Decadent Grain-Free Double Chocolate Chip Cookies—rich, chewy, and naturally gluten-free for a perfect chocolate fix!
What Makes This Recipe Great
5th times a charm? It was for these Grain Free Double Chocolate Cookies! I honestly have never had to remake a recipe this many times. There have been many times I gave up on recipes after 2 or 3 times just because it wasn’t worth it, but I was determined to make these grain free cookies work!!! I LOVE double chocolate cookies and knew they needed to be a bit fudgey with a little crisp around the edges. Now these aren’t SUPER fudgey but they are are moist and have that little crisp! 2 of the rounds I tried were okay enough for me to still eat, but 2 of them I had to throw away because they just crumbled in your mouth – EW. The addition of a little nut butter is exactly what these needed and it made them perfect!
These Grain Free Double Chocolate Cookies are a healthy way to enjoy a decadent dessert! Packed with chocolate flavor and sweetened with coconut sugar! Also these cookies are gluten free which is great for birthday parties and other gatherings as the gluten free population is ever growing and we need to be prepared to accommodate more folks with gluten intolerance or Celiac Disease.

Loved these cookies! My mom is a baker and she was blown away by this yummy, clean recipe! So excited to pass this on to others! Thanks for your hard work!
That is great news! Thanks!
I made these yesterday. They came together quickly, and tasted great but I found them to be quite dry. I was making them for a layer of an ice box cake and I think they will work well when layered with other ingredients, but I prefer a chewier cookie.
