Oat Almond Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Cookie Mix in a Jar. Glutenfree Oilfree Vegan recipe

What I like about these chocolate chunk cookies…. are the Dark Dark Chocolate chunks.. Those chunks of delicious dark chocolate, of different sizes, lots of them, make this one amazing cookie. Unlike evenly shaped chocolate chips, the uneven chunks mean that  there is more chocolate and well distributed chocolate in every cookie. The smaller chunks hide inthe dough and the bigger chunks give that burst of chocolate. Ohh Chocolate.

Just 5 main ingredients.. Oats, Almonds, raw sugar, Chocolate chunks and almond milk.



This easy cookie can be converted into a Cookie mix in jar. With all that chocolate, it has to be on this year’s gift list. Layer the ground Oats, Chocolate chunks, ground sugar, almond flour and you are done. I mix in the baking powder and spices, if using any, into the Oat flour. So what should I call them Oat Almond Chocolate chunk or Almond Oat chocolate chunk or just Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies:)

More Cookies from the blog here. Almost all can easily be converted into a Mix in a jar too. Are we ready for Holiday season yet!



How many chunks can a Chocolate chunk cookie have.. 

Chewie is doing well today. Yesterday, I gave him Hypericum Perforatum 6c(Homeopathy pill version of St Johns wort) and some Benadryl to help him relax. He was keeping himself too stiff and I think yelping out of anxiety with even a tiny bit of pain. With all that, and late morning and  afternoon naps, he was walking fine and yelping only in certain positions. By the evening, he had forgotten everything and wanted to play fetch.. duh. thank you everyone for sending good wishes. 



The below cookies are made from scratch, with extra chocolate chunks. 
All the other pictures are cookies from cookie mix in a jar.



More Chocolate! Or substitute it with dried cranberries:)

Steps for Cookie Mix in a Jar:

Empty the jar in a bowl, mix it with a few strokes.



Add almond milk or non dairy milk. Mix, press down, mix/knead lightly into a dough.(2-3 minutes, so that some of the oil from the almonds gets mixed in, hence eliminating the need for added oil)



Chill the dough for 15 minutes.
Shape into flat cookies.



Bake for 17-18 minutes depending on the size of the cookies.
Done.



As simple as that!
