Chocolate Strawberry Cookies that are vegan and gluten free. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I have one more recipe idea for you. These chocolate strawberry vegan Cookies would be PERFECT!
Don’t you think chocolate and strawberries make a fabulous combination? These yummy cookies have twice the amount of chocolate.
Not only is there a chocolate drizzle over the top, but there are also chocolate chips packed inside of each cookie. You have got to try these yummy cookies.
It took me a few attempts to make these red cookies. I originally tried using beet juice, but after the cookies baked, all the red color disappeared.
So I used freeze dried strawberries for this recipe, and they came out great! These Chocolate Strawberry Cookies are vegan, gluten free and grain free. I hope you enjoy them.
