Chocolate Cookies (Vegan, Gluten-free, Fruit-sweetened)

Here is the recipe for the chocolate cookies that I have used for the ice cream sandwiches the other day. They are just perfect for this – soft and chocolaty, yum!

For this recipe you only need a few ingredients. It is vegan, gluten-free, sweetened with dates and without oil. I have used almond butter to replace oil. You can also use any other nut or seed butter.

Glazed with some chocolate and garnish with walnuts, these cookies were simply perfect! The combination of nuts and chocolate makes for a special flavour. If you live in Aotearoa New Zealand, I recommend the dark chocolate drops from TradeAid. They are perfect 🙂
