The Ultimate Almond Chocolate Chip Cookie

Recipe

Vegan & Gluten-Free

Serves 24

This is the perfect gluten-free, chocolate chip cookie that both children and adults alike, fall in love with. The almond flour base makes this cookie a high protein treat with a nutty depth and the almond pieces and oats add some texture. We can’t forget about the delicious, dark chocolate chips spread throughout these cookies - you could replace the chocolate with another nut or seed, but we highly recommend the choc! These are simple, quick, and easy to make and so SO good. Good luck eating just one!
