VEGAN AND GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Do you remember that feeling when you were a child and waited in front of the oven for the delicacies in the oven to finally be ready? Do you still do that today? I plead guilty! When I prepared these cookies, I was so excited that I literally waited 15min in front of the oven for them to finally be ready (and hopefully be tasty).

Can you believe that I never ever prepared chocolate cookies at home before? It took me max. 20min to prepare them (and probably 2 seconds to eat the first one) and as they are quite “healthy” (no sugar, no gluten!) I enjoyed 3 right when they came out of the oven. I mean they are the best when they are still warm right?

I guess you notice when you look at the recipe that it is only meant for 5 cookies. Maybe you think now 5 cookies? Is she insane that’s not enough! And you are right! I wanted to trick myself in not preparing too many as I would eat half of them (I still share them of course) right away. But guess what happened? They were gone already after 10 minutes and I prepare new ones the next day 😂
