Red velvet lovers rejoice! These soft, chewy (and easily portable!) cookies incorporate a great gluten-free flour so pleasing more partiers is possible. After mixing the better-for-you ingredients – including turbinado sugar, grass-fed ghee and organic cocoa powder – dollop the dough onto a baking sheet and place the cookies in the freezer for about an hour. This technique helps the cookies spread less, develop a richer, chewier texture and retain their regal red color.
