NUT-FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

I had the opportunity to meet the creators of Jungle Project last year and learn about their sustainable, grain-free, nut-free Breadfruit Flour. Breadfruit is a staple plant in many tropical countries, so much so, that a single breadfruit tree can provide nourishment for a family of 4, for up to 75 years! At Sweet Laurel, we’ve been looking to expand our nut free options and are ALWAYS looking for ways to be more sustainable in our operations. Hearing about Breadfruit Flour was fascinating, and I’ve been recipe testing with it lately! This delicious, classic cookie is a result of my testing, and you will be sure to see more recipes from me using this incredible flour.
