\"10<\/p>\n

Eating like a caveman but can\u2019t seem to curb those sweet tooth cravings? It\u2019s OK to indulge in a cookie (or two) every now and then, so long as you strive for a balanced diet<\/a> the rest of the time. However, restrictions for the Paleo diet<\/a> mean that baking ingredients like dairy products and flour are off-limits. But, thanks to some dedicated food bloggers committed to the cookie cause, it\u2019s still possible to whip up a tasty treat that\u2019s compatible with paleo living. From homemade Oreos to delicious pinwheels, we\u2019ve rounded up the most mouth-watering paleo-friendly cookies. Ladies and gentlemen, fire up your ovens!<\/p>\n

2. <\/b>Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
\n<\/a><\/b>Put a delicious twist on this classic chipper, with extra-large chocolate chunks for maximum melty perfection. The dough will be moist and oily but letting it rest for a half an hour will make it easier to handle. And don\u2019t forego the fine grain sea salt: It enhances the dark chocolate flavor!

\n<\/a><\/b>Think bacon doesn\u2019t deserve to be in a dessert? Think again. The saltiness of the breakfast meat pairs perfectly with the sweet flavor of chopped dark chocolate, making this inventive recipe doubly delicious. Photo and Recipe: Gina \/ <\/i>Running to the Kitchen<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Crispy-Coconut-Butter-Paleo-Cookies\"<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/b>With cute decorations on top, these treats are sure to be a crowd pleaser. Plus, each cookie packs four grams of protein, thanks to the nutritious sunflower seed butter.

\"Paleo-Homemade-Oreos2\"<\/p>\n

7. <\/b>Homemade Oreos
\n<\/a><\/b>America\u2019s Favorite Cookie is actually vegan, but paleo? Unfortunately no. But this genius recipe is grain-free and still has that crunchy texture of real Oreos. If you\u2019re feeling untraditional, use almond butter instead of the buttercream filling to make the sandwiches. Photo and Recipe: Adriana \/ <\/i>Living Healthy with Chocolate<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Macaroons_Paleo-Cookies\"<\/p>\n

8. <\/b>Primal Coconut Macaroons

9. <\/b>\u201cOatmeal\u201d Cream Pie Cookies with Marshmallow Fluff
\n<\/a><\/b>Decadent fluff steals the show in this recipe that paleo-fies those Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies<\/a>. Though these are definitely an indulgence, they\u2019re better for you than the supermarket versions because they don\u2019t contain any unnatural preservatives. Since this recipe only yields six sandwichs, plan to double up if you\u2019re expecting guests. Photo and Recipe: Jenni \/ <\/i>The Urban Poser<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Apple-Cinnamon-Paleo-Cookies\"<\/p>\n

10. <\/b>Apple Cinnamon Cookies
