Paleo Macadamia-Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Take your first bite of one of these macadamia-coconut cookies hot out of the oven while the chocolate chips are still kinda gooey…so, so good!

Enjoy every blissful bite my paleo friend. You deserve it. If for no other reason than the paleo diet isn’t the easiest thing in the world to follow and you need an occasional reward for a job well done.

So give yourself a big pat on the back and bake up a batch of these easy and awesome paleo cookies!

I don’t post a lot of cookie recipes. After being paleo for 2+ years, I guess I don’t crave sweets as much these days. That’s probably true for most paleo peeps. [av_sidebar widget_area=’Lockerdome’ av_uid=’av-rwkx2j’]

Another reason cookie recipes are a rarity here is I don’t want to share paleo treats that are just OK. You know what I mean – good maybe, but not great.

For me, a new paleo recipe has to be pretty amazing – at least to my taste buds! I’m just not going to share something I don’t think is worth your time and effort to make.

Well I have no doubt this macadamia nut and coconut cookie recipe is easily one of the best paleo cookies to come out of my kitchen.

easy paleo recipe for Macadamia nut and coconut cookies

My inspiration was the paleo macadamia-coconut butter recipe I posted earlier this week. It was so rich and naturally sweet that I just knew I had to come up with one more recipe with the nut butter as the star ingredient.

This one literally came together in minutes. I baked a small test batch of cookies first for taste and timing, loved them, then decided I would take them up a notch with some dark chocolate chips.

You’ll find these are not overly-sweet. I really wanted the macadamia nut and coconut flavors to shine through. To me, these taste like a cross between a macaroon and macadamia nut cookie.

The cookies are firm on the outside with a soft center. They’re not oily or crumbly like some other recipes.

It’s my new favorite paleo cookie. My hubby’s too, surpassing his #1 – the paleo ginger snaps recipe. This little gem is really pulling rank – and just in time for spring!

If it’s time to reward yourself for sticking to the paleo plan, do it with this easy paleo recipe! Enjoy!
