Other Important Considerations for Nutrition

These cookies are a good source of healthy fats and protein. Almond flour is a good alternative to wheat flour for those following a paleo diet or who are gluten-free. Be mindful of portion sizes, as these cookies are calorie-dense due to the almond butter. Opt for dark chocolate chips with a high cacao percentage for added antioxidants.
