The Best Soft Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies made with all gluten-free, grain-free and nut-free ingredients. Plus there is no refined sugar!
These cookies are a godsend, let me tell you. Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies that are grain and gluten AND nut-free? You better believe it. And no, they don’t taste like cardboard I promise. They are actually deliciously soft, rich and chocolatey cookies everyone will love.
Plus it gets even better. It takes a total of 15 minutes to make these gems. Yup, that is right friends, just 15 minutes of your life are between you and these paleo chocolate chip cookies.
It is also key to note that these cookies are SOFT because many paleo desserts tend to be a little too grainy and not very moist. These cookies are even a hit with Jord who is the King of classic Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies. Also I highly recommend these cookies both cold and warm. That taste amazing either way.
While most paleo desserts aren’t nut-free, this one absolutely is. You may remember using tahini or sunflower butter from my Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Bread and 6-ingredient Chocolate Granola. It is my go-to creamy nut butter that is 100% nut-free. I love baking with it because it is so mild in flavor and less overpowering than using peanut butter.
What do we need to make these paleo chocolate chip cookies…
Another amazing part about these Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies is that they are also healthy. The ingredients are so simple and they are made of coconut flour, egg, coconut oil and coconut sugar. You also only need ONE bowl to make them. So it is a super easy clean up. If you are an avid reader of my blog, you most likely have all of these ingredients in your kitchen already.
Finally, if you do make these cookies, please don’t forget to share them on Instagram. Now grab a glass of almond milk to dip these cookies into and ENJOY!

Sunflower or nut butter can make some of the BEST cookies. That was genius Rach to make these with Sun Butter, and they look really delicious. I’m with Jord. I’m sure these were really really good, comparable or even better than Tollhouse?
Rachel
Thank you so much, Emily! SunButter is amazing!!

Do they taste like coconut? Some here are not fans of that taste.
Rachel

Should I measure 1/4 c oil first then melt it? Can’t wait to try these out!
Rachel
yes!!
Sophie
These were delicious! They looked like cookies on the outside, but were green on the inside! They were especially green the next day after having been in the fridge. Do you know why they were green? Thanks!
Rachel
yay! that does happen sometimes with sunflower seed butter! i use sunbutter organic and it has never happened to me!
Melanie
It’s a natural reaction that happens while baking with sunflower seed butter. Totally harmless and some even make bread with it for being festive on St. Patty’s Day ☺️!
Gabriela
These look amazing! Do you think these would work with flax eggs? I’m intolerant to egg whites 🙁
Thanks!
