Cookies have always been a fave of mine. A cookie that is the mix of crunch on the outside with some browned edges but still chewy on the inside is perfection. While treats aren’t something that happens every day in our home, I believe that food was made to be ENJOYED and I want my kids to know that baking can be healthy and taste good!
I’ve played with Paleo chocolate chip cookies for years. They were always too mushy or not “fluffy” enough. Then I decided to try the extra step of getting those egg whites nice and fluffy and BINGO! These are great to make with kids or to take to a friend’s house for dessert or an evening barbecue.
Enjoy friends! And as always, I’d LOVE to know what you think!
