Gluten-free and absolutely delicious!
I make these cookies for my friends that don't eat gluten and they truly love them. I love them too and I gotta be honest, they're better than most cookies that actually have gluten in them!
Ingredients in gluten-free chocolate cookies
This recipe uses simple ingredients that one would already have in their pantry.
You will need almond flour for this recipe. I like to make my own by blending a bunch of almonds in the food processor.
You can use dairy-free or regular butter.
You will need brown or coconut sugar.
You will also need cocoa powder, make sure it's an organic brand that uses only cocoa as an ingredient.
Use 1 medium sized egg for best results.

You will also need some chocolate chips, salt and vanilla.
