These giant double chocolate cookies are the perfect treat to pair with your afternoon coffee. You’ll only need a few ingredients to whip them up so there’s no excuse not to make them whenever the craving hits. (Especially since you are likely spending a lot of time at home these days!) Since I have limited freezer space, I am all about small batch baked goods like this one. This recipe makes just 2 giant double chocolate cookies that are gluten free, grain free, and vegan. You can also bake them into 6 small cookies, but I find that the smaller cookies do not firm up as well as the large ones.

Ingredients You’ll Need for these Double Chocolate Cookies:

• Flax: You’ll need some ground flax in order to make a vegan egg. You could also use ground chia seeds too.
• Almond Flour
• Almond Butter: Look for a natural, unsweetened almond butter for this recipe. Make sure to stir it well.
• Maple Syrup: Naturally sweetens these cookies.
• Cocoa Powder
• Baking Soda
• Sea Salt
• Vegan Chocolate Chips: I try to purchase vegan chocolate chips that are also fair trade.

Can you freeze these cookies?

Yes! You can freeze these cookies and pop them into the microwave for a few seconds to defrost them and enjoy later.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
• 3 tablespoons warm water
• 1/3 cup almond flour
• 1/3 cup almond butter
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
• Add ground flax seed and water to a medium size mixing bowl. Set aside for 2-3 minutes until gel forms. 
• Add the almond flour, almond butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to the flax egg. Mix well with a wooden spoon. (Dough will be wet/soft.)
• Stir in the vegan chocolate chips. 
• Divide dough into two and spread onto baking sheet. Bake for 22-24 minutes or until top is cracked and no longer looks wet. 
• Allow to cook completely on baking sheet to allow them to firm up before eating or transferring to a container to store. 

Notes

Don't want to make giant cookies? You can also make 6 small cookies from this batter, but reduce the bake time to 10-12 minutes. The smaller cookies are softer than the giant ones, but just as tasty. Make sure to allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet for best results.
