    Why you’ll love these cookies:​

    Ingredients: These flourless cookies come together with only a few simple ingredients making them a great gluten and dairy free treat option.

    Chocolate: Grab your glass of milk because these cookies are chocolate-y!

    Ingredients in Flourless Double Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies

    Egg: just one egg is used in this simple cookie recipe!

    Coconut Sugar and Maple Syrup: these cookies are naturally sweetened with coconut sugar and maple syrup.

    Peanut Butter: I use natural, unsweetened creamy peanut butter.

    Cocoa Powder: I use unsweetened cocoa powder. You could also use cacao powder instead. 

    Baking Soda: to give a little rise to the cookie.

    Salt: a small amount goes a long way.

    Mini Chocolate Chips: I use these dairy free mini chocolate chips. You could use your favorite type of chocolate chips or chunks.

    Chopped Walnuts: I am of the opinion that walnuts were made for chocolate cookies and brownies.

    How to make double chocolate cookies​

    Step 1: In a large bowl, mix together the egg, coconut sugar, and maple syrup using a hand mixer or whisk. Then add in the peanut butter, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.

    Step 2: Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes.

    Step 3: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.

    Step 4: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, roll about 2 tbsp of the dough into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the balls slightly and add additional chocolate chips and walnuts to the tops if desired.

    Step 5: Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before moving the cookies to a cooling rack.
