Paleo Oreos

As a kid, I loved oreos. But not really the chocolate cookie. My favorite thing was to eat all the “stuff” inside.  Actually, my favorite kind of oreo was the kind that had vanilla cookies.  The stuff inside seemed creamier or something.

Thankfully I’ve wisened up and learned to appreciate a good chocolate cookie.  My friends and family have been asking for a paleo oreos recipe for quite some time.  I finally decided to get in the kitchen and make them.  Boy am I glad I did!

The chocolate cookies have a bit more softness to them than traditional oreos, giving them a “homemade” flair.  The cream is creamy and pairs perfectly with the cookies; the end result is pure paleo oreos deliciousness!

I use Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides to add extra protein and gut-healing properties to these paleo oreos.  It also makes everything the perfect texture! Guys, this stuff is amazing and I love putting it in everything from coffee to muffins to smoothies to cookies!
