Who else loves chocolate chip cookies as much as I do? All I know is that at any moment while sitting on the couch after dinner, watching my favorite show (currently very interested in Too Hot To Handle, no judgement please), I could crave chocolate chip cookies. So I like to have a quick, fool proof recipe in my back pocket for when the craving hits. This recipe is the one for you!
It's not only made with wholesome ingredients, but I usually have all of these in my pantry! It's gluten free using almond flour and also dairy and egg free, not using any eggs! It takes less than 20 minutes to whip up (12 of those minutes involves you patiently waiting in front of the oven for the timer to go off).
I am a big advocate of using what you have on hand. Substitute the coconut oil for olive or avocado oil. If you're not vegan, sub it for butter! If you;'re not a chocolate chip fan (I know there's not many people but some), try adding raisins, walnuts, pecans or your dried cranberries! Without further waiting, let's get to the delicious recipe!
