So much nicer than flour cookies and more filling too so thanks for sharing the recipe Shelley. I used coarse home ground almonds, a bit less butter and Sweet Freedom (carob, grape and apple extract) and they stayed together quite well. Just started on the Paleo path and very much appreciating your blog :-) These cookies are just amazing! So much nicer than flour cookies and more filling too so thanks for sharing the recipe Shelley.

Delicious. I haven't had chocolate since going gluten and refined sugar free (I'm almost grain free too). Definitely a keeper. I substituted honey for the agave because that's what I had on hand and used almond meal. Letting them cool to firm up is key. Also I think next time I'll try adding just a little shredded coconut.

It seems to be pretty finely ground but now that you mention that, I have noticed that it seems to be too "grainy" at times (oddly enough haha). I think I'm going to grind this one even more and see how that works. I ended up experimenting with a second batch of cookies last night; added an extra whole egg and they came out perfect. You think that would work for the pizza crust too? Thanks Shelley! Hmm, no I buy Bob’s Red Mill almond flour.

I use pre-made almond flour that I either buy online or get from Trader Joe's. If you;re making it yourself, though, you may not be grinding the almonds fine enough.

I've done your pizza recipe and just now these cookies; for some reason the flour doesn't hold together. Any clue as to why? The recipes taste great, the flour just won't stick! Do you have any idea why? Thanks Hey Shelley, I’ve had a huge problem, with almond flour in general.

My kids loved them! I used Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips and made them into mini-cookies- ended up with 32. I highly recommend trying them and I thank YOU for posting a great recipe I will use for years to come. I just finished making the Chocolate Chip version and they came out amazing!
