These Gluten Free Dairy Free Cookies are delicious without the guilt of sugar.
As all carbohydrates, they can elevate blood sugars which leads to gaining fat especially around the waist and hip area.
With one of these cookies, the carbohydrate level is low and contains 4 grams of Protein, and 2.5 grams of fibre per cookie.
Benefit of using healthy fat Almond Flour is that it keeps you feeling satisfied and tastes delicious!
At 100 calories per cookie, I recommend only using these for an occasional snack when you just need that something!
