CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (DIABETIC FRIENDLY) image

This recipe comes from a cookbook called: "America's Best Cookbook for Kids With Diabetes". (I figured it is a pretty good cookbook for anyone with diabetes though)...It was written in 2005 by C Bartley. A friend gave me the book and the recipes that I have tried are awesome.

I'm not sure why this recipe calls for almond flour. I made them with regular all-purpose flour and they turned out just fine.
