1 Bowl Chewy Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

What's better than chocolate chip cookies? Not having to dirty a million dishes while making them!

Here at Nourished By Heirloom HQ, we freaking love chocolate chip cookies. If there is any snack we can thank for being with us through the good times and the bad times, it's a good batch of chocolate chip cookies.

We added a couple teaspoons of our Adapt Superfood Tonic to nourish our adrenal glands. When we get burnt out, and our body is tired and needing energy, we often crave sweet foods like candy, chocolate, cookies and cakes. Adding a little bit of adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms will make have your adrenal glands thanking you for the little bit of love and support you've offered them.

This recipe uses almond flour and coconut which is a good source of healthy fats which help reduce the glycemic impact of these chocolate chip cookies. Supporting our blood glucose levels with healthy fats and good quality proteins, along wtih taking adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms, while also giving ourselves a delicious treat is a great way to support ourselves during times of high stress.

Happy baking!
