These Grain Free Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies taste so good, you won’t notice they are healthier. They are easily made with only six ingredients. Oh so satisfying and the perfect treat to help you meet your New Year’s goals. {gluten free, dairy free}
I am so excited! I don’t mean to shout but did you see my video? I have worked so hard on getting my video on. It’s one of my New Year’s Resolutions and I am so proud of myself for figuring it out.
I owe a lot of credit to my daughter Maddie who is a video expert. I mean Cooper, our dog, has his own Musically channel called Cooper The Dog, of course! She makes the cutest videos of him with props, voice-overs and all kinds of special effects. Check it out and be sure to follow him if you are on Musically. She showed me the basics of using my iPhone 6s for making the video. Then I learned how to upload and used iMovie to edit. Videos get so much more engagement all around and I can’t wait to make more.
Maybe the next one will take me less time. ?
Can I just say, it’s hard to put yourself out there. I have been hesitant to post my videos because I worry about the lighting, the props, the angle of the camera, the transitions and even my lack of manicure. I mean my hands look so ugly and old, but if I obsess over stuff like that, I’ll never do anything. So, that’s it! Here it is in all its’ glory and its’ shortcomings.
On to important cookie matters. You must try this Grain Free Almond Chocolate Chip Cookie. I know I always say everything is good but this is definitely on my short list of great. It’s not so bad for you…hard to believe! It only contains six ingredients and they are so easy to make. It’s weird how that almond butter and egg can mesh together to make what tastes like a cookie with flour. It’s amazing!
I love making healthier treats like this because I always crave something chocolatey after dinner. Instead of a huge bowl of ice cream, I try to reach for something like this. Sometimes it’s these Chocolate Almond Protein Balls and other times I make these Chocolate Cashew Energy Balls.

- crunchy
- sweet (but not too sweet)
- paleo (if you use a paleo approved chocolate chip or chopped chocolate bar)
