Pecan, Almond & Cranberry Choc-Chip Cookies
These pecan, almond & cranberry choc-chip cookies have perfect amount of sweetness and just the right amount of crunch!
I absolutely love making these cookies at Christmas time – who am I kidding, all year round. They are great to make and keep in the cookie jar for a healthy treat or cheeky snack. My favorite way to eat them is by dunking them into a glass of almond milk, or just munching on them as they are!
This recipe is healthy, grain-free, gluten-free, sugar-free & dairy-free.
I hope that you love making them as much as I do! Be sure to leave some for Santa!
