Gluten-Free + Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

These chocolate chip cookies are crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside! Gluten-free, vegan chocolate chip cookies never tasted so good! Made with only 7-ingredients and baked in just 20 minutes!

Cookies + (almond)Milk could possibly be the greatest culinary creation of all time… or maybe it’s just the mood I’ve been in lately. I mean, sometimes a girl just needs a stack of chocolate chip cookies, do you feel me?!

So I decided to make these delicious cookies to celebrate reaching 5k on Instagram! I threw a #5kcookieparty and it was fabulous! I wish we could share cookies through our screens because I sure would have liked to share these with you (although the cookie monster part of me wouldn’t want to share). These cookies are crunchy on the outside and around the edges, and gooey on the inside. Sounds like perfection to me! I was always a soft cookie kinda gal, but I have to admit I really like the crisp edges. I even had a little fun with them and decorated with drizzled chocolate and sprinkles! Get this delicious cookie recipe and let me know when you’re making them so we can sit and have another virtual cookie party!

So this recipe was adapted from my friend Tamsin’s Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies over at Cupful of Kale! She has some super delicious recipes and her photography is stellar! We’ve become quite acquainted via social media and I am so thankful for her support and friendship. Anyway, she warns that eating just one would be nearly impossible… and she was right! So brace yourself, friend. Get those loose fitting sweatpants on girl (or boy!) and get ready, because your cookie game is about to be on fleek!

p.s. Cookie decorating is optional! They are just as delish plain!
