The World's Healthiest Chocolate Chip Cookies

The World's Healthiest Chocolate Chip Cookies

I consider these to be the world's healthiest chocolate chip cookies!  They are gluten free, vegan and naturally sweetened with a hint of maple. This recipe is from my cookbook Purely Delicious, and they are so simple to make. The secret to making them so irresistible is to use good quality dark eating chocolate, and a pinch of salt to bring out the flavour. I always double or even triple the recipe because they never last long!
