These cookies stand up to any traditional chocolate chip cookie out there. They are grain-free, and low-glycemic. They are not vegan, but easily can be since there is only one egg, and a little honey to substitute.
It’s another Against the Grain recipe. I tried many grain-free chocolate chip recipes, but this really is the best one.
The recipe calls for a food processor, but I use a stand, or handheld mixer. Whatever you prefer is fine. I really like that I don’t need two bowls with this. I’m all about cutting down on the cleanup.
You can easily make these, roll the batter in a long tube, cover with plastic wrap or cheesecloth, then place in a freezer bag so you can freeze the dough and pop them in the oven whenever you feel like it. It’s not a bad idea to double the ingredients and do that with half of the recipe.

- Place golf-ball sized balls of dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or a SilPat. Using another sheet of parchment on top of the dough, flatten them slightly with the palm or your hand or a spatula. The cookies don’t spread much so create the size and thickness you want prior to baking them.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, until slightly golden around the edges.
