Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies

Submitted by 89240

"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."

I just made these and they are great but i would recomend using dark chocolate or semi sweet chocolate chips. Other wise i love them the mixture is great.
