If you think that “gluten free” and “tastes like cardboard” are interchangeable descriptors, you’ve never had these gluten-free chocolate chip cookies. They’re amazing! Pair them up with a cold glass of homemade almond milk and Santa will be one happy camper this year. This is such a fun and easy way to satisfy your sweet tooth, without the chocolate chip cookie guilt.
Ice Cream’s Best Friend
After whipping up a batch of my favorite vegan coconut ice cream, it seemed like something was missing. Something warm and gooey and doughy. Of course, cookies! This is my favorite vegan and gluten-free chocolate chip cookies recipe. Should I be embarrassed that I know this one by heart? I first discovered these cookies from Angela Liddon in her Oh She Glows cookbook. I love this book! I’ve tried so many of her recipes and there’s not a single one that I don’t like. I’ve made a few tweaks to personalize it. For example, I like the texture that a homemade cashew butter gives these cookies. I also like to use Lilly’s chocolate chips to cut out as many refined sugars as possible. I order my Lilly’s chocolate from Thrive Market. You can use this membership promo to get some store credit for extra chocolate 😉 (Who doesn’t want extra chocolate?)

If you have any leftovers, I recommend hiding in the pantry and eating them as a post-breakfast snack until the little humans force you out of your hiding place. I’m not saying I’ve done it before, but I’m also not denying it… 🤠You can keep leftovers or extras in the freezer for future indulgence. Let me know if you love these cookies as much as I do!
