Benefits:

• Almond flour is a great alternative to regular flour because it is lower in carbs and higher in protein and healthy fats.

• Coconut flour is also a low-carb, high-fiber option that adds a slight sweetness to the cookies.

• Coconut sugar is a natural sweetener that has a lower glycemic index than regular sugar.

• Maple syrup is another natural sweetener that contains antioxidants and minerals.

• Coconut oil is a healthier fat option that is high in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are easily absorbed and used by the body for energy.

• Dark chocolate contains antioxidants and has been shown to have positive effects on heart health.

• By using these healthier ingredients, these cookies are a better option for those looking for a treat that is lower in carbs and sugar, while still satisfying their sweet tooth.
