Double chocolate gluten free cookies are loaded with good quality dark cocoa from our local supplier, Mick’s Nuts. Raw chocolate is packed with antioxidants, so this recipe aims to be a healthy alternative to store bought cookies, despite its rich and decadent taste. This cookie is a little crumbly, and its texture is buttery but a little dry – the type of cookie that’s complimented by a cuppa.
Pictured are the cookies rolled into balls and baked in their shape, but you can press these flat using the back of a saucer or roll the dough into a log and cut it into pieces like store-bought cookie dough. This recipe is also easily substituted for other ingredients like coconut and white chocolate instead of cocoa and dark chocolate.
