Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

I don’t know about you, but I crave a good old chewy chocolate chip cookie all the time. These paleo versions are too good to be true, soft, chocolatey and the perfect golden colour. I made these intentionally to give to my clients and came home to an empty plate… Good thing I can easily whip up another batch!
