Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have lost count of how many days it has been since we started Whole30 and then how many it has been since we have finished and been living "paleo."  We have continued to lose some weight since finishing the Whole30 (I am down about 18 total) and are still feeling great!  We haven't introduced anything back into our diets permanently.  We had yogurt the other night and then felt pretty yucky after so haven't gone back since.  I think that we have done a really good job of continuing our new way of living.  

Before we started this I had the urge and want to have to have dessert every night.  From ice cream, to Frosty's, milkshakes, pieces of cake etc it didn't matter.  Things have become a lot better in that area and I don't find myself wanting/needing something every night and especially to that extreme.  At the same time I am not going to lie and say I don't like to have a little something where it feels like it is bad when in reality it really isn't that bad.  So we took a plunge today and decided to try out one of the recipes I found on Pintrest for chocolate chip cookies.  YUMMY!  They tasted great and were actually really easy to make. The original pin came from The Bite Sized Baker.  The recipe offers an option of maple syrup or honey and we went with the maple syrup.  We may look at some other chocolate chips for the future that are a little more Paleo friendly but we went with the Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet mini ones.  I highly recommend this recipe though- I know it will be one that we continue to use.  This weekend we plan on making some Paleo pancakes.  I can't wait to see how they turn out and will definitely update everyone.
