Thanks! I think I stumbled onto it somewhere else – since I’ve never been to that site before. It appears this recipe has been rather widely disseminated then. I’ll shoot them an email and see if they came up with it originally, or if they know the source.

These were delicious. I added a little sea salt just to make it more traditional and used a custom blend of non-bitter stevia/erythritol as the sugar, so the only sugar was in the chips. 15 and 6 yr old ate them up! I’m also just realizing there was no type of oil/butter called for. I wonder what if that would spread them out more or make them less ‘bready?’ Thanks for posting.

Georgia –

glad you liked them.

I usually scrap them onto the backing sheet with a spoon and a fork. It sticks a little bit, but keeps them from making quite as much of a mess. Scoop out a spoon full then scrape it off with a fork, it helps keep them all the same size as well.
I usually do try to flatten them a bit, as you said, you don’t want them to seem “too healthy”

I just made these with raisins instead of chocolate chips. They are delicious and I can’t wait to have my one-year-old try them. What a great way to get good nutrition into him. I have two comments/questions:
1. Any tips for making the balls without getting the dough all stuck to your hands? I think I lost out on a couple of cookies just with the stuff sticking to me instead of the balls.
2. Do you flatten them first? I’m okay with little “balls” instead of cookies, but some people may find that a tip-off that these are “healthy cookies”!!

Great recipe. I made it with raw honey and 62% dark chocolate chips. Even non-paleoers were impressed. Thanks for sharing.

I’d not even use any sugar at all, just let the chocolate chips be the sweet part, or use dried fruit instead of chocolate chips. I’m with you for not being dogmatic about any dietary approach.

I’ve read about almond meal being quite a good flour substitute on a number of fitness blogs now. I will have to get myself some.
