Gluten Free Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have been looking at adding some gluten free recipes onto our blog for those that are sensitive. When I first looked at this recipe, I had a hard time believing that everything wouldn’t melt into one big cookie once the cookies got into the oven. The cookies held together well though and are as light as air. The dark chocolate adds just the right touch of additional sweetness, and I added some sliced almonds on top as well for a little crunch in every bite.
- Almonds are a good source of protein and are rich in phytosterols which help to lower cholesterol. Also rich in fiber and vitamin E.
- Making your own nut butter ensures it is all natural with no preservatives or sweeteners.
- These cookies are gluten free for folks sensitive to gluten.
