Gluten Free/Vegan Chocolate Cookies

A gluten free and vegan cookie that tastes just as good as any chocolate cookie you would bite into? I say, yes! These cookies are easy to make and taste so good you won't know they are gf and vegan!

I have been trying to experiment a bit with vegan recipes lately, ever since I realized that I don't have many of them on my blog. There are some people who have to eat dairy free, or who are vegan by choice, and I want to offer them more delicious dessert options.

So, here is one delicious, easy-to-make, and amazing vegan cookie recipe. Try it, and I know you'll love it!
