Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are pretty good. No, they do not taste exactly like traditional chocolate chip cookies, but they're good for sweet cravings. They're somewhat like shortbread cookies, with chocolate chunks. I plan on trying to use more almond meal and less baking mix next time, as I don't care for the taste of the mix. For the chocolate, I used a mixture of hershey's sugar free dark and milk chocolates.
