Channel your inner Cookie Monster with 40 of the best grain-free cookie recipes the internet has to offer. Healthy, low carb and/or paleo.
You know why Cookie Monster is such a popular character on Sesame Street? Because he’s so darn relatable. Who doesn’t want to throw delicious cookies into their mouth with such wild abandon as that blue furry guy with the googly eyes and the strange accent? But most cookies aren’t exactly good for us and to eat a Cookie-Monster-sized plate of baked treats would send even the healthiest among us into a stratospheric sugar-high.
Thankfully, many of your favourite low carb and paleo bloggers are hard at work creating amazing grain-free and refined sugar-free cookie recipes. I still don’t suggest you eat them in Cookie Monster fashion (please, friends, have some self control!), but I’ve rounded up the best healthy grain-free cookie recipes I could find. Some are low carb, some are paleo, and a few are even vegan! So you can enjoy a few delicious cookies, no matter what your dietary constraints.
