Vegan Macadamia Chocolate Chip Cookies

Jason Wrobel—aka J-Wro, celebrity vegan chef and humorous television host—fulfills a long time request out of Chicago for a vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe. Jason does this and then takes it further by making these vegan cookies gluten free and full of superfoods too. Oat flour, rich in beta glucans and other healthy complex carbohydrates, coconut sugar, ground flax seed with essential fatty acids, arrowroot, Warrior Blend protein, vanilla, organic apple sauce, coconut oil with its medium chain triglycerides, organic cacao chips, macadamia nuts, and raw coconut make these cookies healthy, delicious, and nutritious.

Seriously, these little guys combat inflammation, cholesterol, and more. Fifteen minutes in the oven and you have gooey, crunchy, yummy goodness. Resist the urge to slap somebody though, please! They are so good that it's hard not to, but you will make it through
