I've been making a lot of cookies lately (like this one and this one).
This healthy chocolate chip cookie in a mug recipe might just change the cookie game though!
Ok, well maybe that was a bit dramatic, but this recipe is pretty awesome.
If you're following the ketogenic diet you'll love it because it only has 5 grams of net carbs.
And if you happen to be gluten-free you'll love it because there's no gluten! The base is made up of coconut flour and protein powder, instead of white/wheat flour. The crazy thing is, you honestly can't tell that it's not a "normal" chocolate chip cookie recipe.
My favorite thing about this recipe though is that it lets you satisfy your chocolate chip cookie cravings in just about 5 minutes. Also, since this only makes one cookie, portion control is already built into the recipe! And that's a huge plus for me, because I can't just eat one cookie when I make a batch.
