Chocolate Strawberry Cookies (Vegan)

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.

I added some salt to the tops of mine, but that is totally an optional ingredient. Not needed, but nice if you like that sweet/salty combo. These truffles pack a punch of chocolaty flavor. There is chocolate in the inside, and outside. My chocolate loving husband gave these a thumbs up. I hope you enjoy them too.

Gluten Free Red Velvet Donuts

When I think of Valentine’s Day, I immediately think of all things red velvet. Last year for Valentine’s Day I made my girls these Healthy Red Velvet Donuts. Since I didn’t use food coloring, my donuts didn’t have that deep red color you associate with all things red velvet. Well this year I have made a gluten free red velvet donut recipe that contains a secret ingredient to make them deep red.
