Ingredients

  • 6 ounces dark chocolate chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoon gluten free flour blend*
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup walnut pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 fahrenheit.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Place chocolate into a glass bow and pop in the microwave for thirty seconds.Give it a stir, then pop back in for another thirty seconds or until chocolate is just melted.All microwaves are different, so be sure not to let the chocolate scorch.
  • Using a hand mixer, combine eggs, coconut sugar, and vanilla until everything is well incorporated.Once the chocolate has cooled, stir into the egg and sugar mixture until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until you have a thick rich batter. Add in the walnuts and stir until just incorporated.
  • Scoop about a tablespoon of the batter into your palms (it will be very sticky**), and roll into a ball. Place on baking sheet, flatten out just a bit and then continue until you have 12 cookies on your baking tray.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set through, transfer to a wire rake to cool and repeat until you have used all of your batter.
  • Cool and enjoy!

Notes

 
*If you do not need the cookies to be gluten-free, you can swap in some white or whole wheat flour in place of the gluten free flour blend.
**I find wetting my hands before rolling the batter helps keep the dough from sticking to my hands.
