Cookies make everything better!

The snow has finally melted here in Cincinnati, so it decided to rain, rain and rain some more.

The Ohio River is flooding, and so is my backyard.  Before the rains came I got to spend the last sunny day out in the yard, I cleaned the chicken coop, yes I know yuck, but I didn’t care it was sunny and warm and I was outside.

I also got to clean my dog, time and time and time again.  The little hooligan dove, dashed, dug and slid in every inch of mud she could find.  Of course I tried to usher her into the mud room until I could get a towel to try to minimize the damage to my house, but she would always thwart me and do a mud shake closest to the cabinets, walls and windows.  Sigh…. good thing she is so darn cute.

How to Make my Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies.

I love a good chocolate chip cookie, it is without my favorite dessert, and I prefer a crunchy cookie to a soft and gooey one.

When I tried out several different recipes for a paleo chocolate chip cookie recipe, several fell short. Either they had no flavor or were crumbly. Using Almond Butter as the binder in this recipe helps to give the cookie that crunchy cookie texture and a boat load of flavor.

Using Enjoy life chocolate chip cookies (which can be found in the organic section of your grocery store) keeps this recipe dairy free and since there is no flour the recipe is also gluten free. It is a quick and simple recipe to pull together no need for a mixture just two bowls and a fork. When you are in the mood for a cookie you can have a warm gooey paleo chocolate chip cookie in less than 30 minutes.Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe gluten free dairy free granulated sugar free easy and delicious | ahealthylifeforme.com
