Story about the recipe: This is a much better and healthier version of the typical Toll House chocolate chip cookie that I made for years! Sugar and wheat flour overload always gave me a headache but I ate them anyway! This cookie is lighter, not as sweet, but sweet enough. It almost melts in your mouth and has potential for many other variations. Feeling better than ever, lowering gluten and sugar in my diet, I am more mindful of everyday food choices and hope to guide others in their desire to improve their health and their enjoyment of cooking with Whole, Green and Healthy ingredients.
