Do you get a sudden craving for cookies like me? Would you try low sugar gluten-free cookie made from raw stone-ground tahini, sunflower seeds, coconut, chia seeds, and raw chocolate chips? It’s been a recipe in the making, and I’m proud to say these cookies are phenomenal. Mind you, I’ve been gluten-free for almost a decade and haven’t baked with eggs in just about the same time. And I’m proud to say these cookies taste and feel better going down.
