How to Prepare Gluten Free Chocolate Chunk Cookies [Vegan]

In a big bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients. In a separate smaller bowl, mix the wet ingredients with a solid fork.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well with a fork until the ingredients are fully blended.
Add the chocolate chunks and mix these in well.
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough using a scoop or a tablespoon (about 1 1/2 tbsp of dough) on the lined baking sheet. If using your hands to shape and/or roll, make sure to regularly cool them down with cold running tap water.
Leave about 1 1/2 to 2 inches between each. Lightly flatten each dough ball with a fork to form thick disks.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes on centre rack in preheated oven until the bottoms are light brown. Bake longer for a crispier texture.
Take them out of oven (they will still be soft). Immediately add a pinch of coarsely ground salt on each cookie top (option).
One at a time, remove with spatula and place cookies on a wired rack to cool and solidify. They need to cool completely before eating them.
Store in a covered container lined with a paper towel in the refrigerator or in a dry and cool place.

Notes

Sprinkle tops with a few turns of ground course salt (I used pink Himalayan salt)
