HEALTHY COOKIES / WHITE CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO ALMOND

Welcome to my FIRST blog post!!
I am beyond excited to start sharing my delicious and healthy recipes with you, so here we go!

For my first blog post, I picked these amazing white chocolate pistachio cookies since they are one of my favorite healthy cookies ever!

Let me start by saying… don’t you LOVE the white chocolate and pistachio combination?? Seriously I DO!!

These healthy pistachio cookies are deliciously made with almond flour, coconut sugar, pistachios and have some white chocolate chips inside... because pistachio and white chocolate combo is AWESOME!

These healthy cookies are low carb, gluten free, refined sugar free and very easy to make!

As you will see throughout all my healthy recipes, I either use grass-fed butter or coconut oil and it will always depend on wanting the butter flavour or not…
You see, my favourite cookies have always been the shortbread kind… so most of my healthy cookies recipes will be made with grass-fed butter but you can always substitute each other.

DIABETIC DIET TIP

Even though these healthy cookies have some white chocolate chips, since they are also made with good fats from almonds, pistachios and grass-fed butter, you won’t experience the sugar spike you would have when eating any regular refined cookies made with refined sugars and wheat!

I hope to share more about particular brands and what to look for on labels, to show how the food industry can actually fool you!
