You’re 6′ too? Me too- the struggle is real for 6’0 females and crossfit, no joke! We have so much farther to go than the other women because our limbs are so long and we lack the strength/testosterone guys our height have. Cookies look deeeelish. Go bucks!
these look amazing, and…. I have all these ingredients at home! Guess what I am making tonight! Woo Hoo. Happy Friday, Y’all!
Uhh, YUM! Yum. Did I mention yum? I’m not Paleo, but I’d eat these!
I’m also 6 feet and pretty terrible at crossfit. Except rowing tall people rock at rowing. Also, these look delish. I don’t know if i will make them though, I would probably eat the entire batch to myself. Which would be terrible, or not… tough call.
Oh gosh, I’m 5’9″ so maybe I’d be terrible at Crossfit too! Eeek!
I’m 6’2 and it’s a benefit for box jumps, wall balls, max height box jumps, and rowing! look @ the positives!
I’m also an amazon and while it is harder to do things we’re built for the following:
1. Wall balls
2. Lifting and carrying heavy stuff (yoke walks, deadlifts, just to name a few)
3. Pushing the sled with weight on it.
4. Ball slams
5. Rope climbs (These are hard but advantage: halfway there when you’re up on the rope!)

Amazons for life!
ohmygosh yes, being 6ft tall in crossfit is not cool. I am also exactly 6ft tall. Maybe a 1/2 inch more but I prefer to say 6ft because that’s tall enough.
These cookies look like they are about to rock my world.
These look delicious!
DICAS was the death of me! But it is definitely all worth it. I just started my masters/dietetic internship in august. Just make sure you keep extremely organized with all your deadlines! If you ever have any questions feel free to ask! I love stopping by to read your blog and trying your recipes! Can’t wait to try these cookies 🙂
Ohh what a delicious disaster I made of these! Totally missed the part that said leave plenty of room between them, so I ended up with one giant cookie…. still amazing, next time I might pay a bit more attention why trying a new recipe for the first time!! 🙂
Made these… delicious! Totally making up some coconut milk ice cream today, spreading some between 2 cookies, freezing and enjoying an ice cream sandwich tonight!
I’m from Columbus, I’m OSU alumni and I eat paleo… crazy. We’re like twins but I’m short and half-Japanese, otherwise the similarities would be nuts. I just found your site and I’m already obsessed. I’m good with savory paleo foods and dinners, but I need major guidance in the baking department. I can’t wait to make these tomorrow for my kids!
I have to say these are by far the best paleo chocolate chip cookies I’ve made. I think that the chewiness of the added coconut is what sold me. Bravo!
How do you remember Full House young girl?! Hahah…. Jk 😉
Can you sub the ghee butter for coconut butter?
I’m sorry i meant coconut oil?
Should be fine! 🙂
These are the BEST paleo cookies I’ve made to date! I made a few small modifications: I cut the almond flour to 1 1/4 cup and added 1/4 coconut flour and held off on the coconut (not my fav). They were wonderful! I also don’t buy almond flour, but buy raw almonds and grind it in my magic bullet 🙂
Just made these. They were ok. Not sure what I did wrong, but it’s worthwhile to mention you should smush them down into a cookie like shape before baking as they didn’t really spread out like a real cookie. I put Heath bar in mine (so not paleo, but what can you do?) & they ended up like cake balls. Oh, and I used coconut flour instead of coconut. 🙂
In the oven as we speak! I did see where someone subbed in some coconut flour, I used their ratios so I’m going to see how that goes. I like the consistency that coconut flour lends in cookie recipes asking for almond flour/meal.
They are done and they were tasty! I do think that it would be wise to advise people to “smush” the cookies down because just putting the tablespoonfuls dropped will have them cook that way. But I did mine with 1 1/4c almond meal and 1/4c coconut flour with no added coconut, and made them with grassfed butter and pastured eggs. SUPER TASTY!! Some of the best paleo chocolate chip cookies I’ve had, thanks!
okay…I will be honest…i make these to much. they are so easy and so yummy….at least I have to make them to eat..love with my night time tea…
I baked the cookies this afternoon they were so good. I have tried several others but these are the greatest. I am also paleo and love it
WALL-BALLS!!!!! Super easy for tall peeps, hard for shorties like me 🙂
These are fantastic!! so easy, quick and husband had no idea they were paleo. Its my new chocolate chip cookie recipe. thanks for sharing!!
Is there something you can substitute something else for the shreaded coconut? I wouldn’t mind but my husband doesn’t like the coconut texture? Or can you even tell it’s in there?
Haven’t tried substituting anything but you might be able to try a couple tablespoons of coconut flour? I would just add one at a time until you get the right consistency!
Thank you!!
just took these out of the oven and they are sooooo good! seriously,they are now my go to chocolate chip cookie!
What is the best way to store these coookies?
I store them in an airtight container at room temp if they will be used in a day or two, but past that I put them in the fridge!
