21 Day Fix Approved Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are a favorite for every household!! I know they are in mine! My children love them and so do the kids BUT traditional chocolate chip cookies are made with less than whole ingredients. Processed foods, refined sugars and TONS of butter. No good. I can give my children (and treat myself) to yummy sweets like cookies and feel good about it when they are made with whole, clean ingredients. Sweetened with only natural sweetners and gluten free. These cookies have both those qualities and are not lacking taste in any way. They are delicious!! My husband (who is always hesitant when he hears "gluten free", loves them too! Give these a try! They are sure to be a crowd pleaser in your house as well!
