Notes

When you portion the cookies with the ice cream scoop, use a spatula to press the batter down into it. This way the drop cookies hold together.

Don't try to drizzle the chocolate sauce onto the cookies if they're still warm to the touch. It will just melt and get all over the place.

The gluten-free cookies are not overly sweet (very much a dark chocolate flavor). If you have a very sweet palate, add in a bit of coconut palm sugar or stevia leaf powder to the mix.

For the chocolate sauce, I use this Wildly Organic Chocolate Syrup which is a game changer and saves me a ton of time. If you don't have a chocolate sauce on hand, you can of course make one by melting some chocolate chips with coconut oil and a smidge of honey to keep it thick. However, the texture of the cookies might be a bit different.
