Paleo Peanut Butter (nut butter) Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe is adapted from http://detoxinista.com/2012/02/flourless-peanut-butter-chip-cookies/
(A very excellent version to start from.)

Overall, I love this recipe... I basically added some almond flour to thicken it up somewhat, and used my personal blend of nut butter (home made from seeds and nuts) to suit my personal preferences.  It fluffed up better.

Ingredients:

1 cup creamy peanut butter (in my case - my nut butter blend of almonds, pecans, cashews and sunflower seeds)
1/3 cup honey
1 egg (fresh from my chickens)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

3 TBS Almond flour

2 TBS Grass Fed Butter

1/2 cup chocolate chips (ghirardelli 60% chocolate)

Directions:

Preheat  oven to 350F. 

In a medium bowl, mix together the first five ingredients until a thick, gooey batter forms.  

Add in the almond flour to make less gooey.  

Cut in the butter with a couple butter knives.  Its ok to have tiny chunks in the batter.  Not quite as paleo friendly... but it makes them rise much better. (If you are strict paleo, you can skip the butter.)

Spread cookie sheet with a thin coat of cooking oil (grape seed oil if you can). Using a tablespoon, make round cookies in a cookie sheet are about 1/4 in thick and 1.5 inches in diameter.

Then add in the chocolate chips. 5 per cookie.  Push into the cookie, leaving part visible.

BAKE 10-12 minutes at 350F.  Should be browning on top some.

Cool for a couple minutes in cookie sheet before transferring to cooling rack.
