Everyone has been asking me for this recipe and I totally understand why! These cookies are so tasty and soft. They can be enjoyed by a few special populations (grain-free, vegan, dairy-free, lower-carb), but even people without any dietary restrictions LOVE them! I’ve included a couple variations with this recipe, including the much-awaited chocolate Reese’s peanut butter cookie variation!
Grain-free chocolate chip cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs or “eggs”

- 2 TBSP melted coconut oil (or Kerrygold butter)
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (Sugar-free Lily’s brand or Enjoy Life brand)
Materials
