Spiced Double Chocolate Chip Cookie – Grain Free & Paleo

A twist on this classic cookie recipe! Inspired by a cookbook I bought online – Grain Free Desserts by Jennifer McGruther. I love many of her recipes! I added my spice mix as I can’t have a recipe without them! You can also use a drop of culinary essential oil – make sure they are edible quality. I have used cane sugar but you can substitute with date paste, stevia or honey! You can substitute eggs with flax or chia in water as well as use a teaspoon of coconut yogurt to make this vegan! The possibilities are endless. But not to overdo this time – I have just added the chai spice mix.
