Recipe: Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
Searching for healthy recipes that taste amazing often feels like digging for gold. Cooking is a therapeutic process for me, but their is nothing that pisses me off more than slaving away in the kitchen for a meal that leaves me unsatisfied. I don’t eat dessert often, but when I do, I want it to taste yummy, be somewhat healthy, and I want to wake up the next morning with a lean and forgiving physique and pretend like it was all just a dream and never really happened. Can you relate?
I’m excited to share yet another healthy and forgiving dessert recipe with you!
This recipe can remain guilt-free as long as you can control yourself and limit yourself to a cookie or two. If you think you could eat the whole batch, then plan to invite a couple of friends over, save the recipe for a pot-luck, freeze the leftovers, or cut the ingredients in half or quarters.
Enjoy a cookie or two and don’t wake up feeling like you have to pay for it!
