In an effort to have more nut free options, I have been utilizing the wonder flour, coconut flour.  It’s quite intersting to work with and definitely works differently than any other flour. Coconut flour is packed with fiber and is cholesterol free!  My kids won’t eat bananas

After much laboring in the kitchen, I have finally created a gluten free chocolate chip cookie that is, get this, nut free as well!!  These are more like a classic soft baked chocolate chip cookie. The trick to not burning these cookies is cooking them at a lower temperature.  Now if you do not have a nut allergy, you could also fold in your favorite nut for an extra crunch.  Be careful not to eat a whole tray full of these as they are made with only coconut flour, meaning high in fiber!
