Notes

Why You'll Love These:
These cookies are incredibly soft, chewy, and richly flavored without relying on gluten, dairy, or refined sugar. Almond flour gives tenderness, arrowroot creates that classic soft chew, and olive oil keeps them moist. And Pure Crumb's grain-free sourdough starter adds subtle depth and complexity, making these cookies taste like a gourmet bakery treat — but with ingredients that love your body back.
