Ingredients

    ¾ cup dark brown sugar
    ½ cup sugar
    1 tsp fine sea salt
    ½ cup vegan buttery spread, softened
    ½ cup + 2 tbsp (150mL) dry red wine (I used a Chianti)
    1 tbsp vanilla extract
    ¾ cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
    ½ cup sorghum flour
    ¼ cup chickpea flour
    ½ cup teff flour
    ¼ cup tapioca starch
    1 tbsp ground chia seeds
    1 tsp guar gum
    ½ tsp baking powder
    1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks

Directions

Cream together the sugars, salt and vegan butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Beat in the wine and vanilla.
Beat in the cocoa powder, flours, tapioca starch, chia, guar and baking powder until well combined.
Fold in the chocolate chunks.
Wrap in plastic and chill 1 hour, or freeze up to 4 months.
Scoop 2-tbsp balls of dough 2” apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets and flatten slightly.
Place cookie sheets in the freezer while the oven heats.
Heat the oven to 375 F.
Bake, one sheet at a time, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the centre just becomes firm.
Let cool on the baking sheet.
