These rich and chocolatey double fudge cookies have a sneaky dose of vegetables inside!
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup vegan buttery spread
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup organic cane sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup beet puree see notes
- ½ cup certified gluten free oats
- 1 ½ cups gluten free flour blend
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch or tapioca starch
- 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the gluten free oats in a food processor and process until they are finely ground.
- Combine the ground gluten free oats, gluten free flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and cornstarch in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and beet puree and mix together.
- Add the dry ingredients a little at a time while mixing on low speed until incorporated.
- Turn off the mixer and stir in the dairy free chocolate chips.

- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 10-12 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
To make beet puree: Peel two small beets and cut into large chunks. Place in a small pan with enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Simmer until the beets are tender, about 20 minutes. Place the beets and a tablespoon or two of the water into a food processor and process until very smooth.
If you can't have beets, use an equal amount of mashed banana, unsweetened applesauce, or prune puree.
You can freeze this cookie dough - just drop onto a cookie sheet and place in a freezer for one hour. Then remove and place the cookie dough balls into a freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to three months.
