Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies You Won’t Regret Eating

Healthy eating habits are all the rage right now, and that includes the paleo diet. But what does a paleo diet actually consist of? Eating like a caveman. I used to buy vegan chocolate chip cookies all the time from Whole Foods, and I was inspired to try out a healthy cookie recipe myself.  Whether you are paleo or not, these chewy chocolate chip cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. This healthy twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie will leave you wanting handfuls (especially when they’re warm out of the oven).
