    Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies stacked with chocolate chunks on a plate. Flavour and Savour

    Craving a chocolate chip cookie, but avoiding grains? Grain-free Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies are made with cashews, dates and almond flour.

    Grain-free Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies to satisfy those cookie cravings! No gluten!

    Guess what is the most searched-for cookie recipe on the Internet?

    You guessed it! Chocolate Chip.
    Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Anyone who knows me well knows that I am a cookie fanatic. Cake? Meh. Store-bought staff room birthday cakes held no appeal for me. But cookies? Look out, colleagues!

    Giving up grains doesn't mean I have to give up cookies, I've discovered. This recipe from Real Life Paleo totally satisfies that cookie craving. Made with cashews, almond and coconut flour and spiked with chocolate chips and walnuts, it results in a soft paleo chocolate chip cookie, but the nuts give the cookies that necessary crunch.

    Fellow cookie lovers will understand my need for the crunch.

    A good recipe for baking with kids!

    Baking cookies is an activity I've always loved doing with kids. They love to measure and stir and pour and sneak the chocolate chips while I pretend not to see. Baking makes my home smell, well . . . homey, and we're all rewarded with a warm cookie after just a few minutes.

    What can I add to these Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies besides Chocolate Chips?

    You can easily substitute your favourite add-ins to this recipe. I've used chocolate chunks and dried cherries in place of the chocolate chips and walnuts. Just add your favourite nuts or dried fruit once you have the basic dough prepared.

    Just because you're avoiding grains doesn't mean you can't have a cookie! Substitute your favourite nuts or dried fruit for the walnuts in this grain-free recipe.
