Cranberry Chocolate Pecan Cookies

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Low-Sugar, Low-Carb

These cookies are seriously sooo good and contain minimal amounts of sugar. Your average cookie has atleast double the carbs and 4-6x the sugar. So you can enjoy them guilt-free this holiday season without the disheartening taste of artificial sweeteners! One of the ways I cut down on the sugar was by using grain-sweetened chocolate chips. They are easily available at any health food store and a great addition to any recipe that uses chocolate chips!
