🍪 Gluten-Free Chocolate Cookies

✅ Ingredients:

• 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

• 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter

• 2/3 cup (130g) granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/3 cup (35g) almond flour (or gluten-free all-purpose flour)

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• Optional: 1/3 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts for mix-ins

🧑‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until thick and pale.

4. Combine: Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir to combine.

5. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in cocoa powder, then stir in almond flour, baking powder, and salt until a thick batter forms. Fold in extra chocolate chips or nuts, if using.

6. Scoop Dough: Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each.

7. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes until cookies are puffed and crackly on top but still soft in the center.

8. Cool: Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

🍫 Tips:

• For extra chewy centers, slightly underbake.

• Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a flavor boost.

• Store in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
