Healthy Vegan Orange & Chocolate Chip Cookies 
A great balance of flavour and completely plant-based!
In my kitchen, I love experimenting new recipes and adapting what I see on the web, in cookbooks or what I have in mind to make it healthier or remove animal products.
I have created this recipe using vegan ingredients and increasing the nutritional values. This recipe is, for a dessert, relatively low in fat, in sugar and contains omega 3 which is important for a vegan diet.
The orange and chocolate flavours combine perfectly for a heavenly taste! Be careful, it can be quite addictive!
