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).
YAY! Click here to purchase it right now!
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!

Any alternative to honey…? I am suddenly ALLERGIC to it and I break out in a rash around my nose and mouth (?!?!). Ugh! 🙂
you could use maple syrup
I used maple syrup and no chocolate chips (I’m lactose and didn’t have any on hand) and these were still amazing! Best paleo cookie I’ve ever tried. Hands down.
I made the “small” version so 15 of these suckers just came out of the oven and I’m not going to share!
These were friggin fabulous even my fat and sugar lovin husband said they were good. I am making these for my kids, they will love them. Thank you so much!
Juli, I want to be like you when I grow up! Awesome BLOG!! I went Paleo about 2 months ago. And you know, it just makes sense. But I’m pretty much like you, I alter my paleo food recipes and I’m in the kitchen daily. I have to say, this cookie recipe tops any other paleo cookie recipe on the plant! I did add 1 tablespoon of coconut flour and 1 tablespoon of hazel nut flour and 1/2 c carob chips. I used tahini for the nut butter too and everything was perfect. Juli, you’re my best friend!!!! Thanks for the recipe! I will buy your book. Keep up the good work! I will be reading your blog every night. Many thanks!!!!!
These were amazing. So skeptical when I saw the ingredients list, but just absolutely delicious. Moist and chewy and just awesome. I used maple syrup because of a honey allergy and I think honey would have tasted better, but still just awesome. Thanks!!
These were amazing!!! I used almond butter, and extra real vanilla extract. Made them big, cooked for 18 minutes, not a minute more!! They were golden brown. A minute longer and they would have burned. I love your site and your amazing recipes!! Thank you, Juli!!!!
couldn’t rate in last post.
We just started Paleo a few weeks ago and I happened upon your blog from Pinterest which is cool because we live in Denver. We are starting this lifestyle change for weight loss and just getting healthier which means is recipe isn’t what I should be cooking just yet but if I don’t have something that makes me feel “bad” I will jump ship all together. With that being said, they were GREAT! I did overcook slightly but thank god caught in time for it not to be a total disaster. I will be remaking tomorrow just to take a better result in to work for others to try but feel the need to say thanks for the yummy recipes thus far ( 3 total).
These were fabulous. And beautiful looking cookies, just like yours. I didn’t have any real vanilla, which as everyone says here, costs a fortune. But some day I do want to try that. These were best eaten the same day of baking. The next morning they will be more chewy. Still yum.
