Espresso + dark chocolate = LOVE at our house and these delicious cookies are a new favorite for sure! The gooey, chewy cookies are based on my favorite gluten free & vegan brownie recipe from Babycakes NYC so they're rich, fudgey & intensely chocolate. Add in an espresso kick and you've got a cookie that's not for the faint of heart. Serious dessert lovers only!

1/4 cup potato starch
2 TBSP tapioca starch (or arrowroot)

1/4 tsp xanthan gum

3 TBSP coffee (or water)
2 TBSP instant espresso
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate chips

Drop by tsp onto cookie sheet & bake for 8-10 minutes.
Being a mother of a new born, And taking care of 4 younger siblings, is a drain on me. My morning starts at 6 a.m and usually ends at 11 p.m. So, as You must know, I'm constantly tired. I feel as if I can barely find time to sleep, even while I'm sleeping. So, I needed something That would brighten my day and wake Me up. I love chocolate! And, I love to bake. Coffee wasn't doing much for me, and I couldn't afford energy drinks. These cookies are everything I look forward to, And they were exactly what I was looking for. I hope You love then as much as I do.
Thanks Brittany! I am so glad you liked them! You've definitely got your hands full :) I would love for you to vote for these so they can make it to the front page!!
