Grain Free Cowboy Cookies
Grain Free Cowboy Cookies
These Grain Free Cowboy Cookies are delicious and full of good stuff… nuts, seeds, coconut and chocolate! Traditional cowboy cookies are made with oatmeal (which you can get gluten free) but I chose to make them with almond flour instead). These definitely satisfy my sweet tooth with the perfect crunch!
While this recipe is sweeter than my usually cookies I will give a susbsitue below that uses half the sugar. I find it just as satisfying but definetly not as sweet.
So why the 2 versions? Sometimes I want a “real” cookie but most of the time I want the satisfaction of a cookie but not all the sugar.
While I use coconut sugar in this cookie recipe and coconut sugar is better than white sugar, it is still sugar! For the most part, I try to keep all stage low in my diet.
So go ahead, make some and let me know what you think!
