    Is chocolate allowed on AIP?

    Chocolate is paleo but not AIP friendly as it’s considered a seed. [source] This recipe uses carob which is an AIP alternative. However if you’d like to keep this recipe coconut free, try this AIP Chocolate Chip recipe.

    Is carob AIP friendly?

    Yes. It’s a common replacement for chocolate and totally AIP friendly. [source] I prefer to use this organic brand as I can easily get it online.

    Is baking soda allowed on AIP?

    Yes! Baking soda is used in this recipe and helps it rise. Just beware of baking powder. Baking powder contains cornstarch which is not AIP friendly.

    Is tapioca allowed on the AIP diet?

    Tapioca starch is from the cassava root which means that it’s AIP friendly. I talk about the differences between cassava and tapioca in my AIP Focaccia recipe post.

    This recipe is a love letter to my son. He loves dinosaurs and chocolate chip cookies. Notice the Jurassic Park t-shirt . . . I combined my AIP Christmas Cookie and AIP ‘Chocolate’ Chip Cookies recipes to create this recipe. Look at the excitement on his face. These cookies really are his favorite.

    How to Make AIP ‘Chocolate’ Chip Cut Out Cookies

    1. In a large bowl, cream the shortening and honey using a hand mixer. In a small bowl combine the dry ingredients the set aside. Next add the flour mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips. The dough should start to form a ball.

    2. Once everything is combined, form a ball with the dough and flatten it slightly. Next wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for thirty minutes to an hour.

    3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use 1 tablespoon of palm shortening per pan to grease the baking sheet and then set aside.

    4. Roll dough on tapioca starch sprinkled solid surface to 1/4”. Cut into shapes and place on the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the oven for 8-10 minutes.

    5. Once finished cooking, remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet before touching. These cookies have a tendency to break if you attempt to move them before they have cooled.

    Tips for making the BEST AIP ‘Chocolate’ Chip Cut Out Cookies

    • Since chocolate is a reintroduction, to keep this recipe AIP friendly, you’ll need to make your own carob chips. This recipe from Whole New Mom is also coconut free. Healing Family Eats also has a coconut based carbon chip recipe.
    • You’ll need to resist the urge to dig into these cookies right away. They will crumble if you try to handle them before they’ve had a chance to cool.
    • Gluten free flours are not all made the same. If you can’t have one of the flours in this recipe, please be aware that you probably won’t be able to make a 1:1 swap without reworking the entire recipe.
    • Please note that I’m using vanilla powder in this recipe not vanilla. If you want to use vanilla, then you’ll probably want to increase the amount to 1 1/2 teaspoons as it’s not at concentrated.
    • I used Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips in this recipe. The chips are the same size as the cookie needs to be thick. Plus they are dairy free and use real sugar vs. corn syrup or chemicals.

    If you like this AIP dessert, then you’ll love these AIP cookie recipes.

    • AIP Gingerbread Cookies
    • AIP ‘Chocolate’ Cookies (coconut free)

    Helpful Info For All Recipes

    • I always use extra virgin olive oil in all of my recipes unless stated otherwise.
    • I always use Himalayan sea salt or Celtic sea salt, unless otherwise noted.
    • The majority of my recipes are strict AIP or include notations for reintroductions. However while I make every effort to label non-AIP ingredients and recipes sometimes they slip past me. If you have questions, please ask in advance.
