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!

Hey guys, I know this is sorta random but does anyone have any lunch ideas that dont need to be heated before eating
I recently ran across a site with lunches and I thought “anyone can make salad with meat on it” but I was totally wrong. I decided to buy the book and it’s FABULOUS. It’s called Paleo Power Lunch ebook by Stormy Sweitzer and it’s packed with combinations and ideas and solutions that are both easy and delicious and they fight that “salad with meat boredom” that we paleos struggle with. I was really glad I bought it. I hope this helps!
These are soooo good. Just made them. I used almond butter.
Your’s must of been GIANT if you only made 7. I made 13 regular to big cookies. Need to give some away before I eat all of them! Thanks for the recipe.
Best Paleo/grain free cookie yet!
Juli,
I made the cookies tonight and I believe I let them bake too long 19min 20 seconds. They are smaller but I guess I didn’t mix he ingredients well enough. Somethings tastes off but I get the chocolate and sunbutter taste.
What did I do wrong. It was a pretty oily looking batter.
thx,
Melissa
Can I use vanila extract?
How much would I use?
Thank you.
yes! 2 teaspoons would be great!
Hi there…I’m a relatively new reader of your blog. I do not follow the Paleo diet but I do have insulin resistance so it’s something I should probably be doing. I struggle with my weight and over the years I’ve learned that when I stay away from white foods (refined or enrighed flour, sugar, potatoes, pasta & rice) I lose weight quickly. For that reason alone I have done ‘my’ version of the Atkins diet sporadically thru the years. I eat meat and veggies, with some dairy…like cheese and sour cream. No fruit, but lots of nuts. So in reading your blog, I have learned that I have been ALMOST eating a Paleo diet.
I love your spunkiness. You’re entertaining to read, curse words and all.
One thing I wanted to say to you personally though, is this. ‘Sexy’ is in the eye of the boholder. Having a sense of humor is sexy. ‘Trying’ to be sexy is not sexy…just be yourself. I have a feeling you’re way sexier than you realize.
Your recipes are incredible. I will be finding the time to make one or ten very soon! Have a blessed holiday season and a Merry Christmas!
Tammy
Made these! Love em!!!!!
Definitely making these on Christmas Eve! They look amazing!
Pre-ordered your book! Can’t wait! 🙂
So, I didn’t have any vanilla beans, but had to make this recipe anyway, and it is so good!!! Juli, you rock! By the way, I used a Tablespoon measure and was able to get 21 cookies, approximately 2 3/4 inches in diameter.
My cookie scoop is about 1 tablespoon and wondered if I should change the time. Did you still do the 18 minutes?
no clue. just keep an eye on them
THESE ARE INSANE AMOUNTS OF FANTASTIC. thanks Juli 🙂
