On Tuesday, August 14th we started the Paleo Diet. We have not eaten any grains, dairy, soy/legumes and sugar for 11 days. We make all of our meals in the hotel room, however, we haven't tried baking desserts until now.

Last night I made Grain-Free Almond Butter Cookies for dessert with all organic ingredients. I found the recipe on FastPaleo.com and I decided to cut the ingredients in half since we were running low on almond butter, honey and coconut oil. I was a little short on honey but the cookies still tasted good.
After the cookies were baked, my son sprinkled cinnamon on top of his cookie and it was great. I would definitely add cinnamon to the dough next time.
Ingredients
1 cup almond butter
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup raw honey
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups almond meal
2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Cooking Steps
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together almond butter, coconut oil, and honey. Beat in egg and vanilla.
In a small bowl, combine almond meal, chia seeds, and baking soda. Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well.
Scoop the dough 1 tablespoon at a time and roll into balls. Set the balls on the baking sheet and flatten them with a fork.
Bake for 10 minutes, until the edges just start browning. Do not over-bake or they will be dry!
