Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies (paleo, vegan, gluten-free)

I wanted to leave you with a tasty recipe for this Labor Day weekend, and I’m super happy with this new creation. I’ve been cooking quite a bit lately, as it’s a wonderful creative outlet for me, and also tends to relieve some stress (especially when I’m creating chocolate treats… ). I definitely don’t condone stress eating, but I do encourage finding healthy replacements for foods that would typically have a much bigger burden on your body. These are a health-coach approved healthy treat, but are honestly so nutritious they could go in the “snack” category 🙂

Lily’s chocolate is one of my all-time favortie brands and they recetly released a white chocolate chip. It does contain a small amount of milk-fat, so replace with dairy-free choclate chips if strictly vegan/paleo. I tolerate these fine so I use them for treats like these, but they can easily be replaced.

I'm so excited to have recreated a high-protein and clean version of those store-bought chocolate white choclate chip cookies I used to salivate for. Now we can all enjoy them without the toxins! They could even pass as a healthy snack, not just dessert.
