Omg I love these!
They do taste great!
How have I not come across this blog before?! This could be my lifesaver for my new Paleo Diet. Cant wait to try these!! Thanks
Hope you like them!
What sort of chocolate did you use? Is it a sugar free one? Or raw cacao? Also what is xantham gum???? Thx! 🙂
I use dairy free dark chocolate. It is not sugar free but it’s sugar content is lower because it’s 85% dark chocolate.
Xanthan gum is what’s used to help hold gluten free baked goods together. 🙂
Thank you!! I might look for a sugar free option for the chocolate but otherwise will give this a try! 🙂
Hi, I found your post from Healthy 2 Day Wednesday, these cookies looked inviting 🙂
I will be trying these soon, YUM! The only thing is, I am not sure if I feel comfortable with xanthan gum, what is it from? Is there an alternative? Maybe arrow root powder? Is it more of a starch?
Thanks for posting! 🙂
Xanthan gum is used to keep gluten free flours, more specifically baked goods from crumbling.
Instead of xanthan gum and can use guar gum or psyllium husk. 🙂
Do you think flax or chia seed would work also since they are used as egg replaces in many vegan recipes?
They would probably work 🙂 Why not try a half batch first. Let me know.
Cookies I really like – Scones I love. Fresh scones, lashings of butter – no…. not cream and jam, just good butter. Yummo….
