Chocolate Pecan Cookies That Are To Die For (Gluten Free & Vegan!)
Let's be honest. Cookies are an important part of life.
No, they're not for every day. That's what makes them special. And no, not the cookies made with white sugar, white flour, and canola oil. That's what makes them toxic and addictive. And that's not really how those ingredients were intended to be used, anyway.
A wholesome, as minimally processed as possible, delicious cookie should be built, baked, and savored with love and mindfulness.
More good news? It's not too hard to switch up a white sugar, white flour, canola oil cookie recipe for a healthier (yet equally delicious) version.
Here, I present my version of the Cowboy Cookie, with pecans, chocolate and oats. Enjoy!
