A little bit about this Paleo part of the cookies
Why is there Paleo in front of this cookies recipe. The simple fact is that I follow this diet (although I consider it to be more of a lifestyle) and thus have to adhare to its rules. In short, the Paleo diet consists of eating fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, eggs and nuts and leave out dairy, grains, sugars and all artificial additives (such as sweeteners). More info on the diet can be found on this lens about the Paleo/Primal diet.
Because there are some restrictions, it's somewhat difficult to come up with substitutes for popular foods such as chocolate chip cookies because the usual recipes contain flower (grains) and sugars. This recipe however substitutes those ingredients with others.
