Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Who doesn’t love a warm, chewy, chocolate chip cookie?

We remember baking Nestle Toll House cookies as kids. Waiting nine minutes for them to bake seemed like an eternity. Then, we had to wait for them to cool off just enough so that we wouldn’t burn our mouths as we gobbled them up.

Now that we have kids of our own, making chocolate chip cookies with them is some of our favorite times. Naturally, we’ve come up with our own version of the chocolate chip cookie that uses real food ingredients – no refined flour or white sugar in sight. And it stars our favorite ingredient – chocolate (choose your favorite chocolate, but we prefer the following brands: Hu, Evolved, and Enjoy Life).

And we were so envious of those kids that got a giant cookie cake for their birthday. It was the ultimate in chocolate chip cookies!

And guess what? They’re even better than the original version! Every. Single. Time. No matter where we go, when we bring these chocolate chip cookie bars with us, they are devoured and become the topic of conversation.

Now we want you to have the recipe. Make them with your kids. Take them to your next book club meeting. Share them with your kids’ sport team after a well-played game. Or leave them on your neighbors’ and friends’ doorsteps during this time of the pandemic – this recipe isn’t going anywhere, and you can always bring them to any event in the future. Better yet, enjoy them solo! You don’t need a good reason to make these chocolatey treats. Make them just because you want them. Eat one or two and enjoy every bite.

We’re sure you’ll love them as much as we do.
