These double chocolate chip cookies are so soft and chewy, you won't want to stop eating them! They're gluten free, eggless and dairy free!
I came to a shocking realization that I don't have a ton of dessert recipes on here. Which is an absolute shame because I love dessert and eat them all the time! I have an important question for all of you, which is your favorite, cookie or a brownie? I go back and forth between the two, it really depends on my mood. These double chocolate cookies almost taste like a brownie. So for me, it's the best of both worlds!
Ingredients
- Almond flour: I've said it before but Costco has the best deal on almond flour. You can also find the same brand on amazon! You want to make sure you get almond flour and not almond meal. Read about the benefits of almond flour here.
- Brown sugar: Both light or dark brown sugar would work well in this recipe. Coconut sugar can also be substituted.
- Maple syrup: This chocolate cookie recipe only calls for 2 tablespoons, but use the real stuff if you can. The fake maple syrup has a bunch of additives and artificial flavors that will change the outcome of the chocolate cookies.
- Flax egg: You can substitute this for a regular egg if you want. My husband was diagnosed with an egg allergy so we have to do eggless recipes from now on!
- Chocolate chips: If you are diary free or vegan you can substitute dairy free chocolate chips.
- Sea salt: I like to use a flaky sea salt like Fleur de Sel or Malden sea salt to top these double chocolate cookies.
