How to Make Them
Why You’ll Love These Paleo Cookies
Rather than using a wheat (or other grain) flour, these cookies are made from a blend of almond, tapioca and coconut flours. The combination of these flours results in perfectly fluffy cookies every single time! These are a real crowd pleaser, whether you follow the paleo diet or not!
The perfect holiday cookie recipe
These paleo cookies are perfect for the upcoming holidays – you can easily switch up the color of the icing too – orange for Thanksgiving, red for Christmas and purple for Halloween! Be sure to check out Paleo Halloween Cookies and my Paleo Crinkle Cookies for more holiday inspiration!
When are my cookies baked?
The cookies will only take between 5 and 7 minutes to bake, so keep your eye on them! The edges of the cookies will have turned a golden brown. If the edges are firm the cookies are ready!
Chef’s Tips
You can keep the cookies at room temperature a couple days. They will keep in the fridge for 3 days.If you are very strictly paleo, replace the baking powder with another 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, for a total of 1 teaspoons baking soda (and no baking powder). Or, ideally, use a paleo baking powder or make your own with this simple recipe. The yogurt is essential to giving these cookies the lightness and fluff that makes them so good. You can use dairy-free yogurt easily, but for the best texture, opt for a thicker yogurt, like Kite Hill, than something runnier.For the frosting, make sure you use the solid style of raw honey, not liquid honey that happens to be raw. This helps with the texture immensely, and regular liquid honey will not likely work. If you do not have this type of honey, you could try topping these cookies with the paleo “cream cheese” frosting from my Carrot Cake Cupcakes. Use a healthier food coloring, like this.
