So the other day, Adam and I got a serious hankering for something sweet and dessert-y. We went over to another website and tried their version of chocolate chip cookies and found them sadly flat and crispy.

We also aren’t fans of agave nectar. It’s too much in the straight “fructose” area of things for us. So, Adam and I decided we would try our own riff on Elena’s cookies, by substituting honey for agave nectar an adding an egg white to the recipe, and this is what we got.

Paleo Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

½ cup dark chocolate chips (the darker the better!)

Preparation

2. Stir together wet ingredients in a smaller bowl

These would be great with cranberries, walnuts, pecans, or other add-ins as well.
