INTRODUCTION

As someone who was recently diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and has spent the last almost thirty years of my life without any dietary restrictions, you can imagine how hard it is now to suddenly become ill to foods I had been enjoying my whole life. My journey to wellness lead me to create each and every one of these recipes featured on Damngoodthyme.

With the diagnosis of MCAS came hormonal imbalances, leading to hypothyroidism and PCOS. What I was unaware of at the time of these diagnoses, was that diet would play the biggest role in helping me achieve remission and lose the weight gained from all of the inflammation my body was under. I began to prioritize eating high protein meals to help with blood sugar imbalances. But, with any "diet" there should always be room for foods that you enjoy- which is why I came up with these flourless chocolate chip cookies.

These chocolate chip cookies are a delectable treat that defies conventional baking norms. They are a celebration of simplicity and rich, chocolatey goodness, all without the need for traditional flour. Instead, they rely on a harmonious blend of alternative ingredients to create a chewy and satisfying texture.

Each bite is a luscious encounter with gooey chocolate chips nestled within a cookie that's both decadent and gluten-free. Perfect for those with dietary restrictions or anyone seeking a deliciously unconventional cookie experience.
