Look no further, these are the Best Paleo Chocolate chip cookies. Packed with chocolate chips, these are soft and thick with the perfect crumb. Dunk them in a glass of milk and enjoy!
When I was fussing about in the kitchen I was intrigued by the idea of adding sweet potato to this recipe and it seriously turned it from ok to AMAZING.
Yes, I had to put that in all bold because that is the only way I can share how darn good these are. Do not skip this step. Yes, I’m talking to all you creative cooks who are shaking their heads wondering why I added something so strange to the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe.
I won’t lie, I ate the entire first batch all by myself.
I hid them from my husband and kiddo, how crazy is that? When Mr. Bejelly and Little finally got a taste – of batch number 2 – he asked me not to eat them all.
At least I didn’t break that promise.

I love how unique these cookies are, classic but also the sweet potato and that they're a little puffy - SO good!! Thank you for a great cookie recipe!
