Source of recipe: I'm visiting my parents on the top of a mountain in the middle of nowhere, Panama, and haven't been able to find vegan chocolate chips so I picked up some locally grown organic cacao nibs and I'm pretty sure I've been converted and won't be using chocolate chips again! They're also a superfood high in antioxidants and minerals which is fantastic. They add a huge chocolate flavour and a great crunch which means there's no real need for nuts at all if you usually like nuts in your cookies. My dad says they're the best chocolate chip cookies he's ever had!
SO HOW'D IT GO?
