I love gluten free cookies because they are easier to make and also healthier. I use 70% cacao chocolate chips just because they doesn’t have milk and the amount of sugar is less too. I also sprinkled these cute heart candies on the top of the cookies, which gave a nice crunchy texture to this recipe and more flavor. To be honest I didn’t think the heart candy was going to work well on this recipe but it did, especially because after baking them, they became even tastier.
This Valentine’s Day Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe is very easy and quick to make. But, it is very important that you allow the cookies to cool completely before you transfer them to a wire rack or a covered container, because they are very delicate when they are hot. You may break them if you don’t wait at least 8 minutes to cool down. They may look undercooked after 10 minutes baking, but when they cool down you will see how soft and perfect they are. However, if you prefer crispier cookies, I suggest you to leave the cookies in the oven for 3 more minutes.
Is there anything as too many cookies? On top of these Valentine cookies, I’ll also be baking my Chocolate Almond Butter Cookies, Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Cranberry Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies!
So, I hope these cookies can really bring more joy during your Valentine’s Day. Want more v-day treats? Try these 10 Healthy Valentine’s Day Desserts or these 12 Healthy Gluten-free Cookies Recipes.
