Gluten Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

T-30 minutes to have these fudgy morsels in your hands.

I love a yummy sweet treat in the afternoon hot from the oven, especially as we start moving into the cooler winter months.

While the original recipe was full of refined sugars, eggs and butter (feel free to sub those in!) I wanted a little healthier version, so whipped this up and success! A few flax eggs here, coconut oil substitutions there and ALWAYS adding guar or xantham gum to make sure everything sticks together when using gluten free flour.

Pull out your vegan butter and pre-heat your oven babe.

Because these bitches are HAPPENING for you right meow.
