PERFECT FOR A NUT-FREE SCHOOL SNACK!
A delicious, gluten-free, nut and refined sugar-free chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Many schools have a nut-free policy and Iโve gotten lots of requests for grain-free cookies that are also nut-freeโฆ THIS IS IT!ย
These cookies are versatile and you can play with the texture.ย Grinding the sunflower seeds to a fine flour or leaving them a bit chunky.ย I personally like them with a little bite so I don’t grind them completely.ย You can also sub chocolate chips with other add-ins.ย raisins, cranberries, or other dried fruit work well!ย
