🍪 Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! 🍪
There is still nothing better than homemade chocolate chip cookies. I love grinding my own flour and baking with the kids… those are memories I wouldn’t trade for anything. ❤️
But let’s be honest..life gets busy! So I just got my first Thrive Market order and I’m pretty excited to try these healthier treats. These Simple Mills chocolate chip cookies seemed like a great grab and go option when I want something sweet without completely derailing my goals.
Last October, I decided it was time to make some changes. Through better food choices, drinking LOTS of water (which I used to hate 😂) and working out, I’m officially down 85 pounds.
When I first started, I saw this dress that I absolutely loved. The biggest size the store had was an 8. I remember thinking, “One day I’m going to fit into this.”
Well… today is that day. 🥹 Now I just need somewhere to wear it to lol
I’m not at my final goal yet, but today reminded me that the small choices you make every single day really do add up. I’m incredibly grateful I decided to start.
Now… let’s talk cookies! 🍪
What’s your all-time favorite chocolate chip cookie?
Homemade?
A bakery?
Store bought?
Or do you have a secret family recipe?
I have a homemade recipe my mom used but sub some things out to make them a little healthier by using fresh ground hard white wheat berries and vanilla protein powder.
