Coconut Choc Chip Cookies

I love a chunky cookie,
I mean give me maximum thickness to bite into please!
These cookies are thick, chewy and sooo easy to demolish!

I LOVE coconut anything, but make sure you read your labels when you buy coconut products. ⁠

Here's why:⁠

⁠Many coconut products like desiccated/shredded coconut contain the food preservative Sulphites
(also labelled as 220 – 228)⁠

🥥 these ⁠can cause asthma attacks, allergic reactions, hyperactivity, reproductive issues and cause digestive stress, among numerous other claims.

🥥can destroy folic acid and deplete Thiamine (vitamin B1).

🥥 are ⁠derived from the burning of fossil fuels: coal, oil & the smelting of aluminium, copper, zinc, lead, and iron that contain sulphur.

🥥can be found in meats, drinks, medications & more.

🥥⁠note that sulphur derivatives are very different from sulphur. People naturally consume sulphur from proteins/vegetables and is essential to our health.  

Check your labels & make sure you are buying sulphite free!
