These Paleo Chocolate Sandwich Cookies are soft, sweet and have a delicious SunButter filling. They are nut free, gluten free, and dairy free.
Paleo and Vegan Cookies
These cookies are grain free, use cacao powder and coconut flour as the base and contain no dairy. Using a flax egg also makes them vegan. I made them twice, once with an egg and once with a flax egg and both work great.
To make a flax egg, combine 1 tablespoon flax meal with 3 tablespoons water and let sit 5 minutes to thicken. They are sweetened with just maple syrup, making them naturally sweetened.
Nut Free Cookies
Using SunButter as a main ingredient and then no nut flours keeps these cookies nut-free. No Sugar Added SunButter is my favorite to use and free of the top 8 allergens. Just a little coconut flour is needed to help hold them together.
These cookies are soft and sweet and fudgy. I definitely prefer a cookie that isn't cakey and these aren't at all. The filling is creamy, simple and so delicious. They are best stored in the fridge (like most paleo baked goods) and are really good cold, straight from the fridge.
These are so easy to make with just a total of 7 ingredients and all mixed by hand. They look a little harder than a traditional cookie, but they really aren't.
