Paleo Cookies. Mmmmm…. Cookies.

From Shirley:
I am a self proclaimed expert on sweets and believe me when I say I’ve tried a lot of paleo cookies; buying fancy $12 cookies because they’re dairy, wheat and sugar free, baking my own and tweaking recipes to paleo-ize them. I probably expect too much, but I’m always disappointed. I eventually threw in the towel on paleo sweets and decided to just take the hit and eat real sugar when the craving strikes.
When Anita asked me if I had tried the Paleo cookies she brought to the Holiday party I was like… ‘Awww, man… now I have to eat one because she’s my friend. But every paleo cookie I’ve ever eaten tastes like cardboard and I need a gallon of milk to choke that dry ass $hit down.’ Nope. These cookies are moist and tasty and I’m going to go out on a limb and say these are the best paleo cookies I’ve ever had. Trust me… I’m an expert.
