The kids had been begging for homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies for weeks but I’d been putting off making them because I had never found a recipe I liked. Soooo I decided to make up my own instead!! By the third batch (and third week) we finally have a winner.
Sweetened with organic coconut sugar and using almond flour as a base, these Chocolate Chip Cookies are refined sugar-free, gluten-free and grain-free.
We personally love Green & Blacks Organic Dark Chocolate because it also doesn’t contain any artificial flavours, emulsifiers or vegetable oils like a lot of other chocolate. But they also have a delicious Organic Milk Chocolate which is free from artificial flavours and vegetable oils but does contain organic raw cane sugar and anorganic soy lecithin emulsifier. This is still one of the cleanest milk chocolates I’ve found in NZ.
These cookies will last for a week or so in an air-tight container but they are especially delicious fresh out of the oven while they are still soft and gooey and the chocolate is nice and melty - yum!
