My BFF along with half of the world have either just decided or have been eating according to a paleo diet. I selfishly didn’t want to think that everyone else would be skinny for swimsuit season and I would look like the mom who needed to make some changes. So, I jumped on the bandwagon and ate a lot of healthy meals …but didn’t last as long as everyone else.(wahhh!!!!) I just like food I guess and have zero will power to not get in the kitchen and make certain things! However, while eating paleo for the short time I did, I really wanted to test out a few recipes, one of them being chocolate chip cookies. Because all of you who know me, know I love me a good chocolate chip cookie! In fact, I have more cookie recipes on this ol’ blog than any other genre of food!

With all that said, I really feel I am a good judge for if a cookie is good or not. I have to admit, I was thinking these paleo chocolate chip cookies would be gross but once I tasted the dough (which is the absolute best way to tell if a cookie will be good or gross) I knew that the cookie was going to be surprisingly good! And they really were! Even my husband and kiddos liked them…and that’s saying a lot if you ask me!

I originally found this recipe from Beauty and The Foodie.

Rough chop the cacao bar into bite sized chunks. Mix into the batter. Make sure you mix everything well and don’t have too large of cacao chunks because it is bitter tasting, and if you don’t have enough of the other cookie dough mixed around it, you will taste the bitterness.

Scoop out on a cookie sheet and bake!
