These yummy and crunchy Cranberry Pistachio Paleo Chocolate Cookies are a delicious and decadent addition to your holiday dessert table!

Cranberry Pistachio Paleo Chocolate Cookies

I made these Cranberry Pistachio Paleo Chocolate Cookies on a whim to send out as holiday gifts to my friends and family, and thank goodness I did. I took one bite of these cookies and they are so delicious and amazing, and has the perfect amount of crunch from the pistachios. I probably would’ve have finished the whole thing in one sitting if I didn’t have to pack them up and ship them out.

I honestly didn’t give these cookies much thought when I first started making them and wasn’t even planning to share them with you. I just saw that I had pistachios and dried cranberries in my pantry and decided that they would go great together in cookie form. So I tested out a batch and I couldn’t believe how yummy they turned out, so I made 2 more batches to share them for the holidays (and the recipe with you!).

Sea Salt Makes Sweets Better!

I love adding flaky sea salt to dessert recipes. The flavor and the texture they give are just the best, and I highly recommend you sprinkle some on these cookies to really let the tastes of cranberries and pistachios shine. It also gives such a festive, holiday look, and they remind me of light snowfall.

If you looking for gluten and grain free cookies that are a bit more special and fun than your regular old sugar cookies or chocolate chip cookies, you’ll love these Cranberry Pistachio Paleo Chocolate Cookies.

    Yum! Love pistachios and cranberries in cookies! Do you think you could leave out the cocoa powder in these?

      I wouldn’t, as it would change the texture of the cookies. I suggest substituting with more flour if you want to leave it out.
