Giant Double Dark Chocolate Cookie (Single-Serve, Paleo, Vegan)

Giant paleo double dark chocolate cookie single-serve

A festive little Valentines Day chocolate treat for yourself (or you + someone special)! For when you want to love yourself a little extra, this giant paleo double dark chocolate chip cookie recipe is the perfect indulgent dessert…

An Easy Single-Serve Dessert

I’ve been all about single-serve desserts since I started the “college” phase of my life five years ago. Living and grocery shopping for myself has taught me that (1) I don’t need a family-sized sheet of brownies to try and eat before they go bad (2) I tend to randomly crave different desserts based on the day (3) it’s exhausting to clean up and store huge amounts of leftovers. SO out of necessity at the time, I quickly became a fan of any recipe that had “single-serve” in the title!

Paleo cookie recipe

Even if you aren’t living by yourself or in small college living situations, single-serve desserts are perfect when you just want something quick and easy. I don’t even think twice about making a single cookie these days. It only takes 20 minutes AND you aren’t left with a whole batch and multiple mixing bowls after!

Crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside. Oh, and add melty chocolate chips with a finish of flakey sea salt. And make it paleo, please!

Literally too good to be true.

Healthier double dark chocolate cookie recipe grain-free.

I started following a Paleo-style diet gradually after starting to re-introduce foods back into the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, which I followed for a long time after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis almost 2 years ago. Since then, I’ve made it my own personal mission to re-create all of my old favorite treats with paleo ingredients!

Double dark chocolate cookies were a classic favorite cookie of mine. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before I found a paleo version that is arguably just as good as the original recipe!

What You’ll Need:

Step 1: Mix the almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, monk fruit, and baking soda until well combined.

Step 2: Add in the creamy cashew butter, almond milk, and vanilla. Stir well until a thick cookie dough forms.

Step 3: Transfer the dough on to a cookie sheet lined with a small square of parchment paper. Shape it into a circle and press down slightly. Lightly press paleo chocolate chips and a pinch of flakey sea salt on top of the dough and bake.

Step 4: Enjoy warm!
