Notes
*For a totally Paleo recipe, be sure to use a dairy free chocolate. I like to have a mix of big chunks and finely chopped pieces for the best flavor and textural variation. If you'd like to substitute chocolate chips, use 1 ½ cups.
Make sure you line your sheet pans with parchment paper (NOT wax paper) or a silpat, otherwise the cookies will stick to the pan
Make sure the coconut oil has cooled down a bit before adding to the batter or it could scramble the eggs
The batter might seem a bit loose at first. Let it sit for a few minutes and it will firm up into a thick cookie dough.
It's important to press the balls of cookie dough down before baking otherwise they won't flatten.
