A Recipe for Gluten-free Mocha Fudge Cookies with Dairy-Free Options

These gluten-free mocha fudge cookies are amazingly delicious! I wasn’t sure if the flavor of the instant espresso crystals would come through but the cookies ended up being the perfect blend of chocolate and coffee. They are slightly crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. They are probably the best gluten-free cookie recipe that I have ever created.

Gluten-Free Mocha Fudge Cookies Recipe using espresso crystals (640x403)

I used Medaglia D’Oro Instant Espresso Crystals to create the coffee flavor without using a liquid. I paired it with Rodelle Gourmet Baking Cocoa because Rodelle’s cocoa powder has a deeper, richer flavor than other cocoas, so it was not overwhelmed by the flavor of the espresso crystals.

To make this cookie recipe gluten-free, I used Spectrum Organic All Vegetable Shortening. I am able to find the shortening at several grocery stores in my area. If your cookies don’t need to be dairy-free, you can use butter that has been allowed to come to room temperature in place of the shortening.

    Hello, this looks like a great recipe. I have a gluten free all purpose flour that is a mix of flours. Do you think I could use it instead of the flours and would I use 2 cups?

      Your gluten-free all-purpose flour mix should work just fine. Yes, just use 2 cups. I hope you enjoy the cookies!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
