Gluten Free Chocolate Cookies
These Gluten Free Chocolate Cookies are full of flavour and so easy to make. Not only are they gluten free, but they are also dairy free and vegan friendly.
I love creating gluten free cookie recipes, especially ones that my kids absolutely adore and these double chocolate cookies are no exception! They are simply amazing!
These cookies are adapted from Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies and they are just as easy to prepare with only a couple of minor adjustments and the addition of raw cacao powder.
They are the ultimate chocolate cookie with not one but two chocolate ingredients.

You can use any type you want to suit your dietary requirements. You can use regular chocolate chips, sugar free, dairy free, carob or cacao nibs.
