CRUNCHY COOKIES

Oh my word. I finally got around to making these delicious biscuits that are Low Carb and High Yumminess! Man, that sounds cheesy but it's true. They are perfect for a quick fix with a cup of coffee (and no I didn't eat ALL the cookies on the plate - the pic would have looked a bit boring with only two though!).

I found this coconut flour recipe online that I tweaked a little. You're not really supposed to have too much honey if you're Banting (just 1 teaspoon a day) but I tried these biscuits with Stevia and I can't deal with that taste. If you're only having a cookie or two then the honey really shouldn't be a problem... just don't go eating the whole lot! The same applies to the chocolate chips. I used Lindt 85% dark chocolate. The higher the cocoa percentage the less sugar in the bar. Keep an eye on the cookies in the oven because they can burn quickly.
