I’m generally not good at coming up with my own baking recipes so I was absolutely thrilled when Laura from The First Mess posted this recipe for date sweetened chocolate chip cookies! Oh and not to mention they are gluten free, vegan and can be made sans nuts for an allergy friendly version! (head over to her site for better pictures than mine, including the sunflower meal). As you probably know if you’ve been following me for awhile, I always go to dates as my method of sweetening because they are packed with fiber and iron! This is the only chocolate chip cookie recipe I make and they are packed with whole food ingredients! I honestly would be fine with my kids having these for breakfast (minus the sugar in the chocolate chips)! Go make these STAT!
