Paleo Chocolate Chunk Cookie Bars (Vegan Option)

Oh man! These Chocolate Chunk Cookie Bars are my new fav paleo dessert! They are loaded with chocolate but if you can customize how much chocolate you put in!

If you like traditional chocolate chip cookies, then this recipe is for YOU!

They are Paleo, GF, DF & tasty!

It's like your favourite cookie but disguised as your fav chocolatey treat.... brownies!

These cookie bars are a perfect treat that satisfies your sweet tooth without all the processed sugars n' carbs... (there's nothing wrong with that either).

I love creating treats that are healthier because that's how I feel my best!

This recipe is easily customizable which is one thing I love! See the list below for substitutions!

• 1 egg -- Flax egg or Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer

• 1/4 Almond milk -- Coconut Milk or Whole Milk

• 1/2 Cup chocolate chips -- Nuts or Cocoa Nibs
