Gluten, Dairy, Sugar... Who needs 'em?

We have been on a quest for the perfect cookie for a while, as you know from previous posts if you follow me. Well, we've almost found one! I haven't tried it with the egg substitute yet, so I can't tell if it's able to be vegan friendly yet, but this particular recipe is Gluten free, Dairy free, AND Sugar free! You can't get much better than that! So read up, and let your mouth water at these yummy healthy cookies. And please, don't knock it till you try it. Did I mention it's low carb? If you make regular size cookies, there's only about 5g carbs per cookie. Pretty awesome right?

So you're going to need:

-2 cups of cashew flour (you do have to grind the cashews, buy regular (doesn't matter if they're salted or roasted or not) container of cashews and grate them in your blender till they're as fine as you can get them. A little chunkiness is to be expected, gives the cookies a little something extra)

-1/3 cup coconut oil, found at your local health food store

-1 cup Stevia in the Raw (big green bag, cheapest at Walmart)

-1/2 tsp baking soda

-1/2 tsp baking powder

-1/4 tsp salt

-3 tsp cinnamon

-3 eggs

-1 cup Ghirardelli Semi-sweet chocolate chips, or a brand without dairy

(this particular recipe I did use about half a cup of regular Ghirardelli white chocolate chips and a full sup of semi sweet, they do have a little bit of dairy in them, but you can make them without.)

First, grind your cashew flour in a blender, or a really awesome and strong food processor, don't be alarmed when the bottom portion of the cashews stick together, it's just the oil in the nuts, and it's just fine. You just have to stir it around.

Next, add all your ingredients together in a bowl, no specific order, and mix together well.

Cook at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, time depending on your oven. They should be fully cooked and not looked gooey when they come out of them oven.

Next, they need to cool and set for at least 10 minutes before they can be eaten.

I really hope you enjoy these cookies! They are such a yummy alternative to regular cookies that you can eat a few of and not feel bad about it!

*Net carbs per cookie, about 5g each.
