These are hands down the best Paleo chocolate chip cookies I have ever made. And have ever tried. They are to die for.

Crumbly, golden edges, soft insides, sweet, balanced, HEALTHY. What more can we ask from a cookie? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. This cookie takes the prize.

I have become a big fan of cookies lately. Such a fan, in fact, that my favorite souvenirs I bring from my international travels are…you guessed it…cookies. No joke, I bring cookies from most countries I go to. I way rather cookies than fancy home decor, colorful clothes or purses, or traditional alcohols…all I want the country’s top rated cookies.

Now, I know that sounds a bit strange, but I can’t help it. Cookies are my current obsession and there is nothing I can do about it. I just go with it now.

Last time I went to Ecuador I stocked up on coconut cookies, and I am sad to inform that those are almost gone. My husband and I find ourselves opening the “secret” drawer where we keep these cookies hidden very frequently, and one by one, those cute little red packets that carry 4 cookies each have slowly disappeared.

And since I am definitely a planner, I am already testing new yummy cookie recipes to replace my beloved Ecuador cookies. It was either that, or jump on a place and go back to Quito to buy some more. Obviously, I went with the most cost effective option.

These cookies are not like my Ecuadorian coconut cookies, but they are one hundred percent hitting my cookie-spot. They are SERIOUSLY SO GOOD.

Best Paleo Chocolate Chip CookiesThese are cassava flour based, which is actually another really popular ingredient in Ecuador and we grew up eating it non-stop…and they also contain a nice little dose of collagen peptides, which does wonders for your hair/skin/nails/bones/ligaments.

Also, I feel it’s really important for me to tell you that the added vanilla, dark chocolate chips, sea salt and ghee, take these cookies to a next-level state of goodness.

Description

These are the best Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies. Made with cassava flour, collagen peptides, and a few other healthy and delicious ingredients that are Paleo approved. Perfect afternoon snack or post-dinner treat.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup cassava flour
  • 1/4 cup unflavored collagen peptides (10 g of collagen per scoop)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup ghee
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 whole large egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl, and set aside.
  3. In a larger bowl, combine the ghee and the sugar with a fork until incorporated. Mix in the egg, yolk and vanilla.
  4. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and stir. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Use a cookie dough scoop to scoop 6 cookies onto each baking sheet and lightly flatten them with your hand. The cookies will spread, so don’t flatten them too much.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes. I prefer to bake one tray at a time for more even baking.
  7. Let the cookies cool completely before lifting them, so the edges can crisp up. Serve right away or store in a tight lid container for up to 1 week.

  1. HI Mariel, I’m having a lot of fun browsing your site. I am looking at the chocolate chip recipe and wondering if another flour could be used instead of cassava. I have almond and tapioca flours but I’m not sure whether either would be a good substitute for cassava. Do you have any idea? Thanks!

    1. Hi Taunya! So happy to hear you’re enjoying the site! 🙂 I have not made this particular cookie recipe with any other type of flour, so I cannot tell you what would work well. Cassava flour is one of those flours that is hard to sub. I hear that whole wheat flour can do the trick (1:1 ratio), but if you want to keep the recipe 100% gluten-free/paleo, that wouldn’t work.

      I do have other cookie recipes made with almond flour that you may want to check out:

      If you do get your hands on cassava flour, though, do give this recipe a go! I think you’d really like it.
