Paleo Chocolate Chunk Cookies

 

This is a simple yet absolutely tasty treat.  Let me emphasize it is a treat, you should not make these every week.  The good thing is all ingredients are Paleo friendly and you can use coconut oil, instead of butter if you choose.  In our house we use Taza chocolate, which is soy lecithin free. Taza’s 70% Dark Chocolate comes in various flavours such as pure chocolate, orange, chilli and ginger.  These cookies are extremely soft, so make sure you use a level spoon per cookie and keep approximately 3″ space between each cookie, during baking.

Batch: 30
