Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies
Let's talk chocolate! Dark chocolate has incredible wellness properties and is, in fact, consider the most powerful antioxidant superfood.
Studies show that dark chocolate is associated with heart health, managing cholesterol and blood sugar level; and it is good for the kids because is said to better the cognitive function.
But be carefull, NOT all chocolates are good. There a a big number of chocolate brands that make bars with very little chocolate and a lot of sugar and bad chemicals to "enhance" flavor. So be smart when buying the chocolate you want to share with your family and always choose real dark chocolate.
I did some research to give you lights on the best options and found an article at a website called Healthyeater.com that recommends the following "commercial" brands:
1. Ghirardelli Intense Dark. 72% Cacao and 86% Cacao Chocolate Bars.
2. Godiva. 72% Cacao Chocolate Bars. Not processed with alkali.
3. Lindt. 70%, 85%, and 90% Cacao bars. They also make a 99% cacao.
If you go to Wholefoods, Trader Joe's or Stew Lenards you can find different options, including local brands.
