Notes
This recipe makes 24 small cookies or 12 big cookies. They spread quite a bit while baking, so leave enough room between the cookies on the baking sheet for them to spread.
*Note: If paleo, baking powder is technically not allowed because it contains cornstarch. I don't mind because it is a negligible amount. If strictly paleo you can make an easy 3 ingredient paleo baking powder using this recipe from wickedspatula.com.
