Gluten-free cookies are too pricey for the quantity received. A package of chocolate cookies can be gone before I even mention it to my four children. So I decided to prepare some today so I could have one, and even so, they didn’t last until the end of the day. At the very least, I can claim they enjoyed them.

For a total of 24 cookies

Time to prepare: 10 minutes

Time to cook: 12-15 minutes

• 1 1/2 cup of gluten free all purpose flour
• 3/4 tsp. baking soda
• a pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp. of chia seeds
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of vegan butter
• 1 cup of chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup of walnuts
• 5 tbsp. almond milk
• Zest and juice of 1 orange

1. Preheat your oven to 375º.
2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave, not too long or it will cook and crystallize which is not good, or you can melt it in a double boiler.
3. In a bowl, mix the flour, the baking soda, the salt and the chia seeds. In another bowl, cream the butter and the brown sugar.
4. Combine the flour mix to the butter mix and add the chocolate and the walnuts.
5. Mix in the orange zest, the juice and the almond milk.
6. On a cookie sheet, place 1 tbsp. of batter and place it in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until you see the bottom starts to be golden.
