Gluten-free Mocha Cookies

This recipe is a combination of a few of my favourite things - coffee, chocolate and cookies...

These cookies are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan! They are so simple to make, and smell AMAZING when they are in the oven. In total, from prep to cooling, they took about 30 minutes.

They go down an absolute treat with a cup of coffee or tea, or even a glass of coconut milk! I made a batch yesterday and there are two left... I'm trying my hardest to save them for after dinner tonight...

* for the dairy-free yogurt you can substitute an egg, or a ¼ of a banana. 

The recipe makes 14 cookies which can kept for a few days in an airtight container.

These cookies are soft and spongy, kind of like a cookie-cake - the longer you leave them in the oven the crisper they will become. If you like a nice soft, chewy cookie take them out closer to the ten minute mark. They are quite filling as are most gluten-free baked goods!

These cookies are definitely what I'd call "Grown-up Cookies" because of the espresso and dark chocolate. They also aren't overly sweet - if you prefer a sweeter cookie you can always sub in milk chocolate instead of the dark. I definitely recommend using a good quality instant coffee - something with a nice, rich, robust taste.
