Impressive Flavors that Pop!

One of my favorite two flavors together are CHOCOLATE AND ORANGE! I used Wild Orange essential oil from DoTerra to flavor these mouth watering gluten-free cookies! You can use pure orange extract as well, but I love using essential oils in cooking! You’ll only need a few drops, the flavor goes a long way!

Festive Halloween Cookies

You can use whatever you like to decorate your cookies, but I chose orange zest for that colorful orange pop! It also adds to the addicting orange flavor in these crowd pleasing little cookies 🙂 If you haven’t tried chocolate and orange together then you should definitely give this simply gluten-free vegan recipe a try! They only take 5 minutes to put together before you pop them into the oven!

Wild orange essential oil is extracted from the rind of sweet orange. Orange essential oil can lift your mood, relieve an upset stomach, reduce pain and inflammation and even be used as a natural household cleaner!

Gluten-Free + Vegan Baking Ingredients

When it comes to baking, I prefer to use Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten-free Baking Flour. It’s a game changer, especially when you’re baking gluten-free. In this recipe I use maple syrup to sweeten these little scrumptious snacks but you can also use raw honey if you prefer 🙂 Trust me, it’s the best! Lastly, you’ll need some coconut oil and a good bar of dark chocolate to melt for coating the cookies! I like this brand because it’s clean, fair trade and also helps our rainforests!

Need Baking Staples?

I prefer stainless steel, non-toxic cookie sheets. I always layer them with non-bleached parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Also grabbing a wire cooling rack will change your baking life! This allows for cookies, cakes, muffins and all your beautiful baked goods to safely cool evenly + inhibits them from overcooking. I’m so excited for you to make these super easy Gluten-free Vegan Wild Orange and Chocolate Halloween Cookies!

I hope you love these, now get baking!
