Gluten-free Chocolate Hermits

These cookies are a Christmas staple in our house. We always have to make a double or even a triple batch just so we don’t run out by the time the holiday finally comes around! Now, these cookies may look super rich, but they’re surprisingly light and feel like a brownie in your mouth. The chocolate chips scattered in the dough give a light crunch to contract against the smooth icing on top. The chocolate sprinkles are optional, but they add another nice texture.

Some advice: I would definitely make a double batch like we do because these cookies disappear very quickly. First, you’ll try one, and sneak another, and then decide that since you’ve already had two, why not have a third? These Gluten-Free Chocolate Hermits are so addictive, you’ll never get enough of them!
