Grain-free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Written by Jini Cicero
By now, you pretty much know how I feel about chocolate. Then again, is there a person alive who doesn’t love it? I suppose there is but seriously, what’s wrong with them?
You can also add homemade chocolate chip cookies to my list of obsessions-and probably yours too. But, they have to be homemade or I wouldn’t waste the calories/sugar poisoning/carb overload-it just wouldn’t be worth it. So imagine my happiness when I came across this recipe for Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies-even the chocolate chips are gluten free! Now, I know that doesn’t address the calories/sugar poisoning/carb overload issue but it does address the gluten-free issue. So, if you’re adhering to a gluten-free diet (and it really would behoove you to do so), here is a little slice of heaven. Stick with the 3 polite bite rule and your indulgence will result in little damage. Thank you Paleo Plan for creating this awesome cookie makeover.
