Sunday Special!

This Sunday I hit the 25 week mark for my pregnancy, more than half way but still so far from being done. I'm glad there is still more time for this sweet baby to cook because quite frankly, I need more time! With the holidays coming and our up coming move to Georgia, I need this sweet boy to stay put!

In order to celebrate this occasion, I decided to try one of Sarah Spealler's cookie recipes. All of her recipes look so delightful and of course they are paleo! This recipe for cookies is one Sarah swears by and let me tell you, not only did I love it so did my three year old! And of course my husband!!

Brace yourself.. these are a god send, these are amazing... Paleo Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies!!

Disclaimer: These are not super sweet, if you are looking for a super sweet treat for a holiday party, this isn't it! They are great and pretty darn clean and I sure don't mind feeding my sweet boy a few of them! 

For the dough -
2 cups almond flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup Spectrum all vegetable shortening
1/4 cup honey
1 TBSP vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

The bacon -
Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Bake at 400 degrees for 14-16 minutes. Crispy bacon is better for these cookies. Let the bacon cool and cut into tiny pieces, which will be pretty easy if you let the bacon get crispy.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a food processor combine all the ingredients except the chocolate chips and bacon. Once everything is mixed together evenly, transfer into a large bowl fold in bacon pieces and chocolate chips. Scoop dough 1 TBSP at a time on to the baking sheets, bake for 6 to 9 minutes! Enjoy!
