I give to you these UNREAL Dark Chocolate Gem Cookies that are completely vegan and totally amazing!! Taking one of my new favorite on-the-go snacks and using them as a chocolate chip replacement was the best idea ever. These cookies have the perfect sweet and salty kick that will cure any sweet tooth. Be sure to keep an eye out for my vegan chocolate peanut butter cheesecake garnished with the @unreal.snack Crispy Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup.

Chef’s tip: If your cookies do not flatten completely, lightly press down using a spatula.
How many eggs does this recipe call for? I’m using applesauce as an egg replacer. Thanks!
Hey Kayla!
I would try 1 cup of applesauce to replace the egg replacer (2 eggs).
