My AIP Carob Cookies will satisfy your sweet tooth but not derail your AIP diet. These cookies are soft and chewy with the texture of (real) cookies. These little round bits of deliciousness are perfectly acceptable on the AIP elimination phase. No eggs, no nuts, no dairy! In this recipe I use carob powder in place of chocolate powder. Carob often replaces chocolate in AIP recipes because chocolate is not allowed and carob mimics the flavor and texture of coco powder.
I have used beef gelatin in place of the egg and no one would be the wiser! Just a reminder, this recipe only makes 10-12 cookies, so you might want to make two batches because they are THAT good!

can you make this without sugar? i thought sugar isnt aip friendlt?
I wouldn’t recommend making them without sugar but you could defiantly try! The sugar the I use in the recipe is AIP friendly. If you go check out the Paleo Mom she has guides that show you exactly what is allowed on AIP and what is a no go. Hope that helps!!
