Why the obsession with healthy gluten free cookies? Read on!

Diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 1990s

I began focusing on gluten free recipes in the 1990s.

Unfortunately, the gluten free diet was not enough to heal my gut. I took things a step further, eliminating rice, quinoa, potatoes, and corn which helped give me some relief from digestive issues and multiple sclerosis symptoms.

The Grain Free Diet

At that point, I went on a strict grain-free diet.

I became even more committed to this way of life when my son was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2001.

Diet restrictions for a little one are super tough, so I made it my mission to create delicious healthy treats for my 3 year old kiddo –he’s now 24 years old!

My easy recipes for dessert were created for him, and they are all gluten-free, grain-free, and lower carb.

What Is the Paleo Diet?

Decades ago, before it was called the paleo diet, we simply referred to the way we eat as grain free and healthy.

Keto Diet and Intermittent Fasting

My eating plan has continued to evolve over the years. Paleo friendly potatoes and rice make me incredibly ill, and I thrive with a higher level of healthy fat, so I moved over to the keto diet.

I also find intermittent fasting now and then helps to control my inflammation levels.

Biochemical Individuals

We’re all bio-chemical individuals and need to listen to our bodies. To put it simply, I eat food that makes me feel good, and it just so happens all of that food is grain-free. So are my cookie recipes!

Cookie Recipes Healthy

My easy homemade cookies recipes take dessert to the next level because they’re filled with a variety of wholesome ingredients.

And in my healthy cookies with chocolate chips, I use the best organic dark chocolate to keep blood sugar levels stable.

What else goes into keeping this treat wholesome? Making cookies with almond flour instead of high glycemic white flour!

Cookie Recipes Tollhouse

Growing up, I came home every day after school and baked cookies.

In fact, I loved baking so much that by the time I was in high school, I used the Tollhouse Cookie Recipe to make batch after batch of treats. I sold these homemade goodies during my breaks from teaching tennis lessons at the local tennis club.

I loved that wonderful Tollhouse cookie recipe, but it did not love me back, so I created my own healthy version.
