WHITE CHOCOLATE ROASTED ALMOND COOKIES

White Chocolate Roasted Almond Cookies. Crispy, crinkly, buttery cookies studded with crunchy roasted almonds and creamy white chocolate chips.

Yesterday I found myself staring down the barrel of a freshly steamed piece of broccoli. Beautifully green and bright, everything healthy a person could ask for. However the closer it got to my mouth the harder my jaw locked, the harder my face cringed and even my stomach was like, “this isn’t happening today”.

Since January 2nd I have been eating ridiculously on track, no specific program, just healthy. I have only a 1/2 of a piece of what ever dessert I make and then give it away quickly. I followed that routine with these cookies. I took my first bite and thought I had died and gone to heaven, then the next bite. My brain is starting to figure me out and started to tell me to eat this cookie faster, if I just shoved it in my mouth all at once it would all be gone before I had time to reason with myself and stick to the plan, lol. Reason sadly won and I stuck to my plan. But ever since having half of this cookie nothing and I mean nothing has tasted good. My tastebuds and sweet tooth are officially holding broccoli hostage.
