triple chocolate cookies {gluten free}

If dessert isn't chocolate, it isn't dessert! These cookies are aaaaamazing, chocolatey, moist with just the right amount of sweetness. My family is gluten free, my parents are not. I walked into the kitchen last night and my Dad was sneaking a few of these cookies. That says it all.

I make these in place of my mother's traditional Italian chocolate cookies and they didn't disappoint anyone. They are gluten and grain free and make perfect Christmas cookies, but are great any time of year. I will be making them for our New Year's celebration.
