Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies


Chocolate chip cookies are a universal favorite.

Unfortunately, not everyone can enjoy traditional chocolate chip cookies, especially those with allergies to gluten and/or dairy.

These Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are not only delicious -- they are low in sugar and dairy free.

And since they are made without flour, they are also gluten free!

Almond butter replaces butter in this chocolate chip cookie recipe, so you benefit from all its protein and healthy goodness.

If you are a fan of dark chocolate, you are in luck. This recipe calls for 3 ounces of 70% dark chocolate. Of course, you can substitute whatever type of chocolate you prefer.

This healthier cookie recipe also uses Sucanat. What is Sucanat? It is non-refined cane juice which retains its molasses content and is generally accepted as a grainier substitute for brown sugar. Of all major sugars derived from sugar cane, Sucanat ranks the highest in nutritional value, containing a smaller proportion of sucrose than white sugar. While still not a health food, it is a healthier alternative to white sugar.

Did I mention that these chocolate chip cookies are easy? With just 6 ingredients they stir together quickly so you can be enjoying luscious, warm from the oven healthier chocolate chip cookies in 30 minutes or less!

Testimonials

"I have been researching and trying a number of recipes to make a healthy cookie similar to one that our Gym coffee shop sells for $3.50! This particular recipe was adapted so instead of bars I made thick round cookies and cooked them just underdone so they were soft and chewy. They were a hit with all the girls. Thanks for the great recipe."

Thanks,
