A healthy cookie…it’s possible! These bad boys are gluten free, dairy free, nut free, refined sugar free, and candida friendly! Plus, they satisfy a serious chocolate craving and sweet tooth, without the bad ending for your gut ecology. Lets get right to this mocha chocolate chunk cookie recipe.

Purpose

This recipe accomplishes both in spades.
