This healthy chocolate chip cookie recipe is super easy to make. My secret is to use good-quality dark eating chocolate. The 70 – 80% cocoa type such as Lindt, which is not too sweet. Using quality ingredients will create the most delicious cookie, and will be perfect with your next pot of tea or to dunk into a glass of icy cold almond milk.
You don’t need any special equipment to make this recipe, just a bowl for mixing the ingredients with your hands. I always double or triple the recipe because they don’t last long in my home.
This recipe is from my cookbook Purely Delicious.
WHAT’S GREAT ABOUT THEM
The ground almonds in this recipe make a wonderful replacement for the traditional white refined flours that you’ll find in most store bought cookies. Almonds are a good source of protein and are packed with vitamin E.
