Thanks x

    Your title is correct! I’ve just recently converted to paleo and it’s been hard giving up all the processed sweets! I was honestly afraid to taste these cookies after I made them. No milk, egg or cookies? I thought they would be disgusting! (No offense ) When I tasted them I was presently surprised! They were great and even regular cookie eaters like them! They are such a great recipe to substitute for the high sugared sweets! Thank you!

      Hmmm…the only other thing I can figure is there’s a difference in the consistency of our almond meals? You could also try mixing in the oil in a softened state, as opposed to it being melted. Just be sure the other ingredients are at room temperature. Glad you like the taste though!! 😀

      Coconut flour is kinda weird in how you substitute it. I’ve read that you use 1/4 cup of it for every 1 cup of flour. As far as using it in place of almond meal, I wouldn’t do a one to one exchange, as I think you’d end up with very dry cookies.

    Omg, I made these last night and they came out delicous! Two things, though; is the serving size really 9? Or did you mean to say the reciepe yields 9 cookies?

    Secondly, although my batch tasted great the dough was really runny so i ended up with really flat cookies that were crisp on the ends and soft in the middle. They looked like crackers! To be honest It was a good mistake, lol. They reminded me of these flat, crunchy cookie type things my mom used to buy years ago from Costco. And I may half the honey, they were sweet little suckers! Anyway this is most definatley going in my “tried and true” reciepe booklet.

      Hi Denise,
      I’m happy you enjoyed them! I did mean 9 cookies, not serves 9 people, lol. As far as the batter goes, it sounds like you added too much water…? I’ve never seen them ‘runny’, if anything the batter gets too thick, hence the water. I’m glad it was a good mistake for you though!

    Lauren, these cookies are so amazing! I’ve been experimenting with many different recipes and these are by far the best yet! It’s also fantastic to come across a recipe that uses ingredients I always have on hand in the pantry and can be whipped up for surprise guests. Would you mind if I shared this recipe on my blog at some point? Of course giving credit to you. Either way- thanks for sharing this delicious recipe.

          Hi Jenn, I haven’t tried them with coconut flour. I haven’t worked with it much, so I’m not sure on how to substitute it for the almond meal. I think I read once that one cup of flour is equal to 1/3 cup of coconut flour, but that’s just a guess. Glad the almond flour turned out for you! 🙂

    Hi Lauren. I’m going to include this on today’s Friday’s Five . . . and was going to use my “pin” to showcase it, but I can’t get it to work. I hope you don’t mind that I snag one of your pictures to use instead. I will definitely link it back to you! Let me know if you don’t want me to do this, though. I didn’t take my own pictures when I made them, figuring I’d use Pinterest. 🙂 Happy Friday!

    I think I’m going to try this recipe tomorrow! Can I substitute actual butter for the coconut butter? Thanks for sharing this. Can’t wait to try.

    When I read the title of this post I was like, “Wow, she’s pretty damn confident there….” but now that I’ve read the recipe I can see why 😉

    I love how simple these are, that I have all the ingredients in my pantry and that they are paleo AND vegan! If I didn’t already have 4 kinds of cookies in my fridge (baking party with a friend) I would make these now. I guess they’ll have to wait a few days. Darn!

      Hahaha! The funniest part about your comment was seeing the word ‘damn’. For some reason, I picture you as the type that rarely swears. 🙂

      On another note, these are really good! You ought to try them, I think you’d really like them! :-)….and they freeze well!

      Sorry, I actually did not mean dried almond pulp. I’ve actually tried it that way, and it WILL NOT work! I believe it lacks the fat that is needed here.

        It does actually work with the almond pulp IF you dry it out in the oven at the lowest temp for about three hours, put it in a food processor to make it fine like flour – then make them. It’s delicious!! LOVE these cookies!!! The only thing I did was add more coconut oil and they turned out so good.

      I made these with coconut sugar and they taste great. They are not shaped like cookies when they are cooked. They flatten out. They are very soft. A coworker tried them and wants some more.
