Paleo Vanilla Cookies Recipe
Kai and I made these cookies together when we were both CRAVING chocolate chip cookies. They are so soft and coconutty (courtesy of some unsweetened shredded coconut)—you'd never know they are grain-free + gluten-free!
For this recipe, swap regular ol’ wheat flour for amazing almond flour! This wheat flour alternative is gluten-free, high in fiber, a good source of protein, and chock-full of iron, riboflavin, magnesium, potassium, vitamin E, and calcium. Quite the upgrade.
The Cacao Magic gives the cookie a lovely hint of chocolatey-ness, while also providing an energy-lifting burst of nutrients. Then sneak some serious detoxification powers into your treats with a spoonful of Green Dream. A serving of this superfood blend packs more protein than an egg, more iron than a serving of beef, less sugar than a stick of gum, and more fiber than bran cereal!
Once you’ve gathered all of the beautiful ingredients for your cookies, click play on the video below and get baking with me!
Gather This:
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon Green Dream Superfood + Protein Blend
- 1 teaspoon Cacao Magic Superfood + Protein Blend
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoon chocolate chips
Do This:
Preheat oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the superfood blends.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, and vanilla until smooth. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Add chocolate chips.
Using a tablespoon, drop the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheets; repeat with all of the batter to make 6 cookies on each baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a cookie comes out clean. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Hi Sophie – I don’t tolerate almonds all that well, is there another flour that I could substitute? These look amazing!
