There is something comforting about the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. I created this recipe with three things in mind, less sugar, no grains and no dairy. I replaced almond butter for butter and used coconut sugar instead of regular sugar. Coconut sugar has more flavour, which means I don’t have to use as much sweetener, in addition, it holds a trace amount of vitamins and minerals. This scrumptious chewy cookie is packed with protein and tasty chocolate. I call this a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie without the guilt. Enjoy!
