With ingredients that are actually packed with nutrition, you can't really go wrong. This is a new spin on a classic cookie. Consider them health-i-fied chocolate chip cookies.
This recipe makes about 24 cookies.

- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup erythritol (like Swerve), xylitol or stevia to taste (Stevia is not a 1:1 conversion, so you have to add according to your taste preference.)
- 1 organic egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) organic butter
- 1 bar sugarless chocolate, chopped into chunks. You can use Simply Lite (Trader Joe's), Coco Polo, Lydia's. Or you could whip up a batch of chocolate bark from the Nutrition Plans.
