These Cranberry Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect low-carb and gluten-free holidays season treat. They are filled with sugar-free dried cranberries and dark chocolate chips.
As you probably have noticed by the last few holiday treats I’ve been posting recently (Chocolate Almond Biscotti Cookies, Almond Flour Shortbread Cookies and Almond Flour Cranberry Muffins) that I love baking with almond flour.
It’s not simply because almond flour is packed with good fats, protein and it’s low-carb and gluten-free. I think what I like the most about baking with it, is because of the delicious nutty flavour and the great texture.
Anyways, if you’re in the holiday baking mood like I am, you’ll also have to check out my Chocolate Almond Butter Cookies, Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies!
