Connie’s Commitment:

I am a firm believer of MODERATION in all things; these little delights will not only please your mouth, but also pack in lovely health bonuses! All ages, most Americans, male and female alike, the gluten-free and the gluten lover, love a yummy, fresh cookie!  It soothes the mouth, the mind, the belly, and the soul!  Oh and don’t forget the milk!

 

The recipes are originals but have been adapted from what one might find in a recipe book at home, finely tuned to use the highest quality ingredients, local/fresh grains, fresh premium spices enhancing flavor, organic when available, and freshly baked within 24 hours.

This classic American favorite stands the test of time. Connie’s version spare no expense by featuring Guittard ORO Bittersweet Giant Chocolate Chunks© (67% cocoa content), a light melt in your mouth flavor with pastry flours, Madagascar vanilla, and sea salt.

 

Health Bonus: In moderation cocoa is a wonderful source of antioxidants, proven to fight cancer, heart disease, and aging. Additionally, chocolate high in cocoa contents (like the one’s used in our cookies) have many cardiovascular benefits, and release endorphins aiding in stress-reduction and producing a calm, pain-relieving effect.

Monster Chocolate Chunk

If you love chocolate and mint you can’t miss this minty mouth sensation! Featuring Giant Guittard Mint Disks©, peppermint oil, a blend of pastry and whole-wheat flour for added goodness, and Hershey’s Cocoa©. This is my husband’s absolute favorite!

 

Health Bonus: Did you know mint helps to calm a nervous stomach? Mint is also widely known as a treatment for irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive conditions.

Double Mint Chocolate

For those that love more texture and grain goodness in their cookie, this one is for you! Packed with oats and whole-wheat flour this cookie is the highest in fiber of all.  Alternatively a mixture of half butter, half canola oil to reduce saturated fats and increase heart-healthy unsaturated fats.  Organic turbinado sugar (less refined) is used, Madagascar vanilla, and organic sea salt.  Fresh cinnamon and spices used to enhance out of this world flavor.

 

Health Bonus:  The body more easily digests turbinado sugar because it is less processed than cane sugar; it packs more sweetness with fewer calories. Oats and whole-wheat have higher fiber content than traditional flours aiding in a healthy digestion and helping us feel full. Canola oil contains a much lower content of saturated fat, but is high in healthy unsaturated fats reducing blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation.

Everything Nice

You would never guess this one is gluten-free, as all types of eaters love this peanut-y delight (except for peanut allergy of course!).  A blend of brown rice flour and other gluten-free flours are used to increase fiber and give a lovely texture.  Moreover, THREE types of Peanut flavor: 100% natural peanut butter, roasted peanuts, and Reese’s© peanut butter chips.  All balanced with a bit of milk chocolate, because really who can have too much chocolate?

 

Health Bonus: Whether you have sensitivity or not to gluten, adopting a gluten-free diet promotes balance by increasing the variety of grains one eats, more whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and less processed foods.

Eating peanuts packs in protein, healthy fats, and healthy antioxidants aiding a healthy cardiovascular system, prevents gallstones and Alzheimer’s/age-related cognitive decline, and lowers one’s risk of weight gain.
