Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and while it’s not my favorite holiday, it is a perfect excuse to make and enjoy loads of sweet treats. \u00a0It’s also a good excuse to enjoy an especially \u00a0nice meal with your sweetheart, either at home or out. \u00a0Candles and roses required of course.<\/p>\n

In anticipation of Valentine’s Day I’ve decided to spend the next couple of weeks baking and sharing some delicious Valentine’s Day goodies. \u00a0By the time it rolls around my husband is probably going to be sick of chocolate, but that’s ok. \u00a0I’ll pick up the slack. \u00a0I have this amazing ability to endure baked goods and sugar beyond what is considered normal. \u00a0What can I say, it’s a gift!<\/p>\n

These are not your typical chocolate cookie since they’re flourless (gluten free!) and end up being very crunchy on the outside with just a little bit of gooey middle. \u00a0Whole Foods makes a similar cookie that has walnuts which I kind of love. \u00a0You could easily adds nuts into this cookie if you’d like. \u00a0The pure chocolately goodness of them without nuts is wonderful, though. \u00a0The cocoa powder, semi sweet and milk chocolate chips makes these triple chocolate, but you could opt for just one kind of chip, or go crazy and add in dark chocolate chunks as well.<\/p>\n

This cookie batter\/dough comes together in no time and while you can use a stand mixer, you don’t need one. \u00a0The ingredients are simple and you likely have them all in your kitchen right now. \u00a0You definitely need to bake these cookies on parchment paper or a nonstick silicon mat. \u00a0They stick a little, even to the parchment, so use a stiff spatula (or a small offset one) to get underneath the cookies as you’re taking them off the sheet. \u00a0This way you won’t lose any chocolate pieces. \u00a0That would be a tragedy.<\/p>\n

Watch out for little hands. \u00a0They’ll swoop down when you least expect it and steal these. \u00a0I let her eat the whole thing by the way. \u00a0Right before dinner. \u00a0Great parenting over here.<\/p>\n
