    Paleo Chocolate Orange CookiesChocolate Orange Cookies are my latest paleo/ low carb, experiment that have become a new obsession.  These are a lighter cookie with lovely chocolate and orange flavors. My Hubby said " these cookies rock". He is not much for sweets  (I know, what is wrong with him). But, he ate most of these.

    • ⅓ cup Coconut Flour where to buy coconut flour
    • ½ cup Almond Flour or Almond Meal.
    • 2 Eggs.
    • 3 tbsp Melted butter or melted coconut oil, where to buy coconut oil
    • 1 tbsp Orange Zest ( grated orange peel use a micro plane or fine grater).
    • 1 tsp Organic Orange Extract where to buy orange extract., organic GF kind
    • cup Sweetener of choice: ⅓ organic Maple Syrup or for low carb use ½ cup erythritol + 25 drops liquid stevia, where to buy stevia, for paleo
    • ¼ cup unsweetened Almond or Coconut milk.
    • 2 tbsp unsweetened Cocoa or cacao powder where to buy cacao powder
    • ½ tsp baking soda + 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar mixed in separate pinch bowl . it will be really fizzy
    • ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes* optional
    • ¼ Cup dark chocolate chips soy & dairy free (I used this brand), for low carb can use a low carb chocolate bar, chopped).
    • Optional Topping:
    • tbsp Can also melt a 1 ½ of dark chocolate chips with a drop or two of orange extract for garnish * both are optional. I also topped with a bit of extra orange zest

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350 F, and line or grease a baking sheet.
    • Mix in large bowl: coconut flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, shredded coconut and set aside.
    • Mix in a separate bowl ; eggs, almond or coconut milk, sweetener of choice ( maple syrup or low carb one, etc.), melted butter or melted coconut oil, orange zest, and orange extract.
    • Add pre -mixed baking soda + apple cider vinegar mixture to egg / almond milk mixture and stir in well.
    • Add liquid egg mixture to coconut flour mixture and stir in thoroughly.
    • Add chocolate chips,( or chopped low carb chocolate bar) and mix in well.
    • Put bowl of cookie dough in freezer for 10 minutes ( this keeps it from spreading as it bakes) I like to go and wash dishes until the dough is cold.
    • Spoon onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 13 to 16 minutes or until some what firm.
    • Let cool completely, then garnish with optional melted chocolate and orange zest.

      Can you tell me if the low-carb dark chocolate chips were semi-sweet, bittersweet, or unsweetened for the carb count listed?

        Desiree, I used Lily's Chocolate - All Natural Dark Chocolate Premium Baking Chips, they are stevia sweetened dark chocolate chips. I am guessing they are either bittersweet or semisweet. But it did not say on the bag.

      I just made a couple of these tgohnit for myself and my 11 year old son. He thought they were yummy, but you're right mom. They need to be a little sweeter. Can we add some sugar next time? But I still like them. Thanks for making me one. Will you make them again? This after I commented that I didn't add any sweetner. Thanks for a simple yet delish recipe that fits in with our way of eating. It's just what I needed tgohnit. =) Kat
