chocolate chip cookies — RECIPES

I have tried so many gluten free + sugar free cookie recipes in my life and I swear they all come out tasting like sand (thanks to the coconut flour). The texture is so important when making a good chocolate chip cookie, and I think this recipe nails it right on the head!

They are low in sugar and carbohydrates, and don't contain any gluten! They are SUPER easy to make and take no time at all! I made them for our house the other evening.. and lets just say I should have doubled up on the ingredients because they were gone before morning!

Below you will find the the recipe to these chewy and deliciously healthy chocolate chip cookies!
