I’m going to toot my own horn for a minute… Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies are the BEST chocolate cookies EVER! (Cue dancing in the kitchen here…) Ok, I’m back. But, honestly, these cookies, with their perfect chewy edge and soft center, intense chocolate flavor and large chocolate chunks are just the thing when chocolate craving hits. The little punch of spice is optional, but I do recommend trying it. The warmth really balances the rich chocolate.  All that AND they are gluten free and dairy free.  I’m telling’ ya – it’s cookie heaven!

These are super easy to make when you use the gluten free all purpose flour blend from GF Jules and Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mega Chunks for the biggest chocolate punch.
