Don't Forget the Cocoa

I have been trying to expand my Gluten Free items.  Today I was trying my Espresso Cookie.  Since I make this cookie weekly I didn't bother to get out the recipe, after all, I was just trying out a new flour.  When the cookies came out they were very big and much lighter in colour.  I took them and some other samples to meet with friends to see what they thought.  One said "There isn't much taste".  Another said "They are very crumbly."  I took note and thought maybe they would come out chewier if I made them vegan.  Later in the conversation, I was telling them how much chocolate was in the cookie and then I remembered that I had forgotten the cocoa.  Since I had not baked all of the dough before I went out, I was able to add the cocoa and then bake them.  Look at the difference.  The taste is improved as well.
