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!

These are AMAZING! I have been searching for the perfect Paleo chocolate chip cookie, and these are possibly better than non paleo cookies. Great recipe! I added a little extra salt, nixed the Vanilla bean and used almond butter. SO GOOD!
I’m trying to not consume any sugar refined or unrefined. Can I use stevia drops? Would I need to adjust the amount of nut butter to proportion the wet ingredients?
yes, i’m sure you could and it would work, just not sure how many drops
Amazing. Gets me through those chocolate cravings.
These are seriously the best! The first cookie that is husband approved too!
Whenever I ave baked with sun butter in the past the baking soda turns the sunflower butter bright green making he baked good look very unappetizing…I wonder why ths recipe doesn’t. Will def try – my daughter and ar allergc to nuts and peanuts.
Made these last night. I burned the first batch at 18 mins – which everyone ate anyway – and the 2nd batch is DELICIOUS at 15 mins. The raw honey I have is very dense and was difficult to mix in. Any suggestions for softening it a bit? warm it perhaps?
first, put it in the microwave to melt it a bit, then add it!
hi! I used a cup of almond butter…it came out nice and firm but they got soggy the next day. I kept them in an air tight container. Did I underbake it? it was getting very brown at 15 minutes.
Love it, my first success at cooking a paelo sweet.
( ok I’m new to this ). Yummy
Thanks xx
I am obsessed with this recipe. I don’t use vanilla bean and use almond butter instead, but am seriously in love and think they maybe better than non paleo chocolate chip cookies!
Just made these and they were AMAZING. Instead of using a vanilla bean, I just put in a little bit extra vanilla extract. I also didn’t have chocolate chips on hand, so I melted a tablespoon of coconut oil and mixed that with 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. I also added just a bit more honey to replace the sweetness from chips. I mixed in the chocolate concoction into the batter so they actually turned into chocolate cookies. I’m not a fan of chocolate cookies, but I loved these! They tasted so real! Definitely making them again soon!
