Grain Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

GRAIN FREE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

By Allison Jones

These grain free cookies are very unique. Several ingredients may not seem to work well together, but somehow they do!

The cookies are melt-in-your-mouth delicious and the ultimate in peanut butter goodness. They would be perfect for a holiday party, or to give to a friend to bless and thank them!

When shopping for the ingredients for this recipe, I headed over to Trader Joe’s, mostly because I think that they have the best prices for specialty items like 100% raw sugar, coconut flour, almond meal, vanilla extract and unusual, healthy ingredients. Items that can be more expensive at regular grocery stores.

Trader Joe’s specializes in quick-prep, prepared, healthy, delicious, and reasonably priced items. I buy other bulk items, like coconut oil in a big jar, from Costco because of how much I use and how often I use it.

I think it’s worth the investment to buy in large quantities if you plan to cook or bake with a particular ingredient frequently. It ends up being a great deal for the price. For all the other ingredients in this recipe, you would be fine to buy at any general grocery store.

Try serving these cookies at your next party. I promise, they do not disappoint!
