FRENCHIE FARM

Modern Homesteading & Sustainable Farming

One bowl paleo chocolate chip cookies

These one bowl paleo chocolate chip cookies are filled with wholesome ingredients, but they taste like a decadent dessert. This recipe requires 9 ingredients and only 10 minutes of prep. Let’s get baking!

When Ben and I decided to start a homestead, we were primarily motivated by living a healthy lifestyle. Although health has always been at the core of our homesteading journey, I rarely talk about our diets on the blog. I’ve always been a bit cautious about sharing the details of our diets in this space. A “one size fits all” diet doesn’t exist – what works for one person might not be a good fit for someone else. And that’s okay! (side note- these own bowl paleo chocolate chip cookies are allergen friendly and perfect for almost any diet!)

Although I previously identified as vegan, I moved away from a purely plant-based diet and no longer subscribe to food labels. Ben and I are constantly tweaking our diets, but we use the paleo diet as a (very flexible) framework. In general. our family maintains a gluten free, whole-foods diet with minimal ingredients. With the exception of a few items, we make everything from scratch. I’ve been slowly compiling a list of gluten free recipes over the last few months, and I’m so exciting to start sharing the recipes on the blog! Which leads me to these one bowl paleo chocolate chip cookies….

One bowl paleo chocolate chip cookies

I have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with chocolate, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I’m literally incapable of ending any day without chocolate. Often times, Ben and I will be getting ready for bed while I’m simultaneously carrying a small bowl of chocolate chips throughout the house. I’m pretty sure my husband thinks I’m crazy, but he knew what he was getting himself into when he married me, right?

Anyway, these paleo chocolate chip cookies are insanely delicious. You know you have a winner when you make a dozen cookies … and you have about 6 left the next morning. Finley loves snacking on these cookies, and seeing as they’re filled with clean ingredients, I don’t mind one bit. Even though the ingredients are healthy, these cookies definitely don’t taste healthy. They’re ooey, gooey, and oh so delicious.

These one bowl paleo chocolate chips are also so simple to bake. Nine ingredients, one bowl, and less than 10 minutes prep?! Doesn’t get easier than that, friends. This recipe is 100% gluten free, grain-free, dairy-free, and egg-free. Zero refined sugars in the dough (with the exception of the chocolate chips) makes this recipe a healthier dessert option. Our whole family loves these cookies … except Beckham. These paleo chocolate chip cookies are sweetened with honey harvested from our farm, which is a no-no for kids under the age of one year. I’ll have to whip up a batch for Beckham once he’s old enough to eat honey, because I’m sure he’ll love them just as much as we do!

Recipe notes

If you haven’t worked with palm shortening before, then this is the perfect recipe to start. I originally used coconut oil instead of palm shortening in this recipe, but the consistency was a bit off. Palm shortening immediately transformed the consistency of these one bowl paleo chocolate chip cookies into light, fluffy, and delicious.

Finley and I tend to eat (way too much) of the dough when we bake these cookies, so I prefer to use a flax egg in this recipe. If you don’t like working with flax eggs, then you can probably sub the flax egg for a real egg. I also love swapping the almond butter for peanut butter when baking these cookies. If you’re following a paleo diet, just be aware that peanuts are not paleo. If you’re vegan and do not consume honey, then you can probably sub the honey for brown rice syrup seeing as it has a similar consistency.

Although this recipe is super simple, these cookies burn very quickly. Bake time varies depending on your oven, but I prefer a 10 minute bake time. One perk of using a flax egg is that you can slightly under bake these cookies. The finished product is more gooey and delicious in my opinion.

Let me know if you try this recipe and/or make any substitutions in the comments below. Happy baking!

One Bowl Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

DELICIOUS  paleo chocolate chip cookies! One bowl, 9 ingredients, gluten free, dairy-free, and egg-free . A super tasty dessert filled with wholesome ingredients. 
Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time10 mins
Total Time20 mins
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Paleo
Keyword: cookie, dairy-free, dessert, egg-free, gluten free, grain-free, one bowl
Servings: 12 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tbsp flax
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1/4 cup palm shortening
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (we like Enjoy Life brand)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, mix flax and water until combined. Set aside to thicken.
  • In a large bowl, add palm shortening and almond butter. With an electric mixer, beat palm shortening and almond butter until well combined.
  • Add honey, vanilla, and flax egg to the mixture. Beat until combined.
  • Add baking powder, salt, and almond flour to the mixture. Beat until well combined and a dough forms.
  • Add chocolate chips to the mixture. Beat until chocolate chips are evenly mixed throughout dough.
  • Scoop ~2tbsp of dough and form into balls. Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-11 minutes. These cookies burn very quickly, so keep a close eye on them. I usually bake for 10 minutes, but baking time will depend on your specific oven.
  • Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Notes

The following substitutions will probably work, but I have not tested them:
*If vegan, try subbing brown rice syrup for honey
**If you don't like flax eggs, try subbing 1 medium-large egg (but do not under bake at all)
***These chocolate chip cookies are absolutely delicious with peanut butter instead of almond butter, but be aware that peanuts are not paleo.
****We recommend Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips

Well, despite my denial, I suppose that it’s off Well, despite my denial, I suppose that it’s officially fall 🍁 I tend to hold onto summer time as long as possible, especially because the bitter cold winter months are brutal in Chicago. With that being said, I’m learning to appreciate all of the seasonal changes that naturally occur on the farm, even if they aren’t my favorite 😉 Early morning chores are filled with brisk air while fog covers the rising sun. It’s beautiful in its own unique way, and maybe one day I’ll love the changing seasons as much as I love the summer heat. Or maybe I’ll move somewhere warmer in another life, who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️
.
.
Do you prefer the heat or cold fall days?
After such an emotional weekend, I woke up feel ex After such an emotional weekend, I woke up feel extra drained today. I wanted to press snooze when my alarm went off, but I decided to get up early for a quick workout and chores instead. And gosh, isn’t it crazy how those simple decisions turn your day around right from the start? Plus, seeing these boys run toward me every morning is simply the best.
.
.
What are some things that energize you after a rough few days?
Today was hard. . . Today was processing day for o Today was hard.
.
.
Today was processing day for our first round of meat chickens, and I’ve spent much of the last 24 hours crying. I said my good byes this morning, and I feel grateful for Ben taking care of the logistics. Does it get easier? Is it supposed to? I don’t know.
.
.
I usually share the fun, light hearted parts of homesteading. This part just feels hard. And sad. And I feel a lot of guilt. I feel comforted by the life we gave to our birds, but also guilty that we’re the ones who took it away. 
.
.
Homesteading is just really hard.
Tomorrow is the day that I’ve been dreading for Tomorrow is the day that I’ve been dreading for quite some time - processing day for our first ever round of meat chickens. As a previous vegan, I’m struggling. I’d be lying if I said that I’m not tearing up typing this, or that I didn’t tear up while walking by their pasture during chores tonight. This part is really hard.
.
.
But here’s the thing - I don’t think “hard” is a bad thing. Actually, it’s a good thing. Because if we don’t have a level of guilt and appreciation for animals, then there’s something seriously wrong ... and that’s exactly what’s wrong with our current food supply system. 
.
.
So I’ll continue to feel guilty, because I SHOULD. And I’ll continue to feel grateful, because I SHOULD. And I’ll continue to feel really sad knowing that I’m responsible for loss, because I SHOULD.
.
.
And the second I lose sight of that guilt and gratitude? Well, that won’t happen. Trust me ❤️
Nope, that’s not my incredible white farmhouse, Nope, that’s not my incredible white farmhouse,  but maybe one day ours will looks similar! 🙌🏼 Have you met my friend Maddy over at @addisonfarmssc? We’ve been friends on these little squares for quite some time, and holy moly, she’s definitely #onetofollow ! 
.

From her perfectly beautiful farmhouse to her darling farm with a major swoon worthy garden and beautiful horses, I’m just in love. Plus she’s the sweetest, so you should head over to her account and give her a follow! ❤️ Happy Friday, friends!

Well before COVID, I started thinking about homeschooling our kids. I didn’t understand the reason for being drawn toward homeschooling, but now it all makes sense and feels like the perfect decision for our family. I’m loving how sweet and cozy this homeschool room feels, and I hope our little ones grow to love learning here too ❤️ I know some of you are homeschooling pros, so I would love to hear any tips!
