I love a good cookie.
And after working so hard for over a month to avoid carbs, well…. it was time for a cookie!
I have to be honest. I’d prefer a plain chocolate chip cookie most days but for some reason, I wanted to try something different.
I was thinking bar cookies would be my best bet, but when I came across this recipe I decided to try it instead.
Of course I doubled it because I think it’s crazy to make a batch of cookies so small that they’re gone within hours. I’d really prefer they hang around for awhile.
These cookies are delicious! They are so chewy on the inside with just the right amount of crunch on the outside.
Now, to get back to the low carbs…
After I have one more cookie.
