I love the natural sweetness added by ingredients like coconut flour, applesauce and maple sugar flakes.  These chocolate, chocolate chip cookies are a yummy treat.  Packed with dark chocolate chips (if you're not as huge a fan of chips in your cookies, you can use less).  Enjoy! 

Soft Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies - Yum!

In a large bowl, mix together dry ingredients: 

1/2 cup Kristin's Gluten-Free Flour Mix

1/4 cup coconut flour

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/4 tsp xanthan gum

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

In a mixer, beat until fluffy: 

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup maple sugar flakes (or more brown sugar)

Add and mix in: 

1/2 cup apple sauce

1/4 cup milk

2 eggs

1 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Scoop small 1 Tbsp size scoops onto parchment-lined pan.  

Scooped and ready to bake!

Bake at 350 F for 7-8 min.  Let rest 4-5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack to fully cool.  Enjoy! 

Fresh from the oven!
