These gluten free chocolate cookies ice cream sandwiches are a real treat! The cookies are nice and flaky, dairy free and egg free, perfect on their own. But even more delicious when paired and filled with your favorite vegan ice cream!
Making these gluten free chocolate cookies is super easy and quick.
They are very chocolate-y, flaky and go amazingly with a nice glass of milk!
But to make them extra scrumptious, I decided that making ice cream sandwiches with them was a must-do.
My partner loves them, he says they remind him of the store bought ice cream sandwiches he had, mostly as a kid (and he hasn’t had one in years because of all his food sensitivities).
Ingredients
To make these vegan chocolate cookies you will need:
- almond flour (or finely ground almonds), rice flour and a gluten free starch
- white or brown sugar, or another sweetener of your choice
- baking powder, I used a mix of baking soda and cream of tartar
- unsweetened cocoa powder and vegan chocolate chips
- margarine or vegan butter, melted, so it’s easier to incorporate
- gluten free, plant based milk or alternatively simply water
- your favorite vegan gluten free ice cream, I like to use either plain vanilla, or a nice chocolate-vanilla mix, but pretty much any flavor will do!
Instructions
Here are the few steps to make gluten free vegan chocolate cookies:
- In a bowl mix flours, starch, sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder
- Add the melted margarine and the plant based milk and mix well, until all the ingredients are incorporated
- Form 6 balls of dough, place them on the baking sheet and lightly flatten them patting with your hand (you can make more cookies by making them smaller)
- Top them with the chocolate chips and bake for 20 minutes
- Once baked, let them cool down completely before carefully removing them from the baking sheet, or they will break
- Spread some softened ice cream on the bottom side of a cookie and cover with a second cookie, lightly pressing them together
- Let rest in the freezer for a few hours and enjoy!
