Best Tasting Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
Best tasting Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie!
Over the weekend I had such an insane craving for chocolate chip cookies. Problem is that with regular cookies my sugar so I have to stay away from them. However, my daughter had given me a cookbook by Danielle Walker "Against all Grain" and I decided to try the flour-less recipes listed there. OMG these cookies were wonderful! Gooey, chewy, chocolate goodness rapped in crumbs~
The recipe is called real-deal chocolate-chip cookies

Heaven on a Plate
What a treat those were! Since anything that converts into sugar can give me monster headaches I proceeded eating half a cookie with caution, but they were so good that I risked it, lived dangerously and ate the whole cookie. Happy to report that these Paleo chocolate chip cookies did not spike my sugar and that the headaches stayed away.
