Nothing beats a classic chocolate chip cookie- they are my number one craving when I am stressed, overwhelmed or just need some extra comfort. There are no shortage of CC cookie recipes on the internet and lately i’ve been guilty of baking up Ballerina Farms frozen dough (they are seriously the best). I’m always experimenting in the kitchen to create healthier versions of my favorite treats. These grain free cookies are pretty perfect. They are soft and chewy with a rich buttery flavor and loaded with ooey gooey chunks of chocolate- yet they’re completely gluten-free and refined sugar-free, packed with protein and spiked with some beauty magic from pearl powder.
Tips and Tricks
• if you don’t do dairy replace the butter with coconut oil
• skip the pearl if you don’t have it on hand
• Ballerina Farm cookies are an add on to their meat boxes. They sell out quickly.
• These taste even better the next day!
