The Best Gluten Free Spicy Chocolate Almond Cookies

Why I Love These Chocolate Almond Cookies


A soft baked cookie that is easy gluten-free and tastes delicious - these chocolate almond cookies are all that and more! These cookies are a healthier take with (almost) all-natural ingredients!


I love these cookies because I can replace ingredients as needed. I could replace the chocolate chunks with cocoa nibs if I wanted to make a 100% natural cookie. Cocoa nibs won't melt, but they will add chocolate and a satisfying crunch!


Tips For Making Gluten-Free Chocolate Almond Cookies


My #1 tip for these cookies is to be gentle with the dough. Do not over-mix, and fold in the chocolate chunks. If you are like me as soon as the cookies come out, you are gonna want to eat them immediately. You need to resist the urge to do that, just wait about 10 minutes before indulging! The cookies will firm up just enough while they cool. While you wait, get your cup of milk, coffee, or tea ready!



Freezing Chocolate Almond Cookies


Should you find yourself with extra cookies, you can easily pop these into the freezer. I placed my extras into the freezer in a freezer bag and enjoyed them cold when I wanted a treat. My cookies were gone within a month, but I think they could freeze for about 3 months. After 3 months, you may want to consider vacuum sealing for freshness.


Enjoying a cookie straight out of the freezer may not be for everyone. If you'd like, you can microwave your frozen cookie for 10-15 seconds to take the chill out of it. Avoid overheating as that can lead to a cookie that falls apart.
