With back to school around the corner, I thought I would make a recipe that all you mamas out there can make for your little ones. Who wouldn't love a chocolate chip cookie in their lunch bag! The only thing that would be an issue with these cookies, is that it contains almond flour which may be against some school codes. I know some schools allow nuts, but just not peanuts, where as others don't allow any nuts.

I was actually talking to one of my friends recently who has a child in public school and she told me that they are not allowing anything that is homemade because the teachers need to be able to read the labels on the packaging to approve the "nut free" rules... PARDON. I completely understand how this can affect those with allergies, but I still believe providing children with homemade cooking over packaged granola bars and cookies is beneficial for their health too. What are your thoughts on this? Yay or Nah for homemade snacks in lunches.. Rant over!

These are the perfect vegan and gluten-free chocolate chip cookies!

How to make THE softest gluten-free chocolate chip cookies!

These cookies are different than other gluten-free + vegan cookies because they are not hard as a rock. They are soft, chewy and overflow with chocolatey goodness. The key ingredient in these (other than the chocolate obviously) is the coconut oil. It soaks into the gluten-free ingredients to soften them up. Ps remember that time I white washed my food photography back drop? BOOM there she be. It actually turned out just how I wanted it to. LOVE IT. It looks so much better white, bright and fresh. Make sure you swing by the post and check out how you can make one too!

Oops sorry couldn't resist, needed to take a bite! Do you know how hard it is to take pictures of cookies and not be able to eat them right away. Give a girl a break... break me off a piece of these cookies. - Yep I said that. GUILTY.

Lets jump into the recipe of these now!

Enjoy these chocolate chip cookies!
