Chocolate Chip Cookies Vegan GlutenfreeWho doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies? They are such a classic. While these aren’t strictly sugar-free (because the chocolate chunks or chips do have organic sugar), they are a once-in-a-while treat that totally satisfies. Almond meal helps create a crisp classic cookie without any bean flour.

I also used sweet sorghum flour, as it’s a nice substitute for wheat flour, especially in cookies. Balanced with the almond meal and the oats, this recipe would fool anyone into thinking they’re regular cookies. Flaxmeal stands in for the eggs, and vegan margarine for the butter.

Suitable for:
vegan, gluten-free diets

Not for:
low-sodium or migraine diets
