Chocolate Chip Cookies
Jump to recipeThese chocolate chip cookies are lower in added sugar, gluten-free, grain-free, and free of food dyes, refined sugar and preservatives. They are sweet without being too sweet, soft, and chocolatey.
I love to make an occasional chocolate chip cookie when I have company, when I’m going to an event, or when I’m just making a little treat for a Saturday night at home. This is when I will pull out this chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Improving your health can absolutely still mean having an occasional treat–the key is limiting portions, using quality ingredients and having the right ratio of ingredients that won’t spike your blood sugar!
