Small Batch Grain Free Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies

OH MY GOLLY! These are the best gluten free chocolate chip cookies I've had to date! Tender on the inside, gooey and a slight crisp to the exterior! My husband says the fastest way to ruin a cookie is adding nuts but I disagree! I grew up with nuts in my baked goods so call me old fashioned I guess-ha! These are vegan and oil free, equating to the most delicious healthy cookie and I'm all IN!
