One of my friends kindly made me some gluten free dairy free chocolate chip cookies from Simple Mills, a healthy mix company. Their products feature simple, minimalistic ingredients such as almond flour, coconut sugar, etc.. When I tried their chocolate chip cookies, I fell in love.
So, I rushed home, determined to make my own version and perhaps, even better! And I did.
This classic recipe is super easy, and could be made with the ingredients in your household. Also, there’s a paleo option!
To compare tastes, I also made Simple Mill’s chocolate chip cookies. Their cookies were sugary and crunchy, while mine were hearty and had more depth in flavor. Overall, it depends on what you prefer in a chocolate chip cookie!
Enjoy!
