Chocolate Chip Cookies

I LOVE a great chocolate chip cookie.  I never make them because I know I'll be filled with guilt when I eat so many at a time.  I usually end up with a tummy ache (I have no self control). So I avoid them like the plague UNTIL NOW!!

I tried this recipe from the Fixate cookbook by Autimn Calabrese and its incredible.  A guilt free chocolate chip cookie is right up  my alley.  I hope you enjoy these as much as I have!

The best part is that they are super simple and quick to whip up after dinner and as a busy mom - simple is exactly what I need. If you haven't gotten your hands on this cookbook yet... You need to!!

I'll be giving away a free copy via my FB page so make sure to stay tuned 😊
