I had a craving for something salty – but also sweet and somewhat crunchy. A cookie. Made with wholesome and grain free ingredients these simple cookies hit the spot! I think your family will love them too!
I love coconut oil, but many times I use ghee in baking. It just seems to give grain free flours a little extra body and flavor. It is very easy to make ghee. If you use grassfed butter you will have a delicious and extremely healthy good fat.
If you are sensitive to dairy you might consider trying ghee after a while. Even people sensitive to dairy can tolerate ghee. Ghee has all the health benefits of butter and it would be a shame to keep it out of the diet if you can tolerate it.
