I have been following the principles of food combining for a long time now and have also been eating a lot more plant based. I have been playing with classic chocolate chip cookie recipes I have made in the past to have them fit within all my dietary guidelines… not an easy task btw!
Finally, I figured out a recipe that is delicious, nutritious, plant based and food combining friendly. Even if you aren’t plant based or don’t follow food combining I still recommend these. I gave them to some friends and family to test out and they all loved them and have requested more!
Kris loves dipping these into my Homemade Coconut Milk when they are still warm. These will stay good in an airtight container or cookie jar for about 5-6 days.. if they last that long!
