Gluten Free Chocolate Cookies
These gluten free chocolate cookies are easy to prepare dark, chocolatey, indulgent and will satisfy your chocolate craving.
I’ve made them a few times already and they have been a huge hit with the family. (As chocolate cookies would!)
If you haven’t baked with olive oil in place of melted butter before, and are anxious about an olive oil taste then don’t worry with these.
The other ingredients mask the flavor yet you get to enjoy the benefits the nutritious ingredients brings to these gluten-free cookies.
The gluten-free flour blend that I’ve gone for in this recipe is a mix of almond flour and coconut flour to create the best cookies that are free from all purpose flour.
You can feel free to swap the stevia for whatever sugar or sweetener you usually enjoy in baked treats, such as brown sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup or powdered sugar, and also increase the volume to more than the quarter cup. We like our cookies tasting like rich, dark chocolate so prefer it not too sweet.
I’ve listed 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla extract or essence, because you can choose to adjust the flavor for whether you want more of a vanilla flavor or for more of the olive oil taste to shine through.
Turn the cookies into gluten-free chocolate chip cookies or double chocolate chip cookies by adding chopped bittersweet chocolate, chocolate chunks, white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
You could also dip the delicious cookies into melted melted chocolate for indulgent gluten-free double chocolate cookies .
