RECIPE: Paleo Snickerdoodles

I've been doing darned good for quite a while eating extremely low carb while following my Paleo Lifestyle plan, but today ... Today I craved something warm, chewy and a little sweet. I remember seeing a recipe I pinned on Pinterest ... Paleo Snickerdoodles. I tracked it back to where it was originally pinned from ... Urbanposer. I had to make a couple of minor adjustments, and they are DELICIOUS!! I was afraid Conrad and I would eat them all before they ever cooled down! Yes, they are THAT GOOD!

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups Almond Meal (The recipe calls for blanched, fine ground almond flour)

1/4 t. Sea Salt (Slightly less, actually)

1/4 t. Baking Soda

5 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup Organic honey

1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract

For Coating:

2 tablespoons Palm Sugar (The recipe suggested Raw Coconut Crystals)

2 tablespoons Ground Cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat over to 350 degrees.

2. Mix all the dry ingredients, then mix in the wet ingredients.

3. Using a spoon, take 1″ round balls of dough and roll them in coating.

4. Place on a prepared baking sheet, and flatten. I used my fingers, but you could use the bottom of a cup. (I used a Silpat for even baking and no sticking.)

5. Bake at 350 Degrees for 11 minutes. (The recipe suggested 8-9 minutes, but mine weren't quite done enough at 9 minutes. Must have been the almond meal that made the difference.)  Allow to cool on pan, they will firm up to the perfect texture when cooled.
