Chocolate Break
Not every chocolate ritual needs to be complicated. These cookies are quick to make, easy to portion and built around real cacao, almond flour and ingredients you recognise.
Double Chocolate
Cocoa runs through the cookie itself while pieces of dark chocolate create pockets of rich, melted cacao in every bite.
Almond Flour
Almond flour brings natural richness, texture and a little plant protein while helping create that soft, satisfying centre.
Gluten Free
Made with superfine almond flour and gluten free plain flour for a deeply chocolatey cookie without compromising on texture.
Small Everyday Ritual
Around 24 cookies means you can bake once, portion them easily and keep a little chocolate moment ready for the days ahead.
Double Chocolate Cookie Dough
- ½ cup / 110g olive oil
- ¾ cup / 100g dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups / 100g superfine almond flour
- 100g gluten free plain flour

Heat. Line. Bake.
Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
These only need around 8–10 minutes in the oven. The secret is taking them out while the centres are still soft and letting them finish setting on the tray.
Mix. Scoop.
Bake.
Preheat
Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Build The Base
Add the olive oil and dark brown sugar to a large mixing bowl. Beat until thoroughly combined and glossy.
Add Egg & Vanilla
Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated, followed by the vanilla extract.
Add The Dry Ingredients
Add the almond flour, gluten free plain flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix only until everything comes together.
Add The Chocolate
Fold through the chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate. You can bake immediately or chill the dough first for a firmer, thicker cookie.
Scoop
Scoop approximately 1½ tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the lined tray, leaving at least an inch between each one.
Bake
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to feel firm but the centres still look soft.
Let Them Rest
Leave the cookies on the baking tray for at least 10 minutes. They will be delicate straight from the oven and will firm as they cool.
Chocolate With
Something Behind It
They're still cookies and they're meant to be enjoyed as cookies. But choosing real dark chocolate, cacao and almond flour brings more flavour, texture and naturally occurring cacao compounds to the ritual.
Cacao Polyphenols
Dark chocolate and cocoa naturally contain cacao polyphenols, including flavanols — plant compounds found within the cacao bean. Choosing a higher-cacao chocolate keeps the focus on real cacao rather than simply sweetness.
Magnesium & Minerals
Real cacao naturally contains magnesium, iron, copper and manganese — minerals involved in normal energy metabolism, muscle function and everyday nutritional wellbeing.
More Satisfying
Almond flour brings natural fats, protein and texture, while dark chocolate delivers a deeper flavour profile. Together they make a smaller cookie feel richer, more substantial and more satisfying than a very sweet, low-cacao alternative.
Mindful Energy
Cacao naturally contains theobromine alongside a small amount of caffeine. These naturally occurring cacao compounds contribute to the gentle lift associated with dark chocolate, ideal when you want an afternoon chocolate ritual without reaching for another coffee.
Gluten Free Ease
A naturally easy recipe to make gluten free without losing the soft centre and rich texture you actually want from a cookie.
Made To Enjoy
Wellness does not have to mean removing every treat. Sometimes it is simply choosing better ingredients, making something yourself and giving yourself ten minutes to actually enjoy it.
How Dark Do You
Want To Go?
The cocoa already gives these cookies their double-chocolate base. Changing the chopped chocolate changes the personality of the whole cookie.
72%
Smooth, rounded and crowd-pleasing. Choose this for a softer chocolate finish and plenty of rich melted chocolate pockets.
87.5%
Deeper and more grown-up. Rich cacao and berry-like depth balance beautifully against the dark brown sugar.
100%
Pure cacao intensity with no added sugar from the chocolate itself. The cookie dough provides the sweetness, leaving the chocolate bold, complex and beautifully bitter.
Your Cookie Jar Ritual
Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. They'll keep for up to 4 days — assuming they last that long.
Enjoy one with a cup of 80Noir Ultra hot chocolate, tuck one into a lunchbox or keep a few ready for that mid-afternoon moment when you want something small, rich and properly chocolatey.
Bake With
Better Chocolate
