Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies (Cookie Bars)

This is a throwback to my favorite cookie recipe growing up. Unfortunately with UC I can't eat a lot of the things I used to...but this tastes identical if not better than the original. Can be made as cookies or as cookie bars (just place dough in a 9x13 pan and spread out and cut into diamond shapes). These are delish. ENJOY!
