AIP Lace Cookies

These easy AIP Lace Cookies use just a handful of ingredients and can be made in under 30 minutes. Plus, they taste amazing. It’s hard to believe these are totally AIP.

Can you have chocolate on AIP?

Nope but you can have carob. Carob is a chocolate substitute commonly used in AIP baking.

Is vanilla extract AIP?

According to The Paleo Mom, ‘vanilla gets a pass because the seeds are so small that they are intact when you consume them, putting vanilla bean (which is not a legume) in the same category as berries. Moreover, vanilla and vanilla extract is also okay, provided it’s certified gluten-free (often grain alcohol is used).”

Check out this podcast, where Dr. Sarah talks about all the spices, including vanilla.

That being said, I prefer vanilla powder. If you decide to use vanilla extract, you can substitute the vanilla powder for 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Is Honey allowed on the AIP diet?

Yes, but I decided to use coconut sugar in this recipe. It’s more cost effective and works perfectly.

How to make AIP Lace Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place parchment paper over baking sheet.

2. Add all the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combined. The dough should be very wet, almost like wet sand.

3. Add 1 tablespoon of dough to the baking sheet at a time and then flatten. Leaving 3 inches between cookies. A big baking sheet only fits 6 cookies.

4. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 8 minutes. They should be a little brown on the edges but not burnt. There’s a very small window before they will burn. Keep in mind that they will continue to cook after you remove them from the oven as they cool. Remove from the oven and let cool.

5. While the cookies are cooling, make the glaze. Combine all the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Stir until combined.

6. Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle the glaze of the cookies. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Tips for making the BEST AIP Lace Cookies

• You will need to cook this is 2 batches unless you have multiple baking sheets.
• Remove the cookies from the oven as soon as the edges brown. They will continue cooking after you remove them from the oven, and you don’t want them to burn.
• If you have reintroduced vanilla extract, you can substitute the vanilla powder for 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• This is the type of vanilla extract I use.
• This is the type of carob powder I use.

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.
