Double Chocolate Cookies
Who doesn’t love chocolate? It seems like everyone does! And having a delicious chocolate cookie on hand can definitely keep those happiness hormones flowing. It’s even better when these cookies are suitable for everyone, regardless of dietary restrictions. Bonus: they stay fresh for a long time in an airtight container. Here’s a recipe for gluten-free double chocolate cookies.
This recipe is also easily adaptable to a vegan diet without compromising on quality or flavor. It’s a simple recipe, even a child can make it!
Ingredients:
- 110 g my gluten-free cookie mix
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp psyllium husk
- 90 g vegan butter
- 25 g cocoa powder
- 100 g sugar (I use coconut sugar)
- 1 egg (or a vegan substitute: 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp boiling water)
- A pinch of salt
- 125 g chocolate chips
Start by melting the vegan butter (but don’t let it boil) and allowing it to cool. While it cools, mix the cookie mix, psyllium, salt, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a bowl.
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg (or its vegan substitute) and sugar until combined. Gradually add the melted butter and dry ingredients, mixing until a uniform dough forms. Finally, fold in 85 g of chocolate chips, setting the rest aside.
Once the dough is ready, scoop it onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper using a portioning spoon or an ice cream scoop. Chill the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180 °C (350 °F) while the dough chills. Before baking, decorate the cookies with the remaining chocolate chips, gently pressing them into the dough. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the cookies form a crust.
After baking, carefully transfer the cookies to a cooling rack, as they are very fragile while warm. Once fully cooled, store them in an airtight container.
However, don’t expect these cookies to last long! Kids and their friends tend to devour them quickly. Their simple and safe recipe makes them perfect for school snacks. And if they’re all gone, the kids can easily whip up a new batch on their own.
Enjoy!
