While these are not my very favorite chocolate chip cookies, they are tasty. And I love how I can eat them knowing that I am eating a nutritious snack! These cookies are grain free and sugar free! Monk fruit is a natural sweetener that is extremely low on the glycemic index. And it tastes and looks like white sugar! It’s a great alternative that my friend Megan Kelly recently introduced me to! (Just be sure to find organic ingredients to ensure you’re not getting any icky chemicals on or in your food!)
