This recipe is a oldie because it’s one I posted in my notes section of my Facebook when my website was being a b*tch. But if you don’t have Facebook, which I think is dumb, or don’t check Facebook like me because Facebook is annoying, then you didn’t see this gem of a recipe. Cookies that are nut free, with gigantic chocolate chunks, mixed with vanilla beans is always a good choice. Try this recipe. It can be your Xmas cookie recipe to share with your friends that bad mouth paleo. Show them what’s up.
The holidays are weird when it comes to commercials. Mostly because the perfume and cologne commercials get even more ridiculous than they already are. What in the hell is up with those commercials? They make absolutely no sense, they have no purpose and no theme, and just incredibly good looking people. Just because the person is good looking doesn’t mean they smell good. Believe me, I coach people for a living…I know this.
So I pretty much got all my Christmas shopping done the other day. The mall is much more bearable when you get there right when the doors are opening. An hour in, it’s hell. But I ended up only buying a few things for myself. THEY WERE ON SALE, OK!! I couldn’t help it. The New Year is sneaking up quickly and I’m trying to be sexier by then. It’s not really working. My hair is super long though, so if I wanted to try to send in Maxim magazine style shots with just my hair covering my nipples, I totally could. Too far? My bad.
Anywho, have you heard the news?!!? That my first cookbook, ‘OMG. That’s Paleo?‘ is now ready to preorder?! It’s the truth!! I’m so excited! The book is filled with some of my life stories, some great advice because I’m full of it, and far too many pictures of myself. Kind of similar to my blog.
Here’s what you should know about preorder!! Everyone will receive $5 off, but only Continental U.S. will get free shipping {CLOSED}. Anyone outside the Continental U.S. can order, but you’ll have to email presales@scribe-publishing.com {CLOSED} for us to calculate the shipping and then invoice you separately (so it might actually be better for those people to wait the extra two weeks for it to go on Amazon, and it will be available on the international Amazon sites as well).

Oldie but a Goodie: Giant Vanilla Bean Chocolate Chunk Cookies (nut-free)
- Yield: 7 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup sunflower seed butter (or nut butter)
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1 vanilla bean stem, slit lengthwise, little baby beans removed with the edge of your knife
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1/2–1 cup Enjoy Life Mega Chocolate Chunks (or dark chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out a dollop of cookie mix and pour onto baking sheet. Space out so cookies do not form together when they bake (like mine did).
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, be careful not to overcook these.
- Let cool. Then eat up!
- My mix made 7 large cookies, but you could make them smaller!

When I saw this recipe I did an air squat for joy! I have a sensitivity to almonds so this nut free goodie was just what I’ve been dreaming of. I immediately hit Trader Joes and made these cookies the minute I got home. (On a side note: Kroger brand stores and affiliates have a Simple Truth Organic line which has a paleo friendly chocolate chip, so I used those for instant gratification rather than waiting 2 days for an amazon order to show up because I have no.self.control.) I then proceeded to eating 7. I was surprised at how incredibly filling these are because it was not for lack of gluttony that I stopped! I’m STILL full hours later. Lots of protein and iron in these goodies also so I can do guilt free goodies for the kids this holiday! THANK YOU! *end hero worship*
Despite the 100 degree plus on this Australian summer day I cranked up the oven to bake. I’m so glad I did! These are great. I used almond butter and everything at room temperature and they spread out beautifully in the oven. They have a delightful crisp/chewy texture which I love in a cookie. Thanks Juli for all your recipes, truly appreciate your talent and sharing.
These are great! Making them now. I made them traditional cookie size so they have to cook in a few batch. The first batch is all gone already! I’d say these taste more like a “peanutbutter” cookie than a traditional chocolate chip cookie, like my brain was thinking, but by far an awesome cookie! Thanks a bunch!
Holy cr*p-these are good! Will freeze and try to only eat one at a time.
I used natural almond butter – delicious!
These cookies are better then any flour cookie I have eaten.
I took them to a group function of12 people and only 3 with gluten or grain restrictions and they were amazed.
I cannot eat almonds or cashews or dairy or….the list goes on.
Thank you so much for this recipe, my only problem is I can’t stop wanting to make them.
I made these last night and although I love everything you make, I was actually really surprised by how amazingly awesome THESE were! They feel and taste like a real chocolate chip cookies. It is seriously magic. I did a mix of almond and sunflower butter and you would hardly know these were made with nut butters! I cut the honey to 1/4 cup and they were perfectly sweet for me. Thank you so much for posting another great recipe!
5 Stars for these…. I made them today awesome. very easy to make just follow the directions. I cooked them for 16 minutes turned out perfect….
So I’ve made these a few times and I love them. They’re quick to whip up and taste delicious!!!! My only complaint is that it makes so few that it’s really really noticeable when I sneak these!!! LOL Thanks for a great recipe!! I just found a recipe for homemade peanut butter chips that I’m going to make primal and these cookies will probably be the first thing I try them in.
I have been grain free for 1.5 years…I have been craving a crunchy cookie. Oh I can’t thank you enough. You are really contributing to the world. Thank you again
Tried to rate before but it did not take. Definitely 5 stars!
