I’ve been wanting to create a simplified, one-bowl version of the chocolate chip cookies from my book, Paleo Baking at Home.

After a couple of tests to get the perfect ingredient ratios, the cookies are here!

They have a super chewy middle with crispy edges and the appearance and flavor are oh so similar to traditional chocolate chip cookies.

I can’t wait to share these with you! Let’s get into the details.

What You Need to Make These One Bowl Chocolate Chip Cookies

You’ll see that these don’t require as many ingredients as many of my chocolate chip cookie recipes.

I still used two types of grain free flour to get the perfect texture and appearance.

Using both almond and tapioca flour also gets these cookies to spread similarly to traditional ones.

Here’s everything you’ll need to prepare the cookies:

  • smooth almond butter, or cashew butter
  • refined coconut oil
  • pure maple sugar, or coconut sugar
  • egg
  • pure vanilla extract
  • blanched almond flour
  • tapioca flour
  • baking soda
  • fine sea salt
  • chocolate chips of your choice (see below for paleo options!)

How to Make My Favorite Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

One bowl and no chilling – these cookies are ready fast!

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, add the nut butter, then the coconut oil, maple sugar, egg and vanilla. Use an electric hand mixer or whisk to beat the mixture until creamy.

In the same bowl, add the almond and tapioca flours, baking soda and salt. Stir or blend with a mixer until a cookie dough forms, then stir in the chocolate chips.

Use a medium cookie scoop (1.5 tbsps) to scoop the dough 2” apart on the parchment lined baking sheet. The cookies will spread, so make sure they have space. You’ll make 16-18 cookies total, so you’ll need two separate batches.

Press down very gently in the center of each cookie, but not too much to flatten them since they spread on their own. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until just beginning to turn light brown around the edges.

Remove and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a cooling rack to fully cool.
