Chocolate Condensed Milk Cookies (Gluten Free)

Years ago, a Brazilian friend of mine introduced me to Sequilhos cookies. Her family used to make them with only 4 ingredients, and they were delicious.

After becoming gluten intolerant, I modified many traditional recipes I used to eat in order to continue enjoying them. Luckily, this recipe is naturally gluten-free, so it’s a great dessert whose taste and texture doesn’t need to be compromised to accommodate alternative diets.

Taking inspiration from my original Condensed Milk Cookies (Brazilian Sequilhos) recipe and famed Ube Condensed Milk Cookie Recipe, I created this chocolate flavoured version. These are too simple and delicious not to try!
