These cookies have a lovely chewy texture and are bursting of chocolate without being too sweet. A welcome treat for visitors and coffee breaks.

Please note that gluten-free baking creates different textures than conventional baking. I use almond meal in this recipe.

Goes well with: tea and coffee, lunch box friendly
