The irony of paleo sugar cookies does not escape me, but I wasn’t sure what else to call this healthier, whole food take on the holiday cookie staple.
Made with cassava flour, coconut oil, and coconut sugar, it really does have the traditional sugar cookie look, taste, and feel. You can ice them if you want (perhaps use melted dark chocolate, or your fave healthier frosting recipe), but I enjoyed them with out any frosting.
If you’re looking for other healthy dessert ideas to round out your holiday cookie tray, check out these Sweet & Salty Almond Butter Date Caramels, Chewy Almond Date Cookies, or Almond Goji Protein Bites.
Cassava Flour: Cassava flour comes from cassava, or yuca, a root vegetable that is dried and ground. I love this as a gluten-free, grain-free flour. (Yuca the vegetable is also pretty delish, too!)
I used Otto’s Cassava flour, which you can get for 10% off on vitacost.com.
Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is a healthy fat that supports a healthy metabolism. I used it in place of butter. Be sure to choose an unrefined version.
I used Dr. Bronner’s Coconut oil, which is 10% off here.
Coconut Sugar: Coconut sugar is a lower glycemic alternative to white sugar. While it is not a “health food” in the sense that oranges and kale are, it makes a better choice over the traditional table sugar. Similar conventional sugar cookie recipes called for about 1 1/2 cups of sugar, where as this recipe uses a third (66% less!!!) of that amount.
I like the Navitas Brand coconut sugar which is 40% off on vitacost.

I help busy women lose weight or clear up their acne by developing healthier eating habits, based on a plant-based paleo diet.
This colorful Superfood Rainbow Cheesecake will wow your guests at your next party! Beyond its insta-worthy appearance, its creamy, whipped mousse-like texture is delicious.
This 5 Spice Salmon recipe is one of the most requested by my hubby. A light crust is formed from searing the salmon with a blend of turmeric, cumin, coriander, paprika, and cayenne, and then you simply finish it in the oven.
Kookoo Sabzi is a traditional Persian dish that is similar to a frittata but flips the ratio of eggs to herbs, hence its vibrant green color. Aromatic and flavorful, this one-pan dish is easy to whip up and makes for a perfect brunch, lunch, or light dinner entree.
