Classic GF Chocolate Chip Cookies

Well, the baking just doesn’t stop over here. With all this free time and boredom starting to creep in I can’t help myself! I have enough baking supplies to last probably another 2 weeks lol :) So you best believe I will make these 20 more times. These are seriously unreal!! I am a big fan of chocolate chip cookies if you couldn’t already tell but it has been a challenge to make them gluten-free with an authentic texture. I LOVE my paleo choc chip cookies. Those are my go-to ‘healthier’ cookies but this recipe is for cheat days. They are so fun to make if you are with friends or kids. They take some time but that is what makes them SO GOOD! Worth every second and every ounce of effort! I guarantee you won’t be able to tell these are vegan OR gluten-free.

• 1 flax egg (1tbsp ground flax, 3 tbsp water)

• 1 tsp vanilla

2. Add in the flax egg

3. Next, add the GF flours, almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together

4. Fold in your chocolate and walnuts
