Grainless Chocolate Chip Cookies
Who would have ever thought that chocolate chip cookies without white flour and sugar or eggs, could taste so good, but these chocolate chip cookies* are to die for. Thank goodness, though, you won’t have to die from eating these since they are made with healthier ingredients than traditional chocolate chip cookies that promote inflammation and high blood sugar. They also are a lot easier to make and you won’t be spending hours in the kitchen. I recently made a batch for my family and barely managed to have one for myself. Try taking a batch of these with you to your next holiday party. You will get rave reviews, and you will have at least one healthier party option to choose from.

Grainless Chocolate Chip Cookies*
Ingredients:

2 tsp vanilla extract
8 tbsp dark chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond meal, salt, and baking soda, then add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
