Gluten Free Double Chocolate Cookies

These gluten free cookies have double the chocolate, making them extra delicious.

Just don't forget the salt. Ha. When I made these cookies the first time I was wondering what was missing. Then my sister kindly pointed out that I might have forgotten to put salt in them.  And that is why I shouldn't be baking after spending a full day outdoors with my energetic nieces and nephews.

Oh, well. Lesson learned.

This time I remembered the salt. And they turned out great.

These cookies are filled with a great chocolate flavor, are soft and chewy, and are pretty quick to throw together compared with other chocolate cookies.
