Battenberg Cookie Recipe (Gluten Free)

If you crave an elevated version of the chocolate chip cookie, then look no further!

These chocolate chunk cookies are the ultimate zhuzhed up dessert, and can be modified depending on what type of chocolate bar you choose to use. Personally, I go for Lindt, but you do you! 🍪💅
