Slice and Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies (paleo & vegan)

Soft baked paleo & vegan slice and bake chocolate chip cookies. They are tender and chewy just out of the oven and develop the perfect outer crisp as they cool.  This recipe contains no raw eggs so the cookie dough can be eaten straight from the roll in a Buddy the Elf “eat a whole roll of tollhouse cookie dough” kinda way (which these days sometimes feels necessary). Slice them and bake them or slice them and don’t bake them (!), you decide!

I first developed this cookie recipe years ago- way before I had a blog- and I completely forgot about them until a friend reminded me of how much she loved them. So I looked up the old recipe and tested (and retested because who doesn’t need more cookie dough) to make sure the cookies stood the test of time. Let me tell you, they definitely do and there is something about having a roll of cookie dough in the fridge that you know is waiting for you when you need it most that is so satisfying!

When you bake these cookies they are soft on the inside and firm up to a satisfying crisp on the outside.  They are completely grain free and sweetened with maple syrup and coconut sugar and guess what- they are vegan so if you feel like going and eating the whole roll of cookie dough without baking them- well then you do that! Another reason that I love these cookies is because they contain almond extract which I think adds a little extra something.  They take no time to whip up and can sit in your fridge for a couple of days waiting for the perfect moment when you need to bake off one or two (or six) cookies for yourself.
