Chocolate Chip Cookies
It is possible to make delicious cookies using whole food ingredients. Shocking, we know. But definitely doable.
We used grain-sweetened chocolate chips by SunSpire which we purchased at Whole Foods. For a store near you that sells these chocolate chips, simply visit the SunSpire web site. Â Note that this makes a small batch of cookies for 2 reasons:
1) They are higher in fat and calories than most of our recipes, so we didn’t want to have a huge batch sitting around the house.
2) These things are addictive. Given the chance, we most definitely WOULD eat an entire, huge batch. So best to be safe and make a small one. Don’t you think?
Enjoy!
