Did I hear someone say they love chocolate? You are in the right place! This recipe is from an old favorite of mine, before my gluten, dairy, and egg-free days.

When I found out I had to eliminate gluten, dairy, and eggs I was determined to continue enjoying my favorite cookies. After a few trials and errors, I am happily munching on these chewy, chocolaty cookies once again.

I hope you enjoy them as much as we do…

Gluten-Free Flour:
You could use any gluten-free all-purpose baking mix, but I like the chewiness of the garbanzo bean flour. My husband likes me to add chopped walnuts sometimes too.

To Make Double Chocolate Gluten-Free Cookies You Will Need:                Makes about 4 dozen cookie

• • Butter or Earth Balance Buttery Sticks, for dairy-free.
  • Shortening (I use Spectrum Organic Shortening)
  • Sugar
  • Eggs ~ duck eggs when available, or an egg replacement
  • Vanilla
  • Garbanzo bean flour
  • Rice flour (I use brown rice flour or 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour and 1/2 cup brown rice flour)
  • Xanthan gum or Guar Gum ~ Guar Gum for Low FODMAP
  • Cocoa
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Mini chocolate chips (Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips are gluten & dairy-free)
    sometimes I add 1 cup of plain candy-coated chocolates for fun, especially during the holiday season, these are not dairy-free.

These are also great frozen. Super delicious with a tablespoon or more of frozen So Delicious in the middle like an ice cream sandwich. Or frosting in the middle like a glorified oreo!!

Weight watcher followers can give each cookie 3 points each.
