Get your turmeric fix in cookie form with these vibrant, grain-free brown butter turmeric chocolate chip cookies!

I’m super excited to share these unique cookies with you today! They’re inspired by the beautiful golden hue of the tea towel in the pictures, which was naturally dyed with turmeric by my friend Maggie Pate. Her first book, The Natural Colors Cookbook, just came out this summer and is packed with easy recipes for using food and food waste to dye all kinds of fabrics and fibers the prettiest shades of pink, purple, yellow, orange, blue, and green.

Salted Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies

I’ve had four snow days in the past two weeks. Luckily, I’ve spent my extra time off pursuing an admirable goal: baking the ultimate grain-free chocolate chip cookie.

My quest began when I saw these soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies on Alexandra’s Kitchen. Alexandra’s blog is one of my favorites. Everything she makes is mouthwatering, and I love her detailed tips and stunning, perfectly lit photographs. Basically, I’m a huge fan.

I had to have those cookies.

With a caveat, of course: I wanted them to be paleo-friendly and grain-free.

I’ve made paleo cookies before and thoroughly enjoyed them, but they weren’t the kind of cookies that could blow regular, gluten-containing cookies out of the water. They didn’t have the holy grail: the perfect combination of crunch and chewiness.

I set out to find some grain-free cookies that fit the bill–cookies that were crisp around the edges, but chewy and a tiny bit underbaked in the center.
