Turn your favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe into a Smart Chocolate Chip Cookie!

Instead of White Flour – Swap in Whole Wheat Flour. Here is why: it’s less refined and has lower glycemic index, which means it won’t cause your blood sugar to spike the way treats made from white flour will. Using Organic Raw sugar instead of refined white sugar is also a good swap. Its just a bit of harm reduction but it will make cookie time feel better all the way around!
