How to make THE softest gluten-free chocolate chip cookies!
These cookies are different than other gluten-free + vegan cookies because they are not hard as a rock. They are soft, chewy and overflow with chocolatey goodness. The key ingredient in these (other than the chocolate obviously) is the coconut oil. It soaks into the gluten-free ingredients to soften them up. Ps remember that time I white washed my food photography back drop? BOOM there she be. It actually turned out just how I wanted it to. LOVE IT. It looks so much better white, bright and fresh. Make sure you swing by the post and check out how you can make one too!
Oops sorry couldn't resist, needed to take a bite! Do you know how hard it is to take pictures of cookies and not be able to eat them right away. Give a girl a break... break me off a piece of these cookies. - Yep I said that. GUILTY.
Lets jump into the recipe of these now!
Enjoy these chocolate chip cookies!
