Start by making homemade chocolate chips: melt 1/4 cup of cocoa butter in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Mix in 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 2 teaspoons of monk fruit sweetener until fully dissolved.

Pour the mixture into molds and freeze for 1 hour to set.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sorghum flour, 1/2 cup of oat flour, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum.

In another bowl, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 1/4 cup of apple sauce, 1/4 cup of molasses, 2 tablespoons of vegan butter, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice; mix well.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until well incorporated, and add 1/2 cup of the homemade chocolate chips.

Form small balls of cookie dough using a cookie scoop or your hands and place them on a baking sheet.

Bake the cookies for 12 minutes.

After baking, gently smash the cookies to flatten them and let them cool for 15 minutes before serving.
