Yummy Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hello! I'm Marci and I usually blog over at Marce Lips.
When my husband and I followed a paleo lifestyle earlier this year, we came across this recipe for chocolate chip cookies and made them every week.
It's a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth in a healthier way.
Since I'm a picky eater, I was really surprised that I loved them so much.
We made some slight modifications (inside quotes) until we came up with something we really enjoyed.
