Low FODMAP Diet CHOCOLATE COOKIES Recipe

YIELD: 20 COOKIES

They’re low-FODMAP and reduced fat!
And they’re crispy on the outside but chewy inside the ideal combination, in my opinion.

Stick with the chopped dark chocolate during the strict phase of the diet.

To make your cookies picture-perfect, set aside some of the chopped chocolate and press a few to the top of each cookie right after they come out of the oven.
