Megan’s Comments:
Gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, flour free. . . and yes, still taste amazing! Most gluten free cookies do not have a texture of a cookie or taste good like a cookie, for that matter. These babies, however, will take that cookie craving and satisfy it.
Some days I even like these cookies more without the chocolate chips, but that is up to you. When I do use chocolate chips, I use the brand ‘Lily’s’ because they are dairy, sugar, and gluten free. Or I use raw cacao nibs, because that is true, healthy chocolate that is good for the soul.
Dr. Jockers’ Comments:
Who doesn’t like chocolate, and when you combine that with the creaminess of almond butter, you have an incredible cookie. Organic dark chocolate that is minimally processed is loaded with antioxidants and compounds like theobromine and PEA’s that improve blood flow into the brain, boost dopamine levels, and make you feel great.
These grain-free cookies are low carb, ketogenic and fat burning. We swapped out the maple syrup that Megan used in her original recipe for the RxSugar, which is sugar-free. Allulose is a natural sweetener that tastes like sugar but has 90% fewer calories and has minimal impact on blood sugar and insulin levels. Allulose is naturally found in maple syrup, molasses, figs, raisins, and jackfruit. It can replace sugar in recipes in a 1:1 ratio and you can read more about allulose here. I know you and the family will really enjoy these!
