Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

The cookies were very good! I used parchment paper (left by the previous tenant in my new apt) and they came out quite crispy, which I did not mind. Definitely a cornerstone of the paleodiet cookbook, IMO! Thanks!!!

Glad the recipe worked for you D Rusak! :)
 
These cookies were excellent, thank you Ryanx for sharing. Since I managed to finally find some buckwheat flour locally I just had to make myself something sweet since the last time I had baked goods was a year ago.
Instead of using chocolate I mixed up some carob powder and xylitol in coconut oil, then dipped the top half of the cookies in it and stuck them in the fridge. It was a good treat to finally have some cookies again.
 
I finally baked these cookies. They were excellent & very quick to make. Next time I'm going to try dried cherries/raisons instead of the cocoa nibs. Thanks for the recipe, Ryan. :)
 
I just baked these cookies and used 1/2 cup coconut flour and 1/2 cup buckwheat flour instead of all buckwheat flour.
Anyway, the cookies turned out really good and it was hard to stop eating the cookie dough! Next time I am doubling the recipe!
 
These are really good! My mom doesn't like buckwheat (has an aftertaste like motor oil to her, although she keeps trying to see if she'll get used to it), but she will eat these! Take out the chocolate chips and this is probably a good base for almost any flavor of cookie you want! As an amateur cook, I wonder how much tweaking it would take to be able to make fresh blueberry cookies?

I have two critiques on the recipe:
1. You left out the step to add vanilla. I usually add it along with the egg, in the beginning, to get it mixed evenly into the dough.
2. Do you like your cookies fairly browned? 20 minutes seemed to turn out overly browned cookies for us. After experimenting, now we cook them for 12-13 minutes. This way, they are just browned a bit around the edges and are somewhat chewy.
