Hey loves! I teamed up with Thrive Market to share with you some of my favorite gluten free recipes and these chocolate chip cookies certainly top the list! I loving call these healthy nutella cookies because I made them with both chocolate chips and slivers of hazelnut – two of the main flavors in the beloved nutella spread. However, these delicious cookies are actually vegan (dairy free), sugar free AND gluten free, which make them pretty darn magical on the spectrum of sweet treats! Whip them up for yourself at home and let me know what you think! Tag us on your posts @cassandrabodzak, @thrivemkt and #eatwithintention!
