Gluten free Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies blend oat, almond, and buckwheat flours with vegan chocolate chips. The recipe uses almond milk, almond butter, and flaxseed meal to bind and add moisture. The dough is chilled slightly before baking at 360°F until the cookies are just golden on the edges but still soft, resulting in tender, chewy cookies with melty chocolate chunks and a subtle cinnamon note.

- Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F / 180ºc. Divide the dough in smooth balls. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. Lightly flatten the balls. Put a drop of water at the center of each cookie. Bake for 13 to 14 minutes. Bake until just about starting to get golden on the edges. Longer baking will make them crunchier.
