PALEO CHOCOLATE SALTED COOKIE BARS

Here I am one day before Thanksgiving and instead of sharing all of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes (though you should definitely make this Apple Cider Sangria and these Paleo Pumpkin Bars) I thought it only appropriate to share a post-Thanksgiving recipe that’s guilt free.

I don’t know about you but the dessert I have the more dessert I crave. And after all the pies happening tomorrow I’m going to be craving a sweet treat, but my body surely won’t need sweets, hence the paleo salted chocolate cookie bar. And because they’re so darn good.


And honestly I think I should started last week because by the time tomorrow rolls around it will be my FIFTH Thanksgiving.  This year. Does that mean I have a problem? Quite possibly. But here I am with four Thanksgivings dinners under my belt and somehow I feel no shame.

Just like these cookie bars! There’s so much luscious, dark, chocolate happening and they’re so chewy and moist and I think the giant flakes of sea salt on the top are just right. Seriously, the texture of these cookie bars is ?. That’s my emoji for on point.

I made this recipe the first time and thought I would make them extra chewy by only using egg yolks like I’ve done for non-paleo desserts and well, it didn’t work. I cut them and picked up a piece and they crumbled in my hand and by the time I got it up to my mouth I had one measly crumb to munch on. ‘

So, round two happened. I added the full egg back in and that did the trick. Chewy, chocolatey bars of heaven. I would keep going but I can’t think of any more adjectives to describe how wonderful these paleo cookie bars are.
