The Easiest Salty Chocolate Chip Cookies
Who else loves chocolate chip cookies as much as I do?
All I know is that at any moment while sitting on the couch after dinner, watching my favorite show (currently very interested in Too Hot To Handle, no judgment please), I could crave chocolate chip cookies. So I like to have a quick, foolproof recipe in my back pocket for when the craving hits. This recipe is the one for you.
It's not only made with wholesome ingredients, but I usually have all of these in my pantry! It's gluten-free using almond flour and also dairy and egg-free, not using any eggs! It takes less than 20 minutes to whip up (12 of those minutes involve you patiently waiting in front of the oven for the timer to go off).
I am a big advocate of using what you have on hand. Substitute the coconut oil for olive or avocado oil. If you're not vegan, sub it for butter! If you're not a chocolate chip fan (I know there aren’t many people but some), try adding raisins, walnuts, pecans, or your dried cranberries! Without further ado, let's get to the delicious recipe!
